Financial Fair Play

Can someone explain how Forest sell their two prized assets for £7m (?) to comply with FFP and then the next day spend c. the same amount on the Peterborough striker.

Am I missing some obvious loophole in FFP ?

Incidentally seemed like Darlow and Lascelles were the real deal whereas this striker (can't spell his) must be a gamble

You have to make money to spend money that's it :D

But next year... The players they then lose will not generate FFP credits as they have used those to balance this year's spending.
