Great story. Compelling and rich.

Jack Clarke meeting with spurs tomorrow

Bad move for Clarke imo. Wont get a sniff. Poor by Leeds as well. Got holes in his pockets the owner.

I'm hearing possible loan back regarding Clarke, if Leeds can get 15+ million and re-invest it (that's the big question) and Clarke is still at ER I'm happy with that, the more likely scenario is 7 mil & never see him or the 7 mil again.

big test for the owner.if it's not reinvensted serious questions will be asked

It all depends on the state of the finances, another loss like last year, and a big points deduction will be given.

The owner if he has deep enough pockets can get round FFP in a way. But it takes deep pockets and clever business sense. I just find it hard to believe that with a much smaller squad last season and near full houses every week at ER the club are losing money..

only list £4m I thought. need to lose many times that 3 years in a row to get deducted points

The £4m was for the previous year. The expect to report a loss of around £20m for the last financial year.

can easily cover that much with sponsorship ground naming etc

How bizarre.. with a smaller wage bill and much bigger crowds.. something doesn't add up

paying cellinos debts by all accounts
