More made up conspiracy. Seriously, the whole world doesn't revolve around United. Got no interest in paying a visit to the United board, quality of debate is poor and you are nothing to us.
When it debunks the magical world of mystery and wonder that you live in I am not surprised you think its poor. and of course the world doesnt revolve around United. Just the Chelsea board
Why you gotta bring me into your love spat with UIR I don't know, I just throw out facts DL as I did on the chelsea boards, got slagged off slagged back and got banned. Fair enough, you mod the board its up to you, never questioned it, but my ban was akin to my spurs ban, with threads like EC winners threads and what they draw and then you ban people for responding in kind, which again is up to you. Your lot call us many different things but as soon as I say plastic flag wavers I get banned On the United board I posted some facts and some jibes at Chelskovites in general mostly and I just got abuse and name calling and personal insults from you and drogs takes me back to you lot slagging the crap out of Rafa and when he takes a potshot back you lot cry about it, really stupid if you ask me
this is all very interesting and slightly entertaining, but what does it have to do with the Deloitte money league? get a room for this ****e please, thank you and i get moaned at for derailing threads ffs.
I got dragged into it by DL, those two been at this handbags for days They've been rolling around the boards fighting like Peter Griffin and that Chicken in Family Guy [video=youtube;Jpoki4wBwtA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpoki4wBwtA[/video]
Its not my fault this ****tard ( DL ) is clogging up all the active threads. Theres a post on the Arsenal board in the 'whats the point of spurs' thread that sums up DL. Also this thread was old when he bumped it pointlessly
didn't even notice that lol, losing the plot me thinks. bump was justified in the first place though wasn't it?, just got a bit silly since. just thinking, anyone think of any clubs that if they got backing that would easily jump this pointless money league? Chelsea and City have proven it possible, any more? Leeds,Forest etc.
Yeah it would be likely even Palace would challenge for the PL if someone dumped 1 billion pounds into their managers hands for transfers. Still, without these moneybags, the last 21 years of English football would look like this United 18 Titles Arsenal 3 And people slate La liga as uncompetitive
In any business you need investment to remain competitive. Football is no different. I'd rather other clubs be open to have the same opportunities as we did rather than an Oligopoly.
I'd rather clubs put some effort in rather than wait and hope for a magical billionaire. Dortmund should be an example to many clubs. Huge disadvantage to Bayern yet were the top dogs in Germany until this season.
Look I agree, Football is a business. investing in your business is wise. Roman lets be honest is not looking to make money out of Chelsea though, he wants success and doesn't care about the money as much I suspect, and given his tinkering with all things Chelsea I am inclined to believe that. I mean the Sheva interdiction cost Maureen and Chelsea in the end and it was a complete waste of 30m. Football is a business and again investment is good, its a huge money game and if you wanna make money you gotta spend it. UEFA I would not be surprised may get done by someone's clever legal team over this at some point as in the whole Bosman affair because football is a business as I keep repeating, and subject to European laws that supercede UEFA rules however much fans dislike it. I find it a little hypocritical of any of the top 6 slating each other over money when there are 14 other teams who haven't got a ****ing shilling and can only look at teams above them and can only dream of spending the kind of cash those teams have. The only fair system is the draft where the worst team from the season before gets the very first pick of the young promising rookies but football is not structured in that way nor are the leagues so it will never happen. No one cared about teams going bust, its been happening since professional football began, only since rich owners challenged the already established elite have these new rules come about. Rich owners have been pumping money in for decades but just not at the level it is at now and it was fine, like Blackburn and Newcastle, but had Blackburn and Newcastle and a few others pumped in the kind of money to Challenge Real AC and so on FFP would have come about far far sooner. What is really annoying about it now is that they are hitting up small clubs who are having trouble with wages and denying them European competition even if they qualify which makes that team far worse off and in even more financial trouble, it helps no one and will only speed up the demise of small clubs who have been sustained from benefactors. Those teams most of em do recover and continue, but not any more. No one really cared about Leeds or Pompey or if Chelsea went under, but as soon as United were financially out muscled by two teams the rules changed within 3 years. Coincidence of course.
Could never happen in the EU, or indeed under any situation of multiple national leagues and with promotion and relegation. The only reason it works in the US is the US is the only country to play NFL at a really high level, and there's no relegation there. Even if we tried to put the draft system in place here it would fail - a smaller club would come in and pick, say, Raheem Sterling. Sterling would say "**** that, I'm off to Barca". Still, it wouldn't hurt to learn from the principle. I've said before I think there would be no problem with billionaires pumping up individual clubs like City and Chelsea, provided they are also required to invest the same amount of cash in grass roots initiatives and to be spread across the other clubs in the league. The PL is boasting about investing £200m over the last ten years, but they could have increased that almost tenfold if they'd tapped Roman and Mansour to match their investment in Chelsea and City. Now that would be truly fair play
Good post. The problem I have had since 1992 at least, is that the money Sky and UEFA money has allowed some clubs to grow exponentially at the expense of others and now they are trying to close that loophole. FFP is akin to Thatcher's Poll Tax, it has the exact same effect.
I disagree. Grass roots has nothing to do with Roman or Mansour and they shouldn't have to finance grass roots for every club (if that's what you mean). The real problem is with the FA, that's their responsibility but all they seem to care about is their shiny new Wembley.
