I don’t think people would have complained if the loss figure had gone up in line with inflation. We’d have another £100m available
The 6 have such an advantage. People say that City hardly spend now but that’s AFTER they’ve assembled a world class team without worrying about FFP. It’s all good saying it now, but they wouldn’t be if FFP was this strict 10 years ago. They had years of having nout to really worry about & now they’ve got their star team they can just balance the books. As I say, advantage.
I was going to mention that I mean 105 million these days over 3 years is nothing for a Premier league club. The entire concept was an opportunity taken by the clubs that want a closed shop and ffp is proving very successful. I'd point at Leicester who were eaten up by ffp, now Everton and Forest. Not getting it wrong is very difficult even if you get close you have to tear it down and build again. It's not just clubs at the top either I mean a club can stand to lose millions getting relegated and they might not be able to invest to try and prevent going down
I simply don't believe that our owners aren't allowing the groundswell on this to become sizeable before wading in and trying to force through significant changes.
Joe White has turned to the club following a successful loan at Crewe. We don’t need another midfielder now.
What do you think may happen? Or be happening behind closed doors? I mean we have some ****ing powerful people attached to this club. Obvs not Amanda and Mr Amanda.
I actually think Bryan Gil is a gifted player with excellent technical ability(lovely David Silva hair too...) but lacks a bit of physicality currently, I wouldn't mind him at Newcastle on loan with an option to buy in the summer if he does well.
I'm really not sure, but I'm absolutely astounded that it hasn't been robustly challenged by someone yet... and if we're up first, the oil state card will be out. Problem is, that now the big 6 are comfortable they are going to resist any PL overseen vote, so it'd have to be something independent - I mean, it's essentially an illegal restriction of trade / competition. PSR has a place - for protection of clubs form dog **** owners (Portsmouth... Everton), but there has to be some mechanism introduced in future that if clubs are going to overspend intentionally, they are able to be backed up by legally bound non repayable funds from the ownership. Allowing the owners to debt the clubs to the eyeballs can't be allowed.
They're trying to redress PSR as a squad wage value restriction instead which will allow for instant sanctions. It's irrelevant what its called or how it works because the ultimate result is to kill competition. Rick Parry is a big pain in the arse aswel.
Yeah, but it's wage as relation to revenue, with the same limits on revenue or owner-loans. AKA protecting the interests of the few above the hopes of the many. A little like life, really.
