Apparently they looked at doing the same to Burnley but a spokesman said that their rules didn't allow a team to finish a season on a minus points total
Having issued this to what is still a big club despite their barren years, it'll be interesting to see if any other clubs fall foul of this in the near future. Chelsea must be a prime candidate, their income from gates and other revenue must be dwarfed by clubs like Utd or Liverpool, yet as has been widely reported, they've spent over a billion quid on transfer fees alone in the last year or so. I bet it's real eye opener to what lengths some of these clubs and their financial experts will go to "stretch" the rules.
Another thing I've just learned watching the story is that the FFP rules allow a club to lose £105 million in 3 seasons, apparently Everton lost about £125 million. Crazy figures and another example of how money at the top end of our game has got totally out of hand and will slowly kill the interest of fans who support any club other than the elite few. The gaps never been bigger and it's getting bigger by the season, you only have to look at the bottom of the Premier table and the top of the Championship.
