I've noticed a few times recently that discussions of FFP have cropped up in other threads, so I thought it might be good to have a separate thread just for this. People seem keen to point fingers at other clubs and suggest that there's no way they can pass FFP (Derby) or that they haven't been punished sufficiently for breaches (QPR).
On the subject of Derby (or any other big spending team), none of us know what their financial position is or how it might have changed compared to last season. Also, the FFP have been relaxed slightly this year and allow a bigger loss than previously. I don't really understand how people can claim that a team is breaking the rules when they don't have any other the knowledge required.
Does anyone know what's happening with QPR? The most recent news article I can find (here) says that they expect to be fined £8m, but I can't find anything to say that the decision has been finalised. It also doesn't mention a transfer embargo, which seems strange to me. To be honest, I find the whole situation a bit of a mystery, if anyone could enlighten me about what's happening and what might happen I'd be very grateful. (Facts and informed opinion rather than idle speculation, please.)
