According to Swiss Ramble , we made a £24 million loss in 2020.
Since then, our income will have dropped by £30 odd million from £46 million to presumably something less than £20 million? due to parachute payments stopping.
Our wage bill was £36 million in 2020 - that will have reduced a fair bit, but enough? Player amortisation should be better in the future too if we continue to bring young players through.

The £33 million profit we apparently made in 2019 will have been insulating us from any FFP concerns recently, but that will soon drop off the FFP calculations - when we are looking at 2020-2021-2022 we have to be in serious danger of overshooting the limit.

Bringing a new player in on a free just adds to our wage bill without giving us a realistic chance of promotion. So it'll just mean we have to make more cuts later.
