Yet we still carried on spending in the Championship to gamble on another promotion.
Easy to forget why we find ourselves in this current situation with FFP etc. |  | | |

This is a result of the huge gap between the Premier League and the Championship in terms of income and expenditure. It has happened to us and Bolton and could also happen at Villa if they dont get promoted soon. |  |

It is why FFP will continue to pave the way to a closed Premier League. The gap is unbridgeable; a team coming down with those parachute payments has to go back up immediately or will end up with a need to reduce costs to a ridiculous level to balance the books and there will be more Coventry's, Portsmouth's, Sunderland, Ipswich, Leeds, etc., etc.
... and we're not out of the woods yet. |  |

Jenkins took them from League 2 to the Premiership, FA Cup win, European campaign and a new stadium.
Wish we had an owner like that. |  |

League Cup win and they've qualified for Europe on many occasions as winners of the Welsh Cup. A bit like winning the FA Vase yet being allowed into the then Cup Winners Cup. | | | |

 sorry I have the FA Cup on the brain. I would have answered the FA Cup, if the question was "What cup did Indiana Jones choose in the Last Crusade?
I am not comparing him with Gregory, he falls well short. He is much better than Tony. | |

was talking to an accrington s fan in the pub on friday (We met at the bar before heading to our designated screens), he said that AC's total operating budget was £1.1m while sunderland's parachute payments alone this season amount to over £14m.
Level playing field though, we lend them Paul Smyth, he wins a penalty and scores the other goal in the 2-2, makes our Paul worth a minimum of £13m | | | |

Swansea's problem is, that when they were in the PL, they could attract top players, maybe not the very top, to West Wales. Once they got relegated, Swansea is unlikely to prove that attractive.
Add in the normal issue that you have to fulfil PL level contracts on Championship income and you have a recipe for disaster. Shedding those on top money is necessary, but it makes it almost impossible to get back to the top level.
And once the parachute payments run out it is nigh on impossible to be competitive, unless the club is run extremely well. See also Sunderland, Villa, Blackburn. |  |

And what really pisses me off is the fact that the spending of the top 6 prem clubs on wages has a massive effect on the next 4 or 5 tiers.
But that suddenly becomes the problem of the lower leagues.

Everyone loves Swansea so doubt the Financial Fair Play lot will be strict. Meanwhile QPR come to the headmasters study. But sir Swansea and Birmingham have overspent. Stop telling tales lad and prepare for 50 lashes. | | | |

Swansea have only just come down and are vigorously selling off players.
Something we didn't do.
Clearly plenty wrong there, but they seem to be making sure they won't trouble FFP, surely? |  |
