Re: Blues Could Face Further Sanctions Over FFP

I'd be surprised if the EFL can force a club to sell a player for below what the club value him at.

Not sure how many times I have to say this, but the reference to the sale of Che is a red herring.

Of course the league can not dictate we sell players or for how much.

They told the club to generate money by a certain date. It didn’t matter how, just that they did. So while blues could have generated it by selling Che, they could have done it by selling other players or bringing in additional sponsorship.

I believe (this is my opinion, nothing more) that the club were told to do this cos someone at the club (probably Dong) told the efl we’d be fine this year cos we would generate additional cash last summer, and we didn’t (which is fact).
