He is spot on, FFP is basically punishing businesses for investing in their businesses, It's completely daft and won't run the course,

[RobbieTheMan]

Talking about clutching at straws.
The article in the Manchester Evening News is about the UEFA’s FFP rules and not those which are used in the Football League.

He does not mention Forest or Leeds etc
The FFP rules in the Football League where voted in by the clubs, not imposed by the League, The FA or UEFA. Last November the rules where again changed and ratified at a meeting of the clubs in Derby. This gave the mandate for the League to get agreement on the Financial Solidarity Arrangements with the Premier League. This changed the amount of debt allowed to 13m a season and will also lead to more money from Premiership being shared with FL clubs. Also part of this arrangement is for the Premier League to withhold monies to clubs to pay FL fines (QPR)
In the Championship Forest should be one of the teams to benefit, if run correctly. They have one of the best levels of support which should give them the level of spending to attract the best talent.
Unfortunately a succession of bad

[garibaldi]

I'll bite. Go on then who's on 45k a week? And who's the 5 or more on 25k?

[essexred52]

100 % right regarding players wages here Rob I agree fully with that, we was guilty of paying players to much at this level but as Garibaldi said who is on 45k a week?

[RobbieTheMan]

Any 5 of these or all 6 on 25K
Matty Fryatt
Britt Assombalonga
Henty Lansbury
Michall Antonio
Michael Mancienne
Robert Tesche
This was confirmed by the chairman the 4 summer signings on 25K cannot see Lansbury accepting any less can you.
And this little gem was reported to be on 50K a week.
Djamel Abdoun 45K

[essexred52]

35K Abdoun is on I hear.

With the 13% NI contribution Forest pay ,these players costs easily exceed 50% of the turn over.
