This very much seems to be the football authorities trying to be seen to do the right thing but not really knowing what that is. So kids junior football is cancelled but cinemas and theme parks stay open, doesn’t seem to make sense to me. Appreciate people have different takes on this but seems a lot of people would have appreciated being able to attend matches to show respect as a community

Bobby Reid got 21 in 17/18. Brilliant season from Weimann, especially coming back from a torn ACL

This article suggests the wages would have been c£2m for the season. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/tammy-abraham-wolves-aston-villa-15636578.amp In terms of a fee there is no evidence for this but fees for similar players like Nketiah have been quoted around £3m a season, hence why i said £4-5m was an estimate.

Just a couple of points on this. I don’t get the arguement that having loan players is a way of pleading poverty, Tammy could easily have cost Villa c£4-5m for last season based on estimates for loan fees and assuming his wages are paid in full. However the bigger arguement is more conceptual, FFP exists to make the league more susbstainable, and clubs like Villa, Sheffield Wed, Derby and Reading have have used a loophole to bastardize it, to the detriment of other clubs playing within the spirt of the rules.
