    No I mean the FFP does penalise rich foreigners if they try to buy up tim pot clubs and spend £150m on players to buy the league.

    The Premier league is a swamp of dodgy money and backhanders I don't think anyone genuinely cares who wins the thing anymore .

    That’s capitalism for you; the game is rigged, the rich and powerful carve everything up between them, and the ordinary punters let them get away with it, so long as they are thrown a few scraps from the table.

    Meanwhile, supporters turn a blind eye to anything so long as they get that new signing who either a) turns out to be nothing more than a very expensive haircut, or b) has one good season then downs tools til he gets his big move.

    I would love to see you draft a professional sports league without capitalism.

    I think it's only West Ham Spurs and Burnley owned by British people.

    85% Foreign owners sloshing their dirty money around.

    Capitalism only works when it is properly regulated so that it serves the many not the few.

    Communism only works if the end game is starvation and a brutal dictatorship.

    He wasn't allowed to and a court case is rumoured to happen over it.

    That would be nice and simple but Man City are owned by the ruler of the United Arab Emirates' brother so it's not that:emoticon-0138-think

    Khmer Rouge - killed 2 million
    Stalin - killed 20 million
    Chairman Mao - killed between 20-40 million

    Millions of people dead as a direct result of Communist regimes.

    Puts it into perspective when some bespectacled spotty vegan in a Socialist Worker t-shirt waves a leaflet at me blaming Capitalism for the world's ills.

    Capitalism and Communism aren't the only economic models we could use. Communism has never been put in place anywhere in any country in the world, just ****ish forms of it.

    You're too stupid to even know what I'm talking about so I'm not going to bother going on <cheers>
