I appreciate the FFP is there for a reason, but this could have a serious effect on our season now. We don't exactly have the most inform squad, and there is a serious risk of complacency setting in here. 'Well they can't bring anyone else in to replace me' is a mindset some players could adapt. We are sitting dangerously close to the relegation zone, with players who aren't blessed with quality challenging for places, with only freebies and low cost loan signings possible in January, this hardly fills me with confidence. Cheer GFH, you've been a right laugh!

We can sign players the ruling is just another farce. Call me mystic meg however I strongly suspect we will sign say pavolotti on loan with view to a permenent deal where any fee will be paid in the summer. It may impact on us in terms of some players who might have been running down their deals who we might have paid £250k for, and there may be some players who we might have offered in excess of £12k a week whom are theoretically now out of our reach. But the effect of this ban in reality will will be minimal. Cellino planned for it in the summer, he will find a way around it. Nothing in the ruling prevents payments to agents .... Now there's a loophole me suspects. :D

That's how I understand it. If you get rid of players, I think you can somehow use that money to sign new players.

But let's be honest: Morison is the worst deal we've made in a long time. No one will take him.
