So FFP doesn't really stop the big spenders then...

The biggest disgrace is that the Football League didn't disclose the amount of the fine, it was Bournemouth's accounts. Good transparency.

The only way to stop it is a points deduction doesn't matter which league you are in

And that's why people will keep breaking the rules. A £7.6m fine against a £100m profit from being in the PL.

You can see where this will go wrong. Some owners will overspend but not get to the PL. They will then walk away and the club gets landed with a fine for the next owners to pick up.

Fines for the owners at the time of the offence and not being promoted would be more effective.

Yup, and that's always the excuse; 'it was the previous nasty owners, you shouldn't penalise us now'.

Points deduction or promotion prevention seem the best options but you can be sure it'd go to court...

And Leicester will be getting...............................away with it again probably ?!

That's why they need to act quicker. Hit the owner personally and block the clubs promotion.

so a 6m limit was exceeded by over 30m.
Scary factor is also they felt the need for a 30m wage budget in the Championship. Maybe we can't afford to get promoted.
Also look at the other sides mentioned Bolton, Forest & Fulham. Once the sugar daddy owners disappear it really does get bleak.

Wasn't that just on Kenwyne Jones?

Hadn't seen about this previously either - http://www.theguardian.com/football...ball-league-financial-fair-play-investigation

Leicester can't be prosecuted for anything because no-one can pronounce the owner's name.
