Financial Fair Play

[Rammy]

It's much better than I thought. I thought we'd be just within the limits, even with our season ticket sales and ridiculously long list of sponsors and partners.

Given our transfers are paid over a number of years, I'm now pretty confident what the club have been saying about us passing next year will be true. Limit goes up to £13m next year remember.

QPR with some scary figures, albeit it last year.

Loss of £45.7m
Debt £217m
Wage bill £72.9m

Obviously they have got rid of a lot of players and I am led to believe 180 million of that debt has been paid off since too.

Perhaps my perception only and by all means put me right, but I didn't think Derby pushed the envelope particularly last season? Whilst likely one of the better budgets in general of course, it didn't seem that they started going crazy at least until January? Of course this season has been a different matter.

Interesting how the overall loss and FFP relevant loss are quite different, more so than others figures, wonder what that's all about. But it goes to show that with some clever accounting and some good commercial activities (official bog roll suppliers etc) you can get out of jail!

For comparison, and I don't know how accurate it can be, but this article puts our PL wage bill this season at £25m. Never did publicly hear a final FFP decision / sanction regarding AFCB, unless they're still haggling which is possible.

They would have had PL income as well propping up that wage bill as well, while this season they won't (though they have gotten rid of a huge amount of that wage bill).

Because we spent around £4m on the academy/training ground. That doesn't come under FFP.

Or according to this local news tour of the place, £8m!
