Financial fair play

[stumpy]

Just was having a think earlier regards the juniors moving en mass to the new west league. I know in senior football especially at top tier accounts have to be in order and clubs can't really out spend what they bring in, otherwise there's transfer embargos etc  We know there is certain clubs at our level that can be on the generous side when it comes to wages some of which would put teams in league 1 and championship to shame. Would now we are fully under sfa will there be more scrutiny over the way some clubs are ran financially and the way they source their income..

Would only come into play when they apply for their license, at that point accounts are required etc to show it’s viable.

Until then brown envelopes will still be the favoured method of payment (old habits die hard)

Nope it’s only top 2 leagues in big nations and top divisions in the rest for FFP

Correct! 

Juniors in the west of scotland love a brown envelope or two that won't change.
