Aston Villa chief Christian Purslow has taken aim at Chelsea's transfer spending.
Speaking about FFP and smart transfer spending, Purslow seemed to aim a subtle dig at several clubs' vast spending, with Chelsea and Todd Boehly likely at the top of that list.
"We [Aston Villa] are trying to do things the right way, that is the tradition of this great club, and that means patiently, consistently seeking to improve but doing so within the financial rules," he told BT Sport.
"Those rules are very topical today, and that is why clubs like Fulham and Brentford are able to be successful, but I think it's quite likely in the coming months and years that we will see further reform of those crucial financial regulations.
"When properly applied, they ensure that the wealth of ownership is a secondary factor, not a primary factor, and I think that is the way most football fans think football should be."
