That's the gamble you take when go all out for promotion.
We got slammed with a 6/7 million fine this season for a net overspend of over 30 million in our promotion year to the Premier League. Leicester overspent by about 55 million the year they got promoted, it was well worth their gamble!
So when do you guys have to pay the fine, when you get relegated back into the football league? Or is it paid over this season?

My understanding is that it is payable (by any club) when the FL issue it. But they have no legal grounds to enforce it on a team who is not in the FL (ie they are in the PL instead) and the PL have no desire to fight the FL's corner for them. So for example QPR continued the whole way through the 2014/15 season having not paid their fine.
The issue, theoretically, comes to a head if and when that said club wishes to re-enter the FL (ie they get relegated from the PL, so wish to accept membership to the Championship). If you haven't paid up by that point, the FL can refuse you entry.
I say theoretically because I don't believe it ever publically got announced what happened with QPR last summer when they did get relegated. All we know is that they clearly were accepted entry into the Championship. But did they ever pay the fine? And if so, was it the full amount? Apparently it was in the region of £60m.
Anyway, I'm not sure that a fine would apply to Derby (though I may be wrong). Given that they remain a FL club, if they have broken FFP rules, then the FL are able to apply their preferred sanction of a points deduction. They can't do that to the likes of QPR and Bmouth, sides who get promoted and leave the FL, because they have no authority to deduct PL points. So a fine is the next best option.
