For what it's worth I went throuh the players who have gone (sold, loaned and contracts terminated) with best guess estimates of weekly wages.I reckon we have already cut our wage bill by around £17m net between last season and this. Players such as Cesar, who surely won't be here beyond January; Zamora, SWP and others are out of contract in the Summer. There's another 15 million saving there, although players not being offered new contracts would need to be replaced, hopefully paying considerably less. |  |

No real idea who this guy Ed Thompson is at financialfairplay.co.uk but one assumes he must have done a fair amount of research to put his head above the parapet.
I emailed him specifically about 'our 1st season in the Championship' scenario and got this reply;
Steve,
Thanks for the email.
When I first read the rules I initially thought the same. However you need to read them very carefully to see that in reality the first season in the championship is counted against the FFP test.
The confusion relates to the introduction of the rules and to the requirement to lodge accounts with the FL every December. Any newly relegated club doesn't have to hand in their accounts by 1 Dec (I.e those accoints that relate to their final season in the PL). This is the exemption.
However all accounts relating a footballing season in the Championship needs to be submitted (by Dec after season finishes)
So in summary, Nick Harris is right in that QPR need to keep to FFP limits this season or face sanction. Whatever the numbers are for QPR, they are likely to miss the targets this season and either pay Fair Play Tax (if promoted), or have embargo take effect 1Jan 2015 if stay down.
Hope that makes sense
Ed
FFP may be a lot more straight forward than it seems, in which case the club is facing a big problem. Whether TF can conjure up say 30-40 mill in a one season sponsorship deal to head off the fines, remains to be seen. |
"Whatever the numbers are for QPR, they are likely to miss the targets this season"
That's a big assumption, given 12/13 not published yet and we're not halfway through the season it applies to!
Add in all the uncertainty and exclusions mentioned above and you have a "non immediate problem" as the Americans might say! |  | | |
