Financial Fair Play investigation

That's not a specific charge, that's a general allegation.

Actually you're both wrong; 3.4 is the power to refer to a commission. [ though it's implicit there is a substantive allegation]

we will get similar to reading I reckon a suspended points deduction to begin with and if there any future breaches then an actual points deduction
Did reading got 6 points a while back with another 6 points suspended in case of new breach of ffp? We do not want any points deduction.

They were given a 'business plan' to follow by the EFL, essentially a budget limit and they broke it.
 
I dont think you're right there mate. What 3 years are you using?

And going into a commission what does the club have to gain from stating EFC are "compliant with all of the Premier League's financial rules and regulations"?

There's been some agreement with the PL on what they can claim in terms of deductions. And it's up to the PL to determine what it allows for deductions and by reasonably how much.

You, me and no one else are privvy to those discussions they club had with the PL, but they will emerge in any commission.
The last 3 years.

19/20 139.9m lost
20/21 121.3m lost
21/22 44.7m lost

286 million lost in 3 years. The limit is 105. COVID and whatever nonsense you suggested doesn't come near to touching that figure.

Reading initially got accused in 2021 of Breaching limits. Their adjusted losses were £57-58m to 2021 set against a limit of £39m so yes they breached it.

The standard tariff thst the League push for is 12 points for adjusted 3 year overspend of £15m or above as well as a Business Plan to assist with future compliance. This lasts for 2 seasons.

Maybe Reading were really cooperative, maybe it was as it was post Covid maybe a mix of both but the Agreed Decision was 6 points initially and 6 points if the Business Plan failed any time up to 30th June 2023.

This was about a failure to gain an adequate profit on disposal of players probably in this season. All inbound deals also had to be signed off by the EFL, the usual no fees, no loan fees, remuneration limits etc.

There could be more to come, the 3 year limit to 2023 is still to be determined at the end of June- but ant further sanctions would relate to next season. They have made good strides however from the 2021 low point.

When it was confirmed Reading had fallen foul in 2021 a full embargo came into force, dunno whether it's an automatic thing.

In return the club get the prior 2 years losses reset to £13m.

E.g. Club loses in FFP terms £10m in prior year and £20m before that. After a guilty verdict it remains £10m and £20m becomes £13m...club can in theory lose £16m the next year but if no promotion that's down to £10m the year after.
 

Isn't our great friend kia joorabchian involved with reading
Certainly is. A friend of the owner I have been told and also a friend of that Marina exec at Chelsea whose surname I can't spell without checking. Which has assisted them in respect of loans such as Rahman, Drinkwater and that Chelsea midfielder this year at a massive discount or for free. Reading fan I know says he's seen Kia in their Directors Box a free times.

Bristol City eh?

If I told you Tom Ritchie was our postman for years, and I shared a joint with Alan Walsh at a party, would you believe me?
Oh friend of the stars you! These were before my time, but I'm open minded. I actually work with an Everton fan who lives down here, Everton seem a pretty decent club in many ways.

To be fair you combine the £139.9m and 121.3m ie add them then hence so about £130.2m

Then yes £44.7m and add the £111.8m from 2018-19...still comes to about £286m as the starting point.
