Great source of info there MS. I'll read thoroughly later having just woken up my brain can't handle it.
One thing that does concern me is this paragraph or two.

FFP encourages clubs to invest in youth development, which is an area of focus for Wednesday, whose academy was granted Category Two status under the Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP). However, there is a price to pay with a “considerable” increase in investment in the academy taking the costs above £1 million.

The concern with EPPP is that the changes in the contractual position of players under 16 might produce a situation where clubs such as Wednesday become feeder clubs, “ultimately subsidising the costs of youth development for those able to attract the best available talent without paying the true value to the club that worked so hard developing the player.”

We need to grow in stature and hold on to our youth prospects. This just smacks further of Corporate raiding Business tactics creeping in to football and I effing loathe it.

Mars/Nestle buying raiding and robbing little sweet shops and makers til they're gone... Ring any bells?

Furthermore, whom is introducing these rules and policies that blatantly have a bias toward the top clubs in the Prem? And if nothing is done about it now it will only get worse. The smaller clubs need to stand together against this bullshit being force fed to those at the bottom from those at the top.
