Chris Weatherspoon's analysis was no more than speculation. Grumpy had an analysis which suggested we are closer to the limits of FFP. I guess you decide who's speculative analysis you choose to believe. However, to suggest that FFP doesn't affect every club's spending plans is firmly putting your head in the sand. As has been said many times clubs with parachute payments or clubs who have sold players for big fees will always be the big spenders in the EFL rather than the richest owners. Our crowds will help, but only to a limited extent.
Wonder how Ipswich are fairing with FFP they seem to sign loads
 
I'm mindful of the word agenda as it has connotations. But there's no doubt that his articles serve his viewpoint. Otherwise he wouldn't be including headline grabbing statements like 'SAFC could lose £30m+ in 22/23 without breaching FFP' which is able to rev up the fanbase as it is completely shorn of context and any semblance of sensible governance. We could do that, of course, but we'd then be placing ourselves squarely in the crosshairs of the EFL if we failed - as that sort of behaviour would inevitably lead to a firesale in 23/24 if we missed out on promotion.

I think it was definitely an agenda in the Donald days. Don’t think there is one now exactly, but the style is similar still.

I would believe Chris

They will be well aware of what their expenditure is compared to the FFP restrictions. There are many clubs now who have been docked points and relegated due to FFP rules such as Reading and Derby. To say that suggesting that FFP doesn't guide spending plans is a false narrative is, itself, false. I am now expert but people are saying that FFP demands 3 year plans or that it is judged over a three year period. Sunderland, like, no doubt, Ipswich will have projections of revenue for the next three years and a three year plan for transfer and wage spending.
