That will mean they can only bring in loans and free transfers under £10k per week which does not get you much even in the Championship. I predict a tough season on the pitch and potentially relegation. FFP gets even stricter in League 1.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487486960623783530.post-22985216265155494282015-05-27T22:01:19.016+02:002015-05-27T22:01:19.016+02:00http://swissramble.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Sco...http://swissramble.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/ScotlandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487486960623783530.post-1536029501731596672015-05-27T21:45:48.969+02:002015-05-27T21:45:48.969+02:00Fantastic article shared on tsfm.scot.

Thank you for such an interesting article. As a fan of a Scottish club (some of which have seen the folly of high wages on washed up players) it'd be great to your perspective in future articles of the Celtics, Hearts and (new) Rangers of this world.

QPR is a really terrifying example of what can happen to clubs, especially the fact that they are borrowing significant money against their stadium. What would have been a better spend, £250 million on transfers and wages, or £250 million towards a new 40,000 stadium? Insane. Set of accounts that makes me v pleased Daniel Levy is running my club.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
