The more you think about it the more you realize how clever PIF have been with us. They’ve fully understood FFP rules and acted accordingly.
They took their time to find the right manager - one who could greatly improve players we already had (thus partly reducing the need to buy more). They saw that FFP applies over a 3 year rolling average, meaning that any new signing needs to be, not only good enough but, good enough for at least 3 seasons - hence we’ve signed only young players and no last pay out, ageing superstars.
Finally we’ve concentrated in part on players that can play in more than one position, giving flexibility and so putting less pressure on the need for so many new players.
We are being well run by smart and experienced people.
