Everyone in the league is restricted by FFP (or namely, profit and sustainability/short-term cost controls).
We've already spent (including Lo Celso commitment) over £100m this season net, without costs in changing coaching staff, so it's completely plausible. No one else is doing anything of note so far, so no idea why it's treated as if we're outliers.
We could spend 500m if we want and still be well within FFP.
In fact last calculation I did was we could (although wouldn't advise) easily spend over a billion (if we had cash available) and remain within. Remember we have made massive profits over last few years, and stadium costs (depreciation, not capital value) gets added back, and player acquisitions are depreciated over life of contract.
Certainly it is not FFP that is restricting us, possibly covenants on borrowing, or just as likely willingness to spend.
