Done It's going to be very interesting to see what happens to clubs who flout FFP rules be it European (like say Man C or Real Madrid) ot domestic (like QPR). I still think when it comes to it the football authorities may have to back down if it gets legal
Done! FFP won't stop anyone. The numbers are so easy to fudge if you know what you're doing, and in an industry with so much money running in and out there's simply no way that even Championship clubs won't have a financial department capable of moving money around. A rich owner will spend money on his team, regardless of the FFP rules. A smart owner will do it through a company or a sponsor to make it look like the team is earning the money in a legitimate way. It will probably hit the courts at some point, and I reckon FFP will probably be killed off.
http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/qpr-facing-a-record-fine-after-65m-loss-9173858.html It says in this Evening Standard article that QPR face a fine of nearly £50m!!!! However it only applies if they go up - if they stay in the Championship it's just a transfer embargo
Hope not, their owner owns the company I work for so don't want to see him struggle But I agree with Ender a smart chairman will just move the money around and sponsership will be be on some corner fag.
