    Isn't that like a fat bloke saying I'm happy to eat a burger a day, as long as I can have a slice of Rivita too?

    Why "a sewer rat a year" ? FFS why can't United say a Di Maria or a Rodriguez a year?

    On a serious note, I think they'll definitely do it until the title is won.

    As a United fan, not impressed with being compared to buying a sewer rat each year.

    Plenty of other players I would happy to be associated with, but not the cheating, diving, biting and racist Suarez.

    Don't give a toss Diego, comparing United to Suarez is a total insult.

    Fair enough, but i don`t think Sports Business International will be aware of our feelings about this, they just see the ££.

    Maybe so Diego, but any journalist worth his salt would not have used sewer rat as an example. In fact, the more i think about it, he probably did it on purpose, knowing it would create a reaction from United fans. I would imagine the Liverpool fans are not amused either.

    Have you seen the Mousers tearing each other apart on Hash`s Thread thread? It`s just like reading the Arsenal board :biggrin:

    Never go near there Diego. Against all principles, yet often get the dippers falsely accusing me. Can't use the Arsenal board, goonercymraeg got peevish and banned me. Lost endless nights of sleep because of that.

    Theres some good lads on the mouser board, you can get some decent conversation and good banter without getting banned by over sensitive mods. The Arsenal board is funny, they ban people so easily that they only have themselves to argue with (which they do all the time) <laugh>

    Although I think there is nothing wrong with United doing what all the others are it just shows up the total joke that is FFP.

    United are right buying in expensive talent, that's the game all the other top European clubs are playing.

    It just cements the idea that FFP is there to keep the top clubs on top and the rest in their place.

    So how did a miniscule club like likerpool spend so much? How did everton have a higher net spend than chelsea and city?

    It works. Pretty damn well too.

    Read my post again mate. Everton have a higher net spend that City eh? is that because they've been in the PL a lot longer in these money years?

    FFP is a joke because the top clubs can get top sponsorship deals, some laughably huge.

    There is no way for smaller clubs to get deals like those and therefor no chance of competing with clubs that can. Those small clubs are forced into selling their players to the clubs with the money.

    Preventing competition is what FFP does.

    It has nothing to do with your spending, my comments.

    Total nonsense Sisu. Its there to stop oil barons and billionaires buying clubs as personal toys, and to stop clubs over stretching their finances. City PSG Barcelona and Chelsea are now restricted, and Liverpool are sailing very close to the edge. If the FFP had been in force sooner, Leeds would probably still be a premier league club.

    United Arsenal Everton & Spurs are the only self financing clubs in the prem. It's up to the others to stick within their financial limits

    Yeh. Explain everton outspending chelsea amd city in net spend terms.

    Thats insane. Give it a few seasons and city and chelsea will be forgotten memories. Neither can sustain without fire sales every summer now.

    I think even UEFA the PL and FIFA will tel you FFP is not about stopping Oil Barons buying clubs.

    City are in all comps after breaking the rules? There is no way on this earth Real Madrid are FFP compliant. Chelsea "invested" most of their cash before FFP.

    ironically only those that support teams that were threatened by "new money" clubs really think FFP is good, like you because you can spend 100 mil a year no probs so for you it is great but that is shortsighted even for you.

    if it was not for the oil money as you call it, the PL would have had the same winner almost every year and only United would have the monopoly in England for the last 15 years, this "oil" money made the PL far more of an interesting league. FACT.
