yeah, ched evans is young and all-rounder- can play as a lone striker. I really didnt want him, but looks good this season...
A) Do you think that cheating a noble system like this one is right? B) There will be an FFP Committee which will take action if Man and Leicester City blatantly flout the regulations, as I'm sure I've mentioned before. So no, it likely won't be "easily" that you cheat it.
A noble system? Is it really that noble? I think in some ways it is anti equal business as the teams at teh top will stay there with even less threat from thos below. I don't like the way Man city have done it but im glad they have done it. Man U v CHelsea is boring i don't want another la liga. Personally i think all the english leagues should sell their together and money should be more equally spread amongst all league clubs. Just because some clubs I.e man u and arsenal where lucky enough to have some great teams whilst the league was at is most profitable does that mean they deserve to richer then any other club? Man u Have no more right to survive then Kettering Town in my opion. A noble system would be one that treats all clubs equally not one that will help the ones currently lucky enough to be in the prem or top 4 etc. Personally there should be about 1/100 of the money in football there currently is. Atm no one has any idea how harsh these regs will be how they will operate and how clubs will get around them. People avoid tax and thats suppose to be a certainty in life along with death which says it all.
In princple, yes, they are noble. They will limit clubs from pushing wage and transfer bars yet higher like Leicester, Nottingham Forest and West Ham have done in this division over the last couple of seasons, and that has to be the first step towards sanity for English football. In practice, a lot more needs to be done for there to be a real effect, such as more even distribution of TV money like you mention, as well as wage, transfer and import caps. Hopefully along with some regulations about supporter ownership which the Government are increasingly pressing the FA, FL and PL to consider. I agree a bit. I think the clubs with big fanbases will always prosper, and that's why clubs from big cities like London, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham and Newcastle have historically done well. But there should definitely be more mobility across the leagues like there used to be. I did some DIY research recently and found out that between 1970 and 1990, there were twice as many clubs that won the top division and FA Cup as there were between 1991 and 2011. Just goes to show what a distorting effect the TV money mania has had on the game, and the kind of wages and fees that clubs like Leicester are paying is helping that a lot. The further prices are driven up, the better it is for the corporate superclubs like Man U and Chelsea, and the less likely it is that Kettering Town will Wimbledon their way up the leagues. Agreed. 80m transfer fees and players getting paid 250k a week is unreal. I'd be quite happy for those to get slashed to a fifth of their current size for the best players. True. All we know so far is that they are being put in place with good intentions and a level of trust. Hopefully that will not be abused and exploited by those clubs for whom short-term gain is more important than the principles of true football and the long-term health of the sport in our country.
