    Bournemouth

    Fined £4.75m

    That dragged on a bit.

    The rewards for breaking the rules far outweigh the fine.

    Maybe we should try it.

    We would get relegated to the Unibond if we tried anything like that

    It's a pathetic fine - apparently because Bournemouth didn't realise they had broken the rules...................really?!

    Basically if you are prepared to take the risk - you will get away with it.

    Feel free to chuck in £100m - just be sure to keep £4.75m back

    When you have super wealthy owners, the only thing that would make them stick to the rules is if they were docked 10 or 20 points at the start of the season.

    good idea - although presumably not feasible as the Football League have not remit over the Premier League?

    Lets be honest about it. FFP is about as robust as mi Mums owd net curtains.

    We can all see whats going on, but getting through the rules isn't difficult if you have the cash. You can cheat all you like as long as you dont upset the apple cart.
