eye666 Posted 19 July 2013 Share Posted 19 July 2013 Nah, the next step will be for the formation of King Power FC who subsequently buy Neil Danns for £100m (aka the Champ Man cheat). Don't know why they haven't thought of this yet... Watford clearly not concerned with FFP given their owners other clubs and the ability that has to get around the rules! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23374082 Time to buy in some Thai Superstars!

gazza37 Posted 19 July 2013 Share Posted 19 July 2013 Can someone please explain to me how Watford can buy 7 players whilst in a transfer embargo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 19 July 2013 Share Posted 19 July 2013 Can someone please explain to me how Watford can buy 7 players whilst in a transfer embargo? As far as I know, the transfer embargo means that all transfers conducted by Watford have to be ratified by the Football League first. So it's all kosher there.

Super_horns Posted 19 July 2013 Share Posted 19 July 2013 Can someone please explain to me how Watford can buy 7 players whilst in a transfer embargo? We NEVER were... Did you read the Mail/Sun as they gave out misleading information (surprised?) We only had to get league approval to sign players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted 19 July 2013 Share Posted 19 July 2013 I dont know why Thai Army United dont just buy St Ledger and Danns for 10 million each and then release them after a week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wurmer Posted 19 July 2013 Share Posted 19 July 2013 FFP is going to kill non Premier League football. I understand what it's trying to achieve, but my life, is it making for a boring off-season for the majority of the Championship teams... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFS Posted 19 July 2013 Share Posted 19 July 2013 I dont know why Thai Army United dont just buy St Ledger and Danns for 10 million each and then release them after a week or two.Don't know how seriously you meant this but if Danns and St Ledger really didn't want to be here this could be a genuine method of getting rid of players and indeed signing them. I wonder what the transfer window period is over there? All works on player mutual consent though of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooseBreath Posted 19 July 2013 Share Posted 19 July 2013 The trouble with anything like that is that it'll only work for a maximum of one season before they closed the loophole. There's an awful lot of money in football, clubs no doubt employ high quality experts in law and finance, the fact that no club other than Watford are exploiting any obvious loopholes would suggest to me that FFP is fairly tightly sealed.

So shirt deals, sponsorship of training grounds, renaming football grounds etc are'nt loopholes? FFP will be challenged in the courts before long when it is realised newcomers cannot come in and invest heavily to get success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFP will be challenged in the courts before long when it is realised newcomers cannot come in and invest heavily to get success The clubs accounts will be audited every year and any profit that seems exagerrated wil be reduced to reasonable level. So in theory we couldn't announce a new shirt sponsorship with King Power for ££££'s and get away with it. FFP is a good idea in principle but it will never work, it's too complicated. The current rulings will cause as many issues as they do solve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't wok anyway, out owners don't want to give us money - they want to Loan us money and get it back, so sponsorship route wouldn't be any good for us. No matter how rich they are, they're no sugar daddies, they're businessmen, I.e. we're no budding Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Claw II Posted 20 July 2013 Share Posted 20 July 2013 I can't really see sponsorship deals, naming rights etc. being challenged - proving that the deals were inflated is fraught with difficulty and I don't think UEFA will have the man-power to do this. Big clubs will find loopholes and exploit them. With the Gulf widening between the Prem and the Championship rich owners would struggle to compete with parachute payments anyway - £60m over 4 years is massive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
