It's done by spending money and was done without obstacles.

It appears people start from a position of saying we can't have a situation where clubs like 'city' or 'Newcastle' can spend more money than other clubs... Well why not? We've already got a situation where clubs can spend more than everyone else.

Oh they've earned the right to spend the most forever sorry I forgot that rule.
It’s called rules mate. They might not be very good rules but they are rules all the same and were voted on by the majority. From what I see the only way City and Chelsea are complying is by what’s considered under handed means, which does give them an unfair advantage.
City are now appealing these rules with some success, so it’s likely you will start to fish in the same pond. Whether it will make any difference to yours and others success, only time will tell. I’ve heard over the years, the games been ruined by millionaires, now it’s billionaires and if City and you get your way it will by sovereign fund owners. I genuinely hope it all implodes.
 
Was thinking we could move Mazaroui up and put Heaven on.

Darren Fletcher's son maybe! I don't even know a couple of them.

We're having another of those periods where they pretend to be injured as it's too cold or something.

It is bloody cold in fairness. Wouldn’t fancy working outside today either.
 
Liverpool have both the highest XRC - ARC (red cards) and lowest XP - AP (pens) in the league.

They rarely ever get players sent off for the same thing other clubs’ players get sent off for AND they get more penalties for the same offences that other teams don’t get penalties for.

Covid title 2.0 incoming.

I know they're rules, but it appears the club's that are allowed to spend the most money now don't think it's fair for other clubs to spend more money than them.. Well why?

Also rules being voted in my a majority doesn't mean it's right or fair for a competition.

Regardless this is all secondary to the point I'm agreeing with, which is that the club's that spend the most win the most.

I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone say “x” club can or cannot spend. What I’ve seen, mainly from Sucky, is how certain clubs are currently circumventing the rules in place. That’s a whole world of difference.

There's two sides to the coin I guess.

Tbh I wish I never agreed with fosse <laugh>
