will the club care about ffp? (1 Viewer)

Rarely post here but lurk around. Live up north so the move to Northampton hasn't directly affected me, barely made it to the Ricoh and wouldn't go to sixfields.

Anyway I was just pondering how the attendances and impact in revenue was going to affect the club next season so googled ffp. Turns out the only penalty for wages exceeding predicted revenue in league one is a transfer embergo. Seeing as we're no stranger to these over the past years due to late accounts etc do people think it will actually have any impact? Sisu have funded the losses this season so sell a couple of players in the summer, Chuck a couple more kids into the first team and away they go.

Was a bit confused as it reads like you guess what your revenue will be at the start of the season and update it as you go along so has this season already taken sixfields attendances into account for ffp rules?

Rules in the championship look a lot more involved but not anything the club need to worry about just yet!

If we are at Northampton next season we will be relegation favorites if we lose Wilson. Our income from ticket sales could be as low as 400K. And we don 't have much income other than this. IIRC we can spend 60% on players, including transfer fees So that would be 240k on wages. That works out at less than 5k a week. So we would need a squad of players out of the academy. If as expected we would be placed under an embargo. If this included loans we would be

And a all because our pig headed thick skinned owners are too dim to bite the bullet and come back to coventry

The only people who care are fans and even we are finding it hard to raise any enthusiasm . Our owners do not give a damn.

Spoon, you've got it about right. Sisu will do exactly as they please. Football League are toothless.
Sell a couple of players, youth team. About right, sadly.

Personally I think the FL will acknowledged their role in Thai and show us some leniency using their 'discretion'. I'm not too worried about this.

FFP is an absolute joke with most clubs finding their way around it. Don't expect us to be any different

SISU will use it to their advantage when it suits them otherwise they won't care less about it.

FFP can be gotten around by the injection of equity. Our owners won't do that of course, and we wont be spending the kind of money to bother the FFP rules

I bet they don't. What if a club goes down on goal difference who have stuck to FFP and we stay up on goal difference having received leniency from the FL on FFP meaning we have been able to make signings the other club were not allowed to. Would the FL really run this risk.

The leniency this season on minimum points deduction and one in one out transfer embargo was down to the approval of the ground share. I would say the favours have ran out. Unless they approved another move to another town.
