We're so far from the level required for Europe that it might be time to take the 1 year ban and break FFP.
Do you agree?

Squad being reduced to 2 players would probably help. Feel everyone else just gets in the way of Digne & RicharlisonAnd when we break the rules by just one pound:
2 players- siggy and GomesAnd when we break the rules by just one pound:
Sigh.
It wont just be a ban, it would be a fine, a squad reduction and we would be required to break even by the next window or they will violate us properly.
If it was just a case of taking the ban for a year why don't other clubs just ignore it?
City are more minted.. And are after gettin a 2 year ban from Europethey’re not all minted?
In all seriousness, clubs like Leicester and Sheffield United have shown you don't need to break financial fair play, you just need players with desire and something to prove who will listen to a good manager. We keep signing physically and mentally weak players who have no passion or desire to put their body on the line for the club (Richarlison and Digne excepted).
