    The thing is with FFP in League 1 is that although clubs can only spend 60% of their turnover on player wages any money gifted to the club by their owners can be counted as turnover.

    Bristol City are the divisions genuinely 'big club' and wealthy too. I've always liked them myself since Norman Hunter turned out for them.

    It's just different in League 1. In the Championship the owner can prop up the club with cash injections up to a certain point in league 1 they can prop up the wage bill.

    Bristol is a very wealthy area, Bristol Rugby's playing budget is bigger than the rest of the RU Championship (excluding just relegated Worcester) put together - doesn't guarantee success tho ... they lost on the play-off final this season.
    Ground sharing with Bristol City from now on.... big plans for west country sport
    The Post today revealed that Bristol’s long-term future lies in a ground-share with Bristol City – with whom they share a common majority shareholder in Steve Lansdown.

    It does to the extent that it controls debt being put on the club. The money has to be given to the club by the owner, it can't be loaned.
