Bolton could be set to go into administration and see a 12 point deduction over missing loan repayments. Makes it even crazier they spent about 1.5m on 2 strikers in the window.

Birmingham also facing a 12 point deduction for breaking FFP but after the fiasco where QPR did much worse and managed to effectively negotiate their punishment down to a slap on the wrist when they shouldve been dragged over the coals it would shock me if Birmingham got anything like that.

Before a ball was kicked i think most of us were predicting lower mid table consolidation or relegation battle for us. But after how we've equiped ourselves so far and with so many clubs around us seeming to be in a mess on or off the field i think we've got a very good chance of staying clear of the drop zone and hopefully we can aim a lot higher.
But also a timely reminder of how important it is for us to keep on top of our finances. People have given Sharpe and Jackson a fair bit of stick over the last few years but for any of their flaws they've managed to avoid us falling into the situation Bolton and Birmingham have. Theyve continued to try and back the managers by sign players and keep what we have when possible so credit to them. But without the Prem money or new investment from new owners i fear we'd have to cut back on what we currently have to keep on the right side of FFP long term.
