StrandedNamelessYorkshireRoyal99 Yeah there probably isn't loads of wriggle room but I don't think it's worth the conversation starter of potentially breaking any rules that have been set against us, especially when the club have said that we are on forecast at the moment. If we begin to hear any differently then yes fair enough.
Of course it’s worth remembering we still have a suspended penalty hanging over us !
The question was are we free ofrestrictions come the end of the season and the answer is we have no real idea.
I have always said it would need a deliberate decision to not hit the business plan and for the EFL to be complicit in that and I think we will be ok.
However we may find that we remain under some kind of monitoring,and depending how close we are to FFP limits we may find we still have some limits on transfers (I could see us needing to get clearance for spending any transfer fee, but not having specific limits)
We may have limits as you say but that would probably be unprecedented in that we agreed a penalty and seem to be abiding by it - so once out we should be able to trade under the same terms as other clubs i.e. minimise loses to the 39m over 3 years but knowing full well that if we so much as go a pound over we will get the full 12pts thrown at us.
I think it would be perfectly reasonable for us to continue being monitored. The league shouldn’t let clubs get into the situation we were in and they have changed the way FFP is reported I believe. I would much rather we had some restrictions which meant we were run sensibly than we were back in trouble in 2-3 years.
