Didn't Bournemouth and QPR get big fines though,which were settled as they'd only be due on returning to the FL.
Depends how you define big..... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44980113 |

Looking as the loss seems to stem mainly for one year where wages jumped from £22m to almost £38m, someone somewhere in the club appears to have dropped an almighty bollock there!
That wouldn't perchance be the season that Harry "Chequebook" Redknapp was in charge over the summer transfer window would it? |

It seems to be June 2017-June 2018 so coincidentally Harry was in charge that summer. So we can now add Birmingham to the list of Redknapp basket cases along with West Ham, Portsmouth, Southampton and QPR. |

One of the only times I really heard Vale fans last week was at FT with 'get out of our club' chants.

Diamandis tried that "protests are damaging the club" line too, one way you can always tell an arsehole is when he borrows tactics off another arsehole

It could be worse .... we could get promoted to the Championship: reading this makes you wonder why more Championship sides haven't gone under and how is it Brum got punished for their player spend when according to the graph at the bottom, Wolves' player spend was 250% of their income! Unless I'm misreading it? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47691385 |

Literally cheating, but they get away with it.

Its all bollocks though. |

Ah yes, I remember now, I read something about a club (don't think it was Wolves actually) being able to basically put 3 years spending into 1 year (and then not spend in the other years) that they thought would get them round it so they could just go shit or bust for promotion in this one year. Although I seem to remember it was a team that had just come down. Same thing applies though I guess |

Ah, plucky little Bristol City only spending 135% of their income on player costs.
Having heard Mark Watson on fighting talk going on about how amazing it is that they are doing so well having lost the spine of a team and being so financially responsible, this amuses me.
