Just a thought about FFP. I see no reason IF Li takes ownership of Wolves, why he couldn't make Baidu our main club sponsors. That would give his brand immediate exposure. He could easily bin the moneyshop deal and pay them whatever such a cancellation fee might be. Just like Man City's owners Etihad, he could sponsor us for many millions to increase our revenue and thus minimise any repercussions arising from FFP. Any comments boys?

Sounds good to me! 👍 Let's just get it done!

There's a limit to how much money they can contribute that way though, otherwise everyone would do it to bypass FFP, fortunately it doesn't really matter 'cause FFP doesn't make that much difference to spending anyway providing the owner knows what they're getting in to. So, if the new owner wants to spend more than FFP allows, it's fine as long as he knows he'll have to pay a fine a few seasons down the line.

The FFP rules are laughable to someone who is worth billions.

What's the fine for breaching it? Around 5 mil? When you reach the Prem, you get an instant 150 mil. No need to worry about the FFP.

I've already suggested dropping Money Shop shirts. Pay the buggers off. Baidu shirts would be logical replacements.

FFP rules are laughable and have anyway just been relaxed to take in a 3-year view rather than 1-year. So, lose 3 year's worth of money in the first year and get promoted. Also, you can just ignore FFP to get promoted, like Bournemouth who paid a paltry fine. The financial windfall far exceeds the possible penalty. If you try and get round FFP with overinflated sponsorship of Baidu, you're in trouble as sponsorship must be of appropriate value.
