Arsenal FFP concerns as club record loses in the 2022/2023 season.
Arsenal released their yearly financial report for the 2022-23 fiscal period, revealing a £52.1 million deficit, an increase from £45.5 million in the preceding year. This notable loss may have raised concerns among fans, especially amidst heightened awareness of Financial Fair Play [FFP], particularly after Everton’s points deduction and Nottingham Forest facing potential penalties for financial violations during the season.
However, financial fair play(FFP) expert says there’s no cause for alarm. When asked if The Gunners are at the risk of sanctions he replied :
