Surely a result of the investment (and lack of turnover) during the Championship seasons. In essence, done over for progressing too quickly into European football.

Yep... the FFP they will be basing the assessment on will cover the Championship when we finished 16th, the Championship winning season and year one in the Premier League.
Next year will be based on the Championship winning season, Year one in the Premier League with a run to the FA Cup semi final and 7th placed money plus this season with the Premier League cash and a run to the Europa qtr finals (minimum)... it’s a bit harsh to be punished for exceeding expectations

 

[Pablowolf]

This will be some random point that we've misinterpreted or fractured, not the main FFP overarching agreement. With employee benefits expenses specifically mentioned, I'dimagine it's something to do with that. You don't get "just" a £200-600k fine for breaching FFP.

Was the team's A list even as many as 23 players this season?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

You do with UEFA and a £57m loss in there. That’s what they meant about being a year ahead of schedule. It will make fuck all difference as our squad is pretty small and £600k is to Fosun like 2p is to me.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

For context Basaksehir have also got a fine. They pretty much came from nowhere to get into the Europa.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Does boil my piss though that City shit on the entire FFP rule book and walk away while we get punished for rising through the ranks a season too early!!

"Issue is if the £27m losses Wolves are restricted to this season impact on their spending/do players have to be sold?"

When did he rejoin the E&S?

Clickbaiting cockend

He’s talking total fucking shit. It’s £600k. Dear God. We made that by scoring last night.

 

[Boozad]

Thankfully I can't see that plank's Twitter.

 

[Pablowolf]

Does he even know how FFP works?

He should take the Oscillating Wildly FFP 101 class, like the rest of us did.

Has he blocked you?

I don't think it's an unreasonable question? We're restricted to a £27m loss this season, in a season in which income is vastly reduced. Being tight to your FFP limits, will automatically mean that you have to be more prudent, or raise more money, no?

No... we spend £100m on players, all 5 year contracts equals £20m plus wages.

That’s without selling anyone

[Del Woppio]

Well yes and no - amortisation will catch up with you though, if income doesn't rise alongside it. Cutrone balances itself out, fair enough, but we've only really sold Douglas, Cav and Costa (I think?) in the last two years.

The latter 3 brought in 33 million didn’t they?

Yeah, but if we say we've spent £200m in the PL era so far, divide that by a crude 4 years worth of amortisation, then that's £50m out per year, without us doing anything else. So the outgoings (including cutrone) broadly cover one year's worth, but that's it. And now we have to break even over the period 19-21, with reduced income, and potentially no European football next season.

We earnt £127m for being in the PL last year
