Read a post on twitter regarding our current transfer activity that made my think a bit. With a number of clubs under financial constraints with FFP, they have to sell before they can bring in players. Does that put Leeds in a strong position to pick players up for a reasonable price the closer they get to the window closing. Personally I think it is clutching at straws and we seem more bothered about the bottom line rather than having a competing squad, but it does provide food for thought ?

Apart from Forest, who will be in FTP doodoo AGAIN next season, the only other clubs with anything to spend seem to be the relegated ones and, to a much lesser extent, us. Sounds you could be onto something Notts :)

That is the point I have been making, the early bird does not always catch the best worm so to speak. There will be players from Championship clubs and the lower Premier league clubs becoming available to buy and also further down the line to loan that I think will serve our needs. And if other clubs have already spunked their budgets all the better. MOT

Good posts but we must nevertheless try harder to land the Uruguayan goal machine, Wilson and our back line needs reinforcing because be it a 3 or a 4 we look weak there. I've also come to conclusion FFP only affects West Yorkshire clubs whose name begins with L. When has anyone been truly punished for blatant infringements? Moment we do it though the rule book will come out.

Stafford So how come QPR are still trading? What would you do to a business who owed you £40m?

I have no idea George, I keep googling QPR FTP fine but the latest thing I saw, and it was a few months back, their appeal to some court had failed but they were trying a different one. Why they still have their "golden ticket" is beyond me.

Bournemouth were fined about £4.5 million - hardly a punishment if the risk brings the £120million premier TV deals is it? If someone siad they would give me £120 in return for a fiver i'd take it.

Fines for football clubs are usually like that, absolutely ridiculous. Should be point deductions, but that would have to be whenever the club gets relegated.
