    To my mind, both Man. City and Chelsea will get away with it. Will anybody be surprised?

    Now Leicester City are in trouble and could be deducted points by the EFL.
    That could be interesting for their promotion chances...perhaps.

    Cat amongst the pigeons if Leicester face a points deduction, given the breach falls between the EPL and EFL not sure how it would be enforced.
    That aside FFP rules really do nothing but make the playing field even more uneven, big clubs can spend more..

    I can't understand how clubs fall foul of quite simple rules. There is a risk and reward element, but Forest have behaved stupidly.

    FFP does keep the status quo in tact, it's an imperfect system and poorly thought out. However, without it there wouldn't be much competition and the richest would be at the top, rather than the current 'big 6'. Newcastle and City would dominate the league without doubt.

    We'd be f*cked too as there's a few clubs around us who would love the chance to blow £50m to get up to the prem.

    Leicester have broken Premier League FFP rules.

    This is a complete fiasco because by all accounts, Leicester get the points deduction if and when they go up! 🤡🤡🤣

    So they’re allowed to get promoted before they get punished! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Just like Villa in reverse, they get their EFL punishment from their promotion season if and when they get relegated again.

    Absolutely ludicrous.

    If that is truly the case Mick then it's going to be made worse by the impending disagreement between the two footballing bodies that oversea both leagues.
    This is beyond the silly season now.

    It is. That means if they never get relegated they avoid punishment.
