Forbury Lion If our owners have a second profit making business and they create a holding company that this profit making business and Reading FC's current holding company roll up into, would the FFP rules be based on the new company at the top of the pyramid?
I'm sure all possibilities are being explored. It's a bit like the tax system. There are some very smart finance people drawing up the rules but some even smarter finance people (often former rule-makers) looking to find ways around them! The former group generally work on behalf of everyone, whereas the latter only work for those rich enough to be able to afford their services.
