it all comes out in the wash with the accounts eventually, so what is the advantage in clubs doing this. Why don't the FA STOP it? FFP should mean full disclosure, surely?

Couldn't agree more. For ages I've never understood this 'undisclosed' bollox, they have to tell the taxman and disclose in company accounts etc. The only advantage that I can see for the delay it protecting info from rivals knowing stuff during the transfer period. It's like the 50 year protection bollox on UFO data .... pointless after a while

I thought the details of undisclosed deals were still provided to the FA?

FFP isn't a public exercise anyway, deals could be shown to Platini's Panel of Pillocks in private.
