Yes but how do you calculate that debt then?Quote:

This whole thing is about player wages.
They won't impose a wage limit, as they would get sued. So they put the pressure on the clubs, to influence the market indirectly.
When no one can afford to buy and pay them, the market will have to change, or no one moves anywhere.
Didnt one of the Pies say that there is a wage cap on their division? Dont recall the League being sued over that
However FFP is dressed up, all they are doing is trying to get clubs to operate within fixed tolerance of Income vs Expenditure. If 19 of the clubs managed to comply, then something must be working, even if not perfectly.
If this is directly or indirectly influencing wage reduction, agents fees etc then for me its a good thing, especially if it protects other businesses who service football clubs from non-payment of bills
Those clubs with the huge debts - eg Bolton, that is a loan from a rich owner, a bit like Fawaz did with Florest. If their owner converts the debt to equity, then does that make it right again? What they are doing though is managing the day to day costs to stop the debt spiralling even higher than the limits FFP imposed
No the Pies players don't have a wage cap.Quote:

The only way I can see Bolton compiling with the regulations is that they have sold the naming rights for their stadium in April, if they have managed to put all the money from the 4 year deal into last years figures. But of course they will struggle next year to avoid an embargo.
Do we have 24 registered players? Or if we offload say Abdoun and Collins etc and fall below 24, can we buy or loan as normal?
no it's simply 1 player out 1 player in on a free or loan we can't buy, not sure how many registered players we have Romanis, we can if needed get emergency loan goalkeeper only,Quote:

So we can sign 2 on a free and pay wages of no more than 12k each?
