So the FA regulation you posted is of no consequence and your original point that the club loaning the player wouldn't have their wages reflected in their total is surely wrong? As the FL calculation removes the wages of the loan player from the total wage bill of the loaning club for the purposes of the FFP calculation.

You really are missing the point

When FL clubs and the league management calculate FFP allowances are made in respect of sums paid out and received in respect of players on loan. That has nothing to do with who pays the player.

Think it through. Everton didn't pay all of Gareth Barrys wages when he was on loan. If by going on loan he became an Everton employee hwo and who paid the balance of his wages?

Everton pied off a fair few of the higher earners at the club, made money in transfers and had an increase in TV money. Think we'll be okay for FFP to be honest.

The paying off high wage earners may help but income from transfers and the increased TV money cant be used.

It won't be done for at least a week IMO. He's not even back from his hols yet!

Would be the height of irony if we fall foul of FFP - we haven't had a net spend in years for Christ sake.

Might want to play that safe and change "won't" to "shouldn't".

You know, Elstone and that.
