Can anyone explain ffp to me, my take which may be wrong is club money made from season tickets, tv rights, European run, kit sales, general sale tickets and cups participation and also multi sponsorship deals is used to run the club? So what i am saying is say the 49ers say were putting 25 million for transfers can that be increased for talking sake by 60 million if now it's an if we sell the likes of rasking say 20 mil, iga say 20 mil, diomande say 20 mil, just for talking sakes we would have generated 60 mil for player sales would that then or could it be used onto of 25 million already put on offer as our player trading model would be on the right track can we sell then use to invest straight away?
I think I am wrong but can anyone clear up for me.

The money we can use is what is counted as revenue. so the elements you say plus player sales. 49ers can't just put £25M into the club without reason as it isn't counted as revenue so can't be used on player sales. so yes we can use there player sales money straight away to invest into squad though so that part is right.

We won't spend 25 mill anyway. don't think we will be able to.

So from what i understand is that the percent allowed to be used on staff costs is 70% of your revenue. sell of players counts as revenue so the amount available to spend will increase. you aren't allowed to artificially increase your revenue just by pumping cash into the club. the good news though is that previously we had x amount to spend whether its buildings/ refurb (capital projects) or staff. hopefully as ffp doesn't take into account capital expenditure it releases more to the playing squad but still need to keep under the 70% of generated revenue.
