So the Blunts, and other relegated clubs, will not have the UEFA financial fair play rules applied to them next season in our league. Cheating or common sense? :unsure:

Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth, or the only truth.

DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WITH THE QUALITY OF PLAYER THEY ARE RECRUITING - They know there S--- and haven't any money to put in the pot either. :sunglasses

I know that was what Sheff Utd were arguing for but reading the article it did not seem to make the distinction between relegated teams and the others.

Wording being: "SANCTIONS are unlikely to be imposed upon League One clubs who fail to comply with UEFA’s financial fair play framework next season"

If this really is only applicable to the relegated teams, it does suggest that there will not be a level playing field for all clubs in the division, which is poor in my view.
