This is what gets me, a think i have this right.
Say Villa stay up this season and the owner pumps more money in so they can buy better players in the summer.
They then finish mid table next year and the owner invests more in new players to push for Europe.
They then finish they year in 8th place so the owner buys a top player in the summer and they go on to finish 5th and finally qualify for Europe.
They make a massive loss over 3 years, up to now Uefa haven't given a flying fuck but now they qualify for Europe they have failed FFP and get a further fine on top of their losses and banned from Europe.
How does that make any sense?
If the Bravo hadn't made that save on Sunday and then Villa exploited our crap penalties to win the league cup, then they would have been excluded anyway for breaching UEFA FFP as they only escaped EFL & PL sanctions by flogging the stadium to the owner and leasing it back which UEFA wouldn't include in their assessment. So they may as well go balls deep in this monitoring period should they stay up as even if they qualify they can't play in Europe anyway.
I had to explain this to one of the mouthy gits calling us cheats on Sunday
