It is early days and so I'm definitely still dining out on it still - lord knows how long I've got but I'm milking everyday of it whilst I can.

No Maji, I highlighted it because it put some focus for me personally on just how exceptional our run has been, sometimes it takes seeing it written down to make some impact. As for Ings and Cardiff, if he goes in January it will be for a lot of Money and there will be plenty of suitors. I'm hoping we can still be up there and keep hold of him at least until summer but this is football, we are Burnley so I know there's a high probability he will be gone.

Burnley fail to beat Bournemouth but their rivals don't win either so a good day down the road again

£80m LOSS £60m FINE! QPR face record-breaking punishment for wildly overspending on dozens of players in failed battle to stay in Premier League

Very interesting Chaddy, the Venky's will be very pleased to hear that the FL have now decided to give the fines to charity,

what happens about our fines if we never go up, are we just barred from bringing in new players until we have brought the debt

down, or do we still get fined after we have ?

That could be a long time off, mind.

That money, or even a fraction, should be pumped into grassroots/junior football to build and improve pitches.

Hate it when we give away teams all that stand. Turns it into a bloody home game for them.

To be fair, with the atmosphere (pre-Rovers-goal) at Ewood in the last two seasons, any side bringing 2000 with them seems like a home game for the opposition.

The extra cash wont make a difference though and if its promotion or bust then we shouldnt be making it harder to get points at home imo

Hmm interesting that they have changed the rules on where any FFP fines go. Previously they were meant to be split between all the clubs that obeyed the rules. Now they go to charity. Shows how weak the rules are if they can just change them like that. I would imagine the reason for the change is that if eg QPR pay a big fine, there is more chance them taking it to court if they could reclaim it from the other clubs, they are unlikely to try getting it back from a charity.

Who are "they"? The football league is simply a committee made up of the club chair persons or representative isn't it? In other words the clubs.

I think Burnley may just be up there at the end of the season. It doesn't feel good saying it, but this expected implosion of form hasn't come, and doesn't look like it will soon enough for them to really miss the play offs.

A lot will depend on the board actually wanting it !!

January coming up , players in and out ...If they strengthen you could well be right !

Just think if FFP actually puts clubs off having ambitions to reach the PL because the risks outweigh the potential rewards.

True Stuart. It'll be a case of 'taking the money and running' if team X, Y or Z go up. They would not go out on a limb to get a good enough squad to stay up, put the cash in the bank and be a big fish in this division. Of course, there are clubs, like errrm, us that need promotion to have confidence that well have a club at all.
