For some reason I thought he'd sold up. Has he pulled his silly funding? Fernandes chucked in a bollock load of cash again after the previous turnips did so and left didn't he?
Fernandes, along with the other owners, wrote off £180m in loans in 2015, it's cost him a fortune already.
Tony Fernandez is in the news here, he is opening a partnership for an airline in Vietnam, I wonder whether this pending fine will have any effect on his business here.
QPR's last ditch legal challenge to get out of the FFP fine has failed and they will now have to pay £42m.
So AC get their penalty overturned, but QPR have to suck it up. One a big Italian club, one a small English club. I wonder
This explains it pretty well. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44980113. Aston Villa would do better by not selling players to comply and taking the hit further down the line, they can well afford to.
Yes, but they still get 10 years to pay it. If they had managed to stay in The Premier League on the back of breaking the rule to get there, the money they would have generated would have made 42million over 10 years look like a drop in the ocean. Look at Bournemouth. I think a lot of clubs will definitely think its worth the risk and continue to deliberately flout the rules if this is the level of punishment. Punitive points deductions is the only thing that will really hurt them.
They only got special payment terms due to the long time it’s taken for all the legal challenges, now it’s been determined that there are no legal routes available, clubs in the future won’t get that luxury.
Thanks for explaining. As normal, appreciate your eye for detail. Still think a points deduction should be included however.
