Stoke and FFP

[Awin]

Look to be signing Afobe for £12 mil and McLean for £6 mil

FFP really seems to be working (selectively).

[West Acton]

Has afobe not already signed for Wolves

Has afobe not already signed for Wolves

they apparently are ok with selling him for a profit.

i can see smithies going to stoke too tbh, no way will butland be sticking around at stoke

[West Acton]

But they only signed him few days ago??? I’m sure I heard that on sky

[davieqpr]

They signed him for an agreed fee at the end of a loan deal. Stoke have a much larger FFP allowance because of parachute payments and allowance for each season in the Prem.

[SpongeParr]

FFP is based over 3 years, not just 1 year like when we got done. So Stoke can spent £100mil this year, £100 next year and then make £200 3rd year and they pass it. Thats a simplistic way to look at it, as you get certain loses that are okay.

Wolves done well. Signed him, sold him 2 days later and made 2million out of it.

3 year rule..

Villa and Derby are screwed this year, so watch this space. Villa will have to sell massively, or in short wont be spending again.

They will get a few bob for Grealish. Always thought he was a bit of a knob but he played well against the fools both times.

You are absolutely right,he is a knob

[acricketer]

Villa situation looking a little more serious by the day.

[Buffalo]

Villa are in deep doodoo. Not just FFP but also reportedly an unpaid 4.2m pound tax bill. HMRC has apparently threatened them with a winding up order.

They apparently cashed in future transfer revenue due on Jordan Amavi from Marseille and Carlos Sanchez from Fiorentina in exchange for immediate money to help their cash flow. That was back in February so obviously something not right for some time now.

Their CEO has just benn suspended for something unrelated and they are apparently now working with Trevor Birch, an insolvency expert.

Add to that recent chinese laws that that restrict their owner from investing his money in overseas businesses and you have a whole mess of trouble.
