Anyone have an idea of our total net spend on players so far? not including Taylor's supposed money. Also where do we stand with spending all this on players and buying the stadium with FFP?

Haven't a clue what we've spent but if we break ffp you can be sure the FL will throw the book at us and give us a points deduction just like they did with QPR. oh wait

Dont think that buying ER is included in expenditures but it reduces our costs be 1.7 mil. He does seem to be spending well but not an idiot so i assume he has a plan otherwise he would hit the loan market. can't see him letting us fail.

Think owners used to be able to contribute 8 mil but not sure if its changed. Maybe a few going the other way. I can't see us keeping hold of all those midfielders and reckon one of antonson, erwin or douks may go.

You can lose £39m over 3 years, starting from 16/17 season. We won't know what the finances for 16/17 will be until about March, but we should be well inside ffp. We also only had 55% of wages to turnover, by far the lowest in the league.

If memory serves regarding FFP it excludes facilities (otherwise every club that built a stadium would fail for about 10 seasons) . Its calculated over a 3 year period and you can make a loss of I think it was £15m (could have gone up, that was a couple of seasons back) with the owner able to inject £15m, so £30m for all intents and purposes. You can go over as long as you go up because then you get the promotion payout which some teams do, think a couple of teams are on the verge if they don't go up this season. We made a £9m loss season before last and that's expected to have gone down significantly for last season (£5m of that was kit provider change and lawsuits) that could give us £15/£16m to play around with, though we have probably gone through about £10m of that already.
