So long as their's ample parking ? Don't want you getting muddy tires on your Roller slumming it in plebswitch
I'll be skint when I'm back in Ipswich perhaps you can employ me to clean your father in law's moat, I'll give you a receipt .
I thought you could make a living doing the Ipswich Guide to fine dining! Surely you will have enough places to keep you going for at least 2 days!
The trouble is this "The FFP model if implemented correctly" which makes me think we're not really disagreeing at base level. That's kind of the point - the FFP model isn't implemented correctly (partly, I think, because it simply doesn't practically work). I think it's a bit of a pipe dream though, your summary. The aims are admirable, but there is too much money and too much interest in maintaining the status quo to have the idyll you paint. If FFP were truly about solely about staying within your means, it would only be fair play if everyone were given a starting point of equal means. At the moment, some teams are more equal than others, and it's clearly not about staying within your means because there is currently an arbitrarily determined amount that clubs are allowed to "lose". None of it's truly business-minded (which I think is always stated as the sort of aim - i.e. not to go bust), but it's also certainly not aimed at helping England or English players/managers. The bottom line is it's all about money. The only way of having fair play and promoting England/English players is by spreading the money more fairly, without removing the incentive of monetary reward. That way, clubs chase winning by developing players, managers and squads rather than buying victory. Of course, it's still better here than on the continent where in places like Spain someone posted a chart the other day showing Barca/RM getting £140m compared to the bottom of La Liga getting about £18m. There it's simply shocking.
Just logged on again and I can't believe how busy it is on here this afternoon, am I the only one who's got a job ?
Alternatively we could keep starting new threads everytime a topic is brought up but that would be daft. Man City somehow stay within the rules by paying themselves insane money for stadium and kit sponsorship deals. We all know it's a charade but like life the super rich live by a completely different set of rules to the rest of us. Football is even more top heavy.
