    I disagree with the comment about bridging the gap, you just have to take a sustainable approach, improve infrastructure and increase revenue. All of this fits outside of the current FFP rules.
    Unfortunately what clubs tend to do is go after the Carlos Kickabouts with a big fee and wages and then complain how unfair it is when they get into debt chasing the dream.

    The thing is Fosse, you have no idea if and when he may get bored of a football club and want to focus on more horses. I also remember walking through Bangkok airport seeing all of the duty free shops closed, just as we were coming out of the pandemic.king Power took a massive hit and I genuinely believe Leicester stalling in the transfer market was a result of that. Hopefully it won’t happen but you can never tell. Surely the long term future sustainability has to be the way forward?

    No more or less than any other football fan mate ... but I'll enjoy it while it lasts - as I said earlier, King Power also own OH Leuven in the Belgium top flight, so obviously enjoy footie ...

    The big 6 fans tears are polluting every football platform Today it's highly satisfying. The fear of competition courses through their veins.

    I hope you’re right, but history is littered with owners who either get bored or can’t sustain the debt.

    Nobody is stopping any club from competing, but you can’t continually spend what you haven’t got without it biting you on the arse. It really is that simple. As I keep saying, focus on increasing revenue and then reap the rewards.
