So we are fecked in a nutshell
We are in trouble, we are clearly in a worse situation than many of our competitions at the moment and it's going to be a struggle to turn it round.So we are fecked in a nutshell

Can you be a bit more to the point? Finding it a bit difficult to read between the lines here.
I didn't really mean on the pitch although clearly that's a reflection.Tbf, we have only played one game. A win on Saturday and things look different.
Woah there jackie lad.Please try to understand this. I'm a little tired of having to explain this repeatedly to people.
We are not going to qualify for Europe so let's just ignore that for the minute shall we. I was also referring to a post the Exile made about points deduction in the Premier League, which you rightly recognise is completely different....so on to that one.
As you quite clearly state in the quote..... the key word is could. As things stand THERE ARE NO PENALTIES. The clubs were supposed to sit down last year and agree what exactly would be those 'severe penalties' and what 'points deductions' would apply for breaking FFP by a little and a lot... a sliding scale of points deduction depending on the offence and where to draw the line for them.
I want to be absolutely clear about this because you and a lot of others continue to get this wrong.
To date they have not done this. Consequently there are actually no penalties. Nor are they going to sit down anytime soon and decide it? Highly unlikely with the big uplift in TV money coming at the end of this season. They certainly have not done anything about this season. When/If they do they will not be able to apply them retrospectively.
Do you understand that?
What are we left with?
This - There are no penalties for breaking Premier League FFP. Once again.... THIS IS A FACT.
Woah there jackie lad.
Two points. 1. The rules of ffp, uefa and prem, are known. Retrospective punishments will likely be enforced as they even stipulated the seasons that the rules apply. 2. If we broke ffp i would hope its with the express aim of qualifying for europe. Otherwise, what the fuck is the point?
Yes there are. Uefa have their penalties. See point 2. If we did splash out the cash but had no intention of qualifying for europe, then what the fuck is the point?They cannot apply things retrospectively when they have not made clear the criteria of penalty. It simply won't work and they won't agree it themselves. Turkeys don't vote for Christmas. And given the uplift in TV money at the end of this year it is inconceivable that they will apply that outdated financial model.
Anyway... the upshot remains.
There are no penalties.
Absolutely wrong.
There are no penalties for breaking FFP. The entire league has yet to sit down and agree any. That's a fact and there's no arguing this.
This season has started and there cannot be any retrospective penalties. They obviously won't agree anything for next season because every club will want to spend the shed load of money we're all going to get.
I'll say it again, just to be absolutely clear.
THERE ARE NO PENALTIES FOR BREAKING FFP
Yes there are. Uefa have their penalties. See point 2. If we did splash out the cash but had no intention of qualifying for europe, then what the fuck is the point?
Watch how fast it gets sorted if one of the also-rans starts to spend big.
There are. Uefa penalties.We need to survive first.
Quit talking about Europe we're a mile away from that. We need to break Premier League FFP rules. These are the ones the club and the Echo keep talking about not European one.
It's bullshit. There are no penalties. FACT.
I think I read somewhere that Karen Brady offers the gentlemen favours also - maybe they get to watch what they like on telly, for instance.That makes really interesting reading. Just a Curly Wurly and a box of Tic Tacs. I was sure there was a bag of Quavers involved somewhere.
There are. Uefa penalties.
They are thoughYes there are but....
WTF UEFA penalties could they possibly apply to us. A transfer ban??? I'd take that if we had a squad that made the top six and broke it. Utterly ludicrous claiming this is stopping us purchasing players to save us from another relegation battle. Listen to yourself.
Also get into your head that the Echo and the Club are never talking about this when they talk about it.
They are though
I disagreeNo they are not.
You are wrong. Short, the Echo and the Club are all talking about Premier League FFP.
