FFP Update

[dsqpr]

I would not pay them a single penny. Call their bluff, take the ####ers to court.

I agree with you Kirill (break out the fireworks, it doesn't happen often!) but Tony seems to be a "keep the peace" kind of guy and appears to be trying to mend our relationship with the authorities. I'm sure we would win if we went to court but I guess Tony thinks it is more important to keep everybody happy and he is willing to pay for the privilege. Althought not £58m, obviously. This compromise (greatly reduced fine) was always the likeliest outcome. The FL are offside and they know it.

QPR relief as Financial Fair Play fine set to be £8m....

I thought this paragraph was interesting - I hadn't heard the last bit before:

The squad have undergone radical surgery after their relegation to the Championship, with a number of high-earning players removed from the payroll. The director of football, Les Ferdinand, has overseen new signings but has refused to pay wages of more than £20,000 a week.

[QPR Richard]

Perhaps in future, any player we sign should have a relegation clause which cuts their money. We may or may not get players to agree, but it would safeguard us in the event of going down.

[Ginger Ninja]

Totally agree with not spending like we used but it's obvious the squad needs strengthening and it looks like he won't be going down the road of playing a few more youngsters otherwise he wouldn't have signed Konchesky and Perch, also with the Rumours of Best and Shittu signing I think he could have done with some money to get a bit of quality, not talking big names or older prem players but maybe some talent from the lower divisions.

Agree with your point about best and shittu, definitely not the players we should be targeting.

Ha Ha.


Seriously though, is this a new update and even more confirmation , cos we had a thread saying the same price a week or so ago and it was great news to hear, if its coming out in the press again it means more chance its true,

Here is the thread from brian last week, but the source was the mirror.

I'd heard similar, but that £20k is the absolute top that we'll pa (for an exceptional player). Unofficial wage cap is now £15k a week for virtually every new player.

I love it!

Did anyone see this and not smile?

I do think we should have a win bonus in place, might get them to fight till the very end.

To who though? Seriously would like to know and if we are paying interest and how much that is.
