talksport this morning

[Collymore]

Alan Brazil reported that QPR were in financial fair play trouble and he said something along the lines of "I'm sure they'll be other clubs too" at this point Ray Parlour started shouting "Leicester" and Brazil said "Yes, like Leicester"

Is this founded or is it just another example of how out of touch the media are with "money bags leicester"?

This is a national station FFS!

[Guest Bilo]

QPR spend money - They're really going for it with some canny purchases. 'arry is a great dealer in the transfer market.

Leicester spend no money - OMFG LEICESTER ARE BUYING THE LEAGUE!! DEMOTE THEM TO THE EVERARDS LEAGUE AND SACK EVERYBODY IN LEICESTER IMMEDIATELY. FFP MUST BE OBEYED, UNLESS YOU'RE 'ARRY! #bigspendingleicester

[Corky]

Didn't the owners or Susan Whelan say that Nige had worked really hard to comply with FFP? Pearson goes on about it a lot and the restrictions so he's aware.

 

They are probably talking crap, normal for Brazil however who knows next to bugger all.

[Kitchandro]

Why people waste their time with talksport I have no idea. Life's too short to get angry at talksport.

True, but it's like hearing someone dising your family! It's natural to be annoyed I think.

They said it with such confidence I was questioning if something had come out in the press about us today. Obviously not!

[Master Fox]

Ray Parlour is one of the thickest people on the planet. He's so fvcking dumb it's hard to believe he's actually human. His grasp of numeracy is probably not greater than an urchin.

[Buzzell]

I heard this earlier. Who knows why Leicester was mentioned.

Normally I'd suggest they did it so that people would text/call/tweet or whatever in outrage, however this seems like they're just flat out ignorant.

[johnny the fox]

parlour is a classic case of excessive ball heading..

[Freesolo]

So let me get this right they are saying that QPR & Leicester have overspent in the summer transfer window and are putting the club in danger of going bankrupt?

[Raw Dykes]

I can see why people say that. They might have followed our spending while Sven was manager years ago, then slipped into a coma soon after.

[Guest MattP]

Met and drank with Brazil a few times and he's a nice bloke but the booze has completely sozzled his brain, just talks complete utter bollocks now non stop.

[Bamba's Babes]

Talksport is SO bad!

[lcfc278]

Ray Parlour is a dumbass, god knows how/why he is on there so much. Doesn't know what's going on half the time

[Leicester Lass]

Susan Whelan guaranteed on more than one occasion last season that we would be FFP compliant. I think she's probably a bit closer to the finances of the club than Ray Parlour.

[Dan]

Further proof we're a nation of headline readers. How we still have that tag I really don't know.

[KFS]

Yet again, why are people listening to that arse?

[sylofox]

Even IF we did not make it I do not think we will be that far over the limit so a small fine.

QPR could be looking at 50m we will be way short of that.

I would also bet there are a few teams between us and QPR.

[sylofox]

You know if we are under it the sheep n the trees will claim we have cheated lol lol

[separator]

Can't imagine the Romford Pele being all that clued up of FFP myself. 

[Tielemans63]

'Pundits don't have a ****ing clue about any team outside of the top 6 shocker'

[Bayfox]

qpr allegedly lost 40 million last season. which allowing for the parachute payment is a hell of a lot and are facing a pound for pound fine. if and only if they get relegated.

we however under pearson did everything we could last year to meet ffp.

huge difference.

but as market leaders we best home sean isn't sat on any panel deciding

[katieakita]

Brazil is a reason for not drinking alcohol and i bet our finances are a lot better than Ray Parlour but probably not as good as the ex Mrs Parlour

[jimmeh]

Danns st ledger Gallagher = 250 grand a month.

[Captain...]

They haven't released the figures from last season yet, all of this speculation is based on applying last season's accounts, the figures from the season before put us as high spenders and no where near FFP compliant. The same as QPR, we are speculating about QPR as much as Talksport is speculating about us.

 

The reason why there is more speculation around QPR at the moment and they are the focus is probably that someone somewhere knows they will be hit with a heavy fine and has tipped off the press, but they can't say that so they say based on last released set of accounts QPR would be in line for a heavy fine and so would Leicester.

 

No need to get worked up about it, we know we have done a lot of work getting inside FFP, others won't follow us as closely that is natural, but really we have no clue what our finances look like and we could be in line for a fine, hopefully not the size of QPR's fine, so let the speculate and just hope that they are wrong.
