After letting QPR off the hook this would be bollocks, the EFL have made their bed and should lie in it.

As someone else said, the rules changed because they were not fit for purpose. But they got what they wanted; our owners write off 20m plus they get 17 million which means they get money and there isn’t a debt free club. And we get an embargo for January.

With all possible respect Matt, those of us that follow clubs who have complied with the rules think you've got off lightly. The R's openly flouted the laws so pleading poverty after the event isn't going to wash. Many think the whole fine should have stood TBH.

There is also a question to if they should have been allowed back into the Football League. Many would have wanted them demoted to the conference in a similar style to Glasgow Rangers.

At the time, yes there was but that ship has long since sailed. Whether the subsequent treatment / punishment meted out to the R's is enough to stop other clubs overspending is extremely questionable. Judging by the likes of Villa / Forest and their spending, the answer would surely be no.
I do fear we will lose a decent club if people continue to 'go for it' when they really shouldn't.
