On the white and Jordan show (talk sport) they said Bristol city have indicated that they wont be able to meet ffp rules and upto 6 other championship clubs possibly to have points deduction next season for ffp violations unfortunately didn't mention other clubs that also may
be involved...

Will be interesting to see who the other clubs are.

You suspect they knew what would happen if they didn't do anything and gambled with morison and youngsters a gamble that is paying off now..

Maybe if we can remain stable and everyone gets points deductions we can go up by default !!

I wont be surprised if Cardiff is one of the teams. And if it is then we will be a huge trouble next season. With lack of transfer money and basically lack of clarity from the Cardiff board altogether about how the future looks for the club in terms of transfers because if we cant buy players or keep the out of contracted players then our team will be thin. And with a tough season with big teams dropping into this league like Burnley. I am afraid the relegation fight will continue next season.

All depends on what the future holds for this club and what is Tan's plans going forwards.

Wez our cost cutting will come into effect next season accounts .... unless tan goes mad and spends lots of money so that will help ffp..... also debt to equity recently will help balance books so think we'll be within ffp rules.... also efl have brought out new rules regarding players wages being late and introducing sanctions if rules broken. Ranging from transfer ban to points deduction

As far as FFP it might be paying off but it nearly came at a cost of relegation.

True. But holds a brighter future. I believe in the coming years a lot of of other clubs fans will be envious of how well our club is run behind the scenes.

But with points deductions you run that risk anyway.

Yes it nearly did cost us relegation... but next season if had points deduction that could have cost us relegation or certainly been big disadvantage.... musnt forget ffp is over several seasons so by starting now it will hopefully stand club in good position going forward
whilst other clubs are looking over their shoulder trying to stay within ffp in couple of seasons time

Squad will need strengthening next season , can’t keep starting seasons in the bottom half and then changing managers, as eventually we might end up relegated at this rate

Definitely needs strengthening but we are in perfect position of replacing the 8 or 9 players on high wages and
Less speed with younger better on the ball and pacier players throw in couple of experienced players got a perfect combination to be successful.... as for manager did see rumour had one ready ( but no mention of who) but not morison but that of course can change.

Chris we are definitely not one of them but going to be a massive shift of power in championship just like premier league! Said it last season clubs who get to premier league are not busting a gut to stay there but keeping their squads when relegated .... this means parachute payments are starting to distort championship.... past 2seasons relegated clubs have been vying or 2 have been promoted
Never happened before and situation is going to get worse due to salary cap and covid effects luckily we are in great situation
of getting rid of expensive dead wood next season and starting fresh other clubs dont have that luxury. But think we will end up with two tier system like premier league the haves and have nots within the championship ...

Why on Earth do you think we’re at risk? We’ve spent frugally and our expenditure for transfers isn’t too much more than our income in recent seasons. Our wage bill as well contains several loan players and youth players, more so than most clubs I would imagine.

Re: Points deduction "interesting "

Sat Feb 19, 2022 12:24 pm

Wonder who the others are ?
Big spenders who’ve not been promoted I guess..

Forest probably
Birmingham City almost certainly
Stoke also I reckon
Middlesbrough?
Preston ( Ridsdale) ?
Coventry ?




QPR, & Blackburn have had some serious transfer money which had helped them, Millwall, Blackpool, Luton, Peterborough, Hull, Barnsley seem to have kept wage bills down..

Us, Swansea, Hudds, Sheff U, Bournemouth, Fulham, WBA all had parachute money recently…

Reading & Derby already been done
