    I think the season before it was reported they were losing £250 grand per week....so that's an increase of nearly £30 grand per week!
    I absolutely despair with ffp.

    Its a joke. We must be only club that sticks to ffp. Bolton dont pay their players and nothing is done. Football must be the most crooked boys own club ever. FA are totally powerless

    I vaguely recall the first FFP rules were shelved and the alternative massively softened so in the championship you can lose vast amounts through "loans and gifts" as long as its not £39m over 3 years (though you can incur all that loss in one single year).

    Its woeful, it really is. Til a club, or clubs go bust, nothing will change.

    It’s disgusting that we almost went out of buisness for a minuscule of what some of the clubs debts are,
    As much as anything it wasn’t squandered but spent on ground improvements and just maintaining a decent not overly paid squad .
    FA make me sick when they quite clearly bending rules for some and kicking others

    I thought it was because the board of directors panicked, started penny pinching and didn't re- sign Ashley Ward from Bradford City and get Craig Hignett back on loan from Blackburn Rovers.
