    Half a billion turned over since 2008 promotion....

    And now we're still at the same debt level we were, pre-Allam but now playing L1.

    So remind me again why PL is such a good idea.....

    Fair play rules are anything but fair.... Other than a once in a century, Leicester winning top flight, the same teams are winning year after year. FP rules mean no other team can.

    As much as I despise them, Leeds aren't allowed to spend at a level that will mean they're competitive with similar sized clubs next season....

    The games f¥¢ked....

    I've said elsewhere that all FFP truly is for is to protect the big team's holds on the top, stopping lower clubs from catching up by punishing them for attempting to do so. It did the exact opposite of what it was supposedly meant to do, though honestly, with UEFA, that might've been the plan all along.

    Just look at how one team has been able to dominate most major leagues because the others can no longer financially try to compete - Juventus, PSG and Bayern the big benefactors of it.

    We can't have too many pigs at that trough - that's why Bayern and the crooks at FIFA went after Man Hunter in such a big way. FFP wants scrapping, it's not fit for purpose and never was.

    If some soppy billionaire wants to spunk what his employees have earned him on a footy team, what's the problem??

    Fair play can only be achieved with a US style draft system and a salary cap....

    But that's never going to happen....

    To be fair, even prior to FFP, the SPL was a two-team league and nobody else could compete.

    Rangers ****ing up only made it worse. They'll never reach that level again because FFP won't let them.

    Yes, all those financial whizz kids who mockingly post 'best run club in the country' are in for a shock as there are a handful who are more profitable. than us.

    They'd probably get 50k in Bellend Road if it was big enough. They're so far behind other clubs now, it's possible they'll never get back up to where they believe they belong... Reckon half of their £160m for promotion has gone on bonuses, wages for existing players, paying fees for championship loanees... They'll have to go into huge debt to compete.... That's before they've repointed the ER brickwork....

    Yo yo is the best they can hope for....

    How to wind up a Leeds supporter.... Tell them they're favourites for relegation!

    For me a big club is a 3 Wood.

    Do we know what that chart is actually saying?
    Just asking like.
    There's not much on it to clarify.

    All I know is this (that Phil posted) ..... "Half a billion turned over since 2008 promotion....And now we're still at the same debt level we were, pre-Allam but now playing L1."
    I'd add, and with **** all but a few good memories (which tbf some are priceless) to show for it.
    Also add to that, ... and with next to no remaining support.
    Nothing to show for it, and next to no support, the same debt and a division lower is utterly criminal and the blame rests solely at the feet of the incompetent, arrogant, arsehole Allams.

    I don't get this bit though ..... "So remind me again why PL is such a good idea....." We were doing fine, turning into a decent yo yo set up, until the twats (Allams) ****ed us up big style. We had 3 chances to achieve what Burnley have achieved very well. PL is fine, we just ****ed it up.

    How much have they taken out?
