ptt1 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Am I right in remembering that Bournemouth along with Leicester and Wolves have an ffp case hanging over them from the season they were promoted and the EFL haven’t been able to bring these charges as they have been outside of their jurisdiction. This is what happened to QPR when they were relegated back after their year in the Prem after our Wembley loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Didn’t they settle with a fine settlement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JfR Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 1 minute ago, Boycie said: Didn’t they settle with a fine settlement? £4.75m, originally £7.6m, but they managed to get it lowered Seeing as this is a club willing to chuck four times that amount at Dominic Solanke, I don't think they were too wounded by the punishment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptt1 Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 Apologies just checked and seen that they were fined £7.6m but reduced to £4.75m after two years of tough negotiation by the efl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Bournemouth were dealt with under the previous set of rules and sanctions. If Villa came down, they may have faced an investigation similar to Wednesday and ourselves did this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenBr Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 They might have settled previously, but the EFL is capricious and unpredictable, so perhaps they'll target Bournemouth for no reason like they do with everyone else. Leicester also paid a fine didnt they? As far as i aware there was no ffp case against Wolves. They bypassed it using other methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 There’s a lot of teams mentioned on this thread already. How many teams have actually got promoted without bending / breaking the rules. surely that means the rules aren’t fit for purpose, or aren’t being enforced properly. They’re basically setting a precedent that if you want to get promoted, you have to break the rules. And, similar to a lance Armstrong situation, it then becomes a competition of who can break the rules the most, and get out of the EFL’s durasdiction before they get caught.

Add the teams who have had embargoes and there aren't many teams left. Reading, Wednesday, Forest, Leeds, QPR and Birmingham have all had at least one embargo over the past 5 years. I'm sure there are others too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
