    So 'Pep the fraud' wins 4 Premier League titles in a row with a squad costing virtually the same, if not less, than the Liverpool squad that Jurgen Klopp assembled during the same time frame... remind me what the FFP rules are supposed to achieve again ... level playing field, my arse ... <laugh>

    And have done for years
    Anyway it’s onto the prem for Leicester Cheaty. Once a cheater always a cheater
    Is is three times now you been caught ?
    Tbph I lose count

    so as I said FFP is pretty pointless - and I don’t agree with it fundamentally

    And.... indirectly they do pay refs here to ref Saudi games, 18 and a half grand more per game than the prem does.

    just out of interest who was the person / company who were gifting LFC all this money for 20 years.
    PS The Moores family before David were far more involved with Everton than us though they did have a small stakeholding in us .

    Just out of interest ... why does 'giffting' matter? ... because somebody decided to introduce rules that massively benefit the world's elite clubs by stifling new entrants? - new entrants whose owners ain't ever going bust - Where's the 'Fair Play' in FFP if it more or less guarantees continued success for those elite clubs ...

    My main point - all along - is that the rules as they stand are not fit for purpose - in no other industry is investment controlled (and stifled) to this extent - it's uncompetitive by definition ...
