Kernow Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Forgive me if I'm talking nonsense and I'm not too clued up on the ins and outs of the FFP rules.I know a couple clubs are sponsored by owners, Forest, Ipswich etc. Does anybody know the rules of how much these sponsors could be? For example if Morris sponsored our shirts under the gaming company King, would he essentially be able to put his investment in as a sponsor and thus result as income on our accounts as opposed to outward expenditure.I presume there must be a limit of sponsorship money in this scenario regardless of how relaxed FFP is or will be.

StaffsRam Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 From memory, sponsorship would have to adhere to fair market value. Hence you couldn't just put £50m in and claim its sponsorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average amount in the division?Get GSE to put in a £49mil per year offer and have Morris top it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Don't know the specifics of how its calculated, but I'd imagine that it works in the same way that it does for Premier League sides under the UEFA rules. If it were easy then I'd imagine that Man City would have done it rather than get hit with sanctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 We are not Forest lets just stick to playing by the rules.Hence my question about how much the rules would allow us to be sponsored by our owner and thus subtract from FFP losses...

robglosta Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Couldn't you bribe two spurious sponsors to faux offer 100m, then 'go with' the third quote of 105m (which happens to be King)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramblur Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'm starting to wonder if Mel may have sponsored the training ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
