    This season. Is administration or deductions inevitable? Or does FFP not count in League One?

    Forest have basically proved FFP is a waste of time just spend and except whatever meagre points penalty you get. City will be the same they’ll get some transfer ban or whatever and still have dozens of trophies in the cabinet

    Is football a sport or a business?.. if it's a sport it should be regulated so no one lives above their means..
    If it's a business then free enterprise should be in play and owners should be able to spend whatever they like.

    Neither…. It’s a billionaires play thing. Trouble is, when they move on to their next toy, the club becomes unviable.

    FFP doesn't apply in League One. There is SCMP, but that allows owners to invest unlimited amounts as long as they do it as equity rather than debt. This is why our owners are able to support the club in the way they have.
