Presumably and possibly both 6th & 7th depending upon who wins the FA Cup.

Makes the fight for the last CL spot more interesting as there’s no extra spot for someone to sneak into.

Especially with Leicester being at home to Man Utd in their last game of the season.

They need to overhaul the whole system, and decide what they actually want its purpose to be. Are they trying to save overspending owners from themselves? Or encourage some sort of parity among clubs/leagues? In trying to do both they've instead achieved neither. Oh, and then actually make it enforceable!

What a joke - you can effectively spend your way out of spending regulations, no more FFP after this...
Good news for our new owners when they take over!

Banned for dodgy sponsorship deals. UEFA should investigate our own "Deal" with SD, 12 years at £0 a season plus a cut of all Nufc merchandise is far worse than a owner pumping his own money into the Club to win trophies.
At the same time Spain' government helps Real Madrid & Barcelona out with handouts in the form of huge sponsorship deals
What? <laugh>

The purpose has and always will be brand protection. Imagine a competition without Man Utd, Chelsea, Juventus, Real Madrid, Barca, Bayern etc. teams like man city and the rise of other footballing superpowers can knock these teams off their james perches, clubs that will be less attractive globally than the aforementioned clubs. It would hurt tv deals and sponsorship because the audience has the potential to dip. These clubs are far too popular and well established as the elite for it all to be risked by allowing the rise of new teams.

That's been the outcome, but nobody is nor was going to outspend those clubs, with or without FFP, so nobody can convince me that's why they made the system the way then did. I think they naively thought they would keep the spending of big clubs in check while discouraging other clubs from outspending their means, but the big clubs are way too powerful to actually enforce the rules.

So Sheffield Wednesday get a 12 point deduction for next season for over spending...if they had the money that man c have then they could’ve got away with it. fFP is a joke.

Aren't Derby still being investigated for something similar to Sheff Wed?

At this rate promotion to the Premier League could be achieved with a minus points total next season! <whistle>

Yeah. Some fans are saying that as it was investigated this season why wasn’t the penalty applied this season as it was for Wigan?

I think the EFL have different rules for going into administration where the points deduction is immediate whereas with what Sheff Wed and Derby have done the deduction is the following season - I might be and probably am wrong though. Does seem rather unfair on Wigan as their owners passed the EFLs' fit and proper persons test not that long ago.

If Sheff Weds' deduction had been applied this season then both they and Wigan would have been relegated with Charlton, who seem to have their own problems regarding ownership, staying up.

Yeah I think that was Wigan’s argument, if the EFL said the owners were fit and proper then how were Wigan supposed to know otherwise.

Isn't Wednesday's punishment completely unrelated to UEFA's FFP program? And instead is related to EFL rules?

FFP has annoyed me, but I feel like people keep conflating its motivations. If City overspend, their Sheik continues to pump in more money, when lower league clubs overspend, they typically end up in bankruptcy and at risk of going under. Now I think it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, and the points penalties just hurt them further, but the penalties are meant to scare them away from putting their own clubs at risk with their spending. Is it working? Clearly not though.

Wigan, unsurprisingly, have lost their appeal against the points deduction.
