Well in a way, that fault lays with the FA for not making the fine much heavier. The greater the deterrent, the less clubs will be inclined to do it.

Should not be fined they should automatically be relegated back to the division they came from

No, they simply ignored the rules completely.

I feel much the same about teams like Bournemouth, Leicester, QPR, Swansea flouting the rules and effectively cheating.
If not a block on promotion, a points deduction should be introduced and imposed at the start of the following season. The amount of points deducted should be on a sliding scale depending on how many millions of pounds in breach of the FFP limit.
For instance, if Bournemouth had been given an 8-point penalty before the start of the 2015/16 PL season, they would have finished in 18th place instead of 16th - and relegated instead of Newcastle.
Burnley & Brighton may get relegated soon (maybe this season) but Bournemouth will drop sooner or later and I doubt they will return whereas the Clarets & Seagulls would have a decent chance of bouncing straight back.

I agree, but ultimately it's down to the FA to make it happen. It isn't warnings we need anymore, it's action.

It's the second time they've been fined. Their first fine was £7M.

This latest figure is the same fine but negotiated down as a final settlement.

Thanks. I misunderstood as I thought they paid £7M about three years ago. The Bounemouth fans on here were keen to tell us about it, despite denying many many times, that they hadn't broken FFP rules.
Yep remember that quite well. Knew they would fail FFP. Think it was obvious to everyone apart from there fans.

Those fans have been strangely absent since it became clear that they were wrong wrong wrong. Funny that.

They hadn't even paid it, but spent three years trying to get it reduced.
Are you Palace in disguise? Cheats.
Some DULLARD has written a load of lefty GUFF about it.
