Declan Rice twist as the Times make claim about transfer fee but is it anything to worry about?

Everton were docked 10 points earlier this season, and could yet face further punishment, whilst Nottingham Forest apparently could face sanctions as well (The Athletic).

West Ham are not in danger of falling foul of the FFP guidelines, but we clearly need to be sensible and ship players out before we can lay out any substantial transfer fees.

And whilst the Hammers have had to pay a ‘payday loan’ fee to receive some of the Declan Rice money early, it is nothing out of the ordinary in the footballing world.
