Are FFP rules hampering us?

[CG Blade]

Everyone is calling out for new players which we obviously need, but are the FFP rules hampering us. We had until recently 28 players now down slightly, and it seems to be one player in, one out. That might be why we don't seem over active in the transfer market, simply we cannot sign anyone until someone goes. Our position in the league doesn't help, players don't want to drop to a dogfight in league 1. If the rumour that Sammon has turned us down is true, and that is the reason.

I think five years of selling our best players and signing mediocrity is hampering us, Brentford and Orient seem to be doing all right under FFP.

No, because if the Prince wanted to he could rename the SouthStand to be his paper company and sponsor if for 2 million. We just have players who are not strong enough to play for us. Everyone wants to beat us in this division and they can't handle it.

Agree with HG. Smaller clubs with new investment seem to be getting around it somehow. Probably because it's not that difficult to do so if you have backing.

I'm concerned that FFP seems to be a convenient way of talking about "game changing" investment without actually putting any forward.

That post just about sums the lot up.
