Even if we wanted to be compliant this season we couldn’t have been. Nobody wanted to sign our players given the high contracts we have with them even if we were to give them away.
What are we to do, sack them and face law suits for unfair dismissal?
Make them redundant? Well then we cannot sign another football player for a period of time, 2 years I think.
Remember for a good few years we’ve been pushing for and playing in Europe. Winning trophies. Leeds only had a couple of seasons in the Premier League before going down again and hardly set the world alight. Ipswich have been down in the third tier for how many seasons? They’ll soon learn.
I’m not condoning us breaking the rules, whatever punishment we get we will take and get on with. But they are flawed.
