You'd have to start looking into points deductions, stopping transfers and the like to really hit a club that has been promoted and have the resources to cope with fines. Your points deduction idea would be a good one if the PL & EFL could agree it. For promoted clubs who break the rules by going over the FFP loss limit, how about a 1 point deduction for every £5 million over the limit? Apparently, Bournemouth failed FFP by £38 million-plus in 2014/15. Under my proposal, they would have started the 2015/16 PL season on minus 8 points (they finished 16th with 42 points, but the deduction would have put them on 34 and relegated in 18th place instead of Newcastle). A rule like this would certainly make smaller clubs with a rich "sugar daddy" (like Bournemouth, Wigan) think twice about flouting the FFP rules.

There's a quota, every team is supposed to feature X times minimum. The newly promoted sides often get their games at the start of the year while the hype and curiosity is still high. There's a few Cardiff games on early doors there as well and a couple of Fulham. Edited 6 July 2018 by Finnegan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually as you say a few at the start and then some towards the end of the season when most likely teams are in relegation battle (or a title run-in ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see both of the Welsh clubs in the Premier League, ideally, it's good for football in the country. But if I was anything I'd be a closet Jack, I was born in Carmarthen in West Wales and lived / went to school in a village near Port Talbot. They're two towns either side of Swansea and if I'd never moved to Leicester I guess they'd be my local team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad biker Posted 6 July 2018 Share Posted 6 July 2018 (edited) Funny that, my views are totally opposite, would like both the Welsh clubs kicking out of the ENGLISH leagues, we don`t have the Scots or the Irish clubs, the fans really wind me up with the anti English chants, if England is "full of shit" sod off and play in the league of Wales, enjoy your games against Total Network Solutions and the like !!

st albans fox Posted 9 July 2018 Share Posted 9 July 2018 The much maligned and less than reliable indikalia tweets that NG wants out of Chelsea. Before the tournament began, Matt law wrote that NG was fully committed to Chelsea. This got me thinking .....: two years ago, NG went to the euros and the club were convinced he was staying. Whilst in France things changed and once conte got hold of him, fac to face, he was convinced to go immediately ....... maybe chelsea will be the victims of the current sojourn of NG amongst the French squad ....... I assume PSG although wouldn’t surprise you if real or Barca havent decided to take a punt on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 9 July 2018 Share Posted 9 July 2018 1 hour ago, davieG said: Wilshere signs for WHU 3 year contract West Ham IMO making quite similar signings to last season when they signed experienced players (Zabaleta, Hart, Arnautovic, Chicharito). Didn't work out too well for them last season though. Their biggest signing is surely their manager as Pellegrini is a good coach. I hope he doesn't do too well because West Ham and Everton are probably the most likely teams to be fighting it out with us for 7th spot in terms of financials. Burnley of course got it last season, but I think with European football this season they won't have the same level of consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult one - if Kasper was 1/2 years older then it would make sense. Shame as Gunn will be the next best thing in terms of GKs IMO, £15m is a steal.

I have been a critic of Kasper's - last season I thought he was constantly below his standard - but I guess you're probably right. Gunn will get games at Southampton. I imagine Forster may be the one that goes as McCarthy was number one for large parts of the season. I never personally rated Forster as high as other English goalkeepers.
