Villa broke the Financial Fair Play rules

[Whicka_Mon]

Why did Birmingham get whacked then, and Villingham quite simply didnt, and they wont of course ?.
It angers me that Brighton and other clubs can rack up so many debts just to earn that all elusive place in the Prem, and the so called FFP rule (financial fair play) was not only ignored, it was totally thrown in the bin. It really is a case of one rule for one or two etc, and the rest of us have to like it or lump it!.

Trouble is the punishment takes place the season after the event.
If Villa had not got promoted they would be facing points deductions like Blues next season.
The fact clubs can leave this punishment behind with them when they get promoted is a disgrace.

That's OK, they can deduct the points from them when they are back in the championship season after next.

Very funny . I hope they do go straight back down, not for any other reason other than the two vile (excuse the pun) loud moths that appear on here very occasionally. I doubt they will though, I think they will be mid table or just below.

I agree Stripes that it shouldn't be one rule for us and everyone else get lost as that would make me a hypocrite; been reading some more and as of a few days after the playoff final we moved to PL rules and out of the EFL jurisdiction. The PL rules devotes 3 pages to FFP, the EFL has 58! Tells its own story really and things need to change.
