One Internet site suggesting the sale of MA could result in the FFP restrictions being lifted. Anyone else heard anything?

The accounts are sent for review in November but will be end of season before restrictions should be lifted

"Blackburn Rovers and Nottingham Forest continue to be subject to FFP embargoes relating to their returns for 2013/14 season. Both clubs will have the opportunity to remove their existing embargo during the remainder of the current transfer window by using any funds raised from player sales to cover previous losses."

Leeds United have had their FFP embargo lifted after submitting interim financial information in March 2015 that demonstrated that the club’s finances are back in line with permitted levels


Clear as mud but suggest we could lift the embargo once we prove our spending is within acceptable levels. The MA money seems to bring us within the regs but it will mean we still have to trade carefully in the coming years to stay within the guidelines.

The lifting of the embargo doesn't mean we can go buying players and paying silly money, it just means we have the flexibility to offer higher wages to a smaller squad or agree loan fees.
