da apostebet： Earlier this week, Phil Hay provided a rather alarming update about Leeds United’s FFP situation as he revealed that the Whites were cutting it fine in terms of their spending limit.
However, there could be a way around it as Phil Hay believes that there is a solution that makes sense.

What’s been said then?
The journalist was hosting a Q&A session on The Athletic, and one fan suggested a way in which United could get around FFP.
“On your point above about FFP, given that Phillips (and Bielsa) will almost certainly be off in summer anyway if we don’t go up, why doesn’t Radz go for it and get Bowen/Gayle, knowing we’ve got £25m+ coming in regardless.” One fan asked.
Hay believes that this is a good idea, and he suggested that it could be implemented.
“That could be done. It’s one way to operate. And in some ways, it makes sense.” Hay replied.

Makes the world of sense
The more you think about this strategy, the more it actually does make sense.
We did a piece earlier in the week saying that this season is all or nothing for Leeds after Hay predicted a mass exodus if they don’t go up, so Leeds should give it their all to make sure they are in the top-flight next season.
Yes, signing a big name such as the suggested moves for Jarrod Bowen or Dwight Gayle would put Leeds over their FFP limit, but that wouldn’t matter as long as they recouped that before the end of the financial year. The potential sale of Kalvin Phillips would allow them to do just that as he’s reportedly valued by Leeds at £30m.
Granted, if Leeds do this and they don’t go up, it will leave them in a poor position at the start of next season, but if Bielsa goes because of their failure, the Whites are likely to regress no matter what.
Meanwhile, one hurdle may be denying Leeds the chance to sign Matej Vydra, but they shouldn’t let that stop them.
