I am not saying I agree with this but just dealing with facts here.
Loads of clubs use loopholes to escape punishment.
Again I don't agree with it but these are facts that cannot be ignored.
I agree , dealing with facts is the only way. The facts are you sold your training ground to an arm of venkys for just shy of £17m - this loophole is now closed, the AA sale looks to have gone through as a lumper. Let’s be right loopholes are laws at the end of the day , and only those making the rules are the ones to tell you why they exist- to suit there own means perhaps?

You can only get away with it so long as these loopholes/laws are getting closed by the EFL. As a club you have one of the highest player wage to revenue ratios - around 180%. You only have so many assets to shift that are ground based before player trading is the only outlet. I would say you are under a microscope on your dealings and accounts , the one HUGE asset is Diaz and I would imagine an imminent sale of him is keeping the wolves from the door - I think a similar thing happened when Birmingham sold Bellingham , yet breached FFP twice

For what it’s worth if you sign Callum styles, now there is a quality player - but blended in to the vast majority but the lad has massive potential and talents would be best served higher up the pyramid

My prediction? Diaz will be gone by the end of august!
