I must say though, I’m not a fan of the time it takes to investigate, and the punishments meted out halfway through the following season.
There needs to be a way to ensure punishments are handed out at the end of the 3 year cycle of ffp. Then a points deduction / fine can be applied for that season and the promoted/relegated teams adjusted accordingly.
Submitting Jan to Jan accounts with them being assessed by end of season? And give clubs an opportunity to explain discrepancies?
Don’t know if it will work that way, or if it’s meant to already, but whatever they’re doing, there needs to be clarity. Even Everton don’t know what’s included in the ffp calculations. And punishments need to be predetermined so there’s no excuse for a club claim it’s unjust.
