I doubt they were in the top 10 budget wise but might be wrong!
They signed the likes of Fábio Carvalho on loan from Liverpool when he had been on loan in the top division in Germany, few other loans from Prem clubs plus spent £6m on Philogene plus a couple of other larger fees on players. In terms of FFP its relative to their own income etc and overall compared to some in the Championship it could be well down the list overall due to clubs on parachute payments etc.
It was twitter talk but you they wouldnt be the first club to have cut cloth after chucking money at going up and failing. That said i suspect what i think is a rather colourful foreign owner has thrown his toys out of the pram at them having been in the playoffs and dropping out to miss out completely. Whilst its a nonsense decision apparently they have only won twice at home and 8 overall since New Years Day hence them falling out of the playoffs.
