It's not over 3 seasons.
But it's just that kind of 'how the fuck will this work' problem of application that has meant it hasn't been done. With the money coming end of this season you can guarantee that the levels first mooted will be greater than in current FFP, so we won't be breaking them.
Equally if the choice in any future was to be relegated or stay up with a 3 point subduction well that's a no brainer.
Any way you look at it, it can't work.
I wasn't trying to say that it was calculated over 3 seasons but I understand your confusion. What I was simply trying to say without going into detail was that any decisions we make now ie to overspend on the wage bill will not just be a problem for this season but would potentially cause us problems for the length of the contract. We could receive point reductions this year, or possibly this year, next year, and the year after if we significantly broke the salary cap. My point was that although it may be that this year penalties may not apply, any gamble we took now might also bite us in the arse in the future.
