Bolton are pretty screwed aren't they. Going to be very hard for them to recruit any decent players following the strike - will likely end up with a few freebies who have no other options.

Not quite a $42m fine, which would have been better. Basically its a $17m fine and the shareholders write off $22m owed to them. Am I right in thinking the fine is then dished out to the clubs that suffered a a result of the FFP breach? If so, wouldn't there be a case for those clubs to claim the $22m should benefit them as well?
Think QPR have got away lightly with this. The shareholders will find a way to recoup that $22m somehow.

Fine to be paid over 10 years.
So break the rules, and 15 years later you can finish paying your punishment. Why not speculate to accumulate? £1.7m a year is pittance if you get to the PL.

Snowflake Royal The problem is, the only people who suffer for any real penalty is the fans.
The owners responsible can just sell on, they've usually achieved their goal of washing money anyway. The players get paid regardless and have likely moved on. Short of kicking a team out the league - only the fans lose - what are they going to do.
There's no appetite to grow a pair and accept that half a dozen sets of fans are going to have to suffer to clean up the game for the good of all.

Funny that in non league they can get quite draconian at times and the punishments stick. As soon as it’s the FL/PL it all seems to get very limp and wishy washy and inconsistent.

In non-league you have a max of about 5-10k fans interested. In the FL more like 20-100k. PL is millions in some cases.
Noone notices if Histon disappear except the few Histon fans. Lots of people get upset if Leeds get the boot.

Can understand them allowing Pedersen to be registered but if this was a breach, surely it should have come at a cost, say a couple of points deducted or similar.

I genuinely think that "but what about the fans" is the single worst argument in all of this.
Be draconian, teach the fans to actually think about the ownership etc of the club
