    I don't think docking us points would have made much difference. The whole FFP thing is a bit of a mess anyway. It seems more of a test in which clubs can bend the rules the best

    Agreed. Any rules should be about making it a level playing field. This is sport - should be about tactics, commitment and skill under pressure, not who buys all the best players each year, weakening their opponents.

    The Chavs have benefited hugely from Roman's cash injections. In fact it's only really because of their behaviour along with City that FFP was brought in. If it had been implemented 10 years ago. The Chavs would still be a two bit yo-yo team like Millwall. **** club, no history and no success without the Sugar Daddy.

    honestly, I think every club .. should refuse to play ..til this stupid fixed rule is removed ... bearing in mind manure wont do this cause it favours them massively as they can spend millons each year ...and buy all the best players year in year out the rest are totally snookered fookin fixed.


    ok some clubs have wealthy owner s . I accept that ..but who is to say you cannot spend what you want ...lets face it ,any club you never know could get a wealthy owner ..but they still be fooked ..as fifa has favoured the revenue clubs ...stupid and unfair .. i couldn't care what the clubs history are .. fixed

  8. I cannot get heated on this subject, sorry. Some clubs buy success - so what! It makes beating so much sweeter.

    What big-money team sport is fair?

    Ffp is a good thing,

    If your club is run properly that is. If your club is run by cowboys or at a loss, then ffp is a very bad thing and will hamper your club big time.

    It is not designed to keep the rich clubs rich. Go have a look at Italy if you believe that to be the case. Ffp has come down massively on the whole league.

    It was also accepted by 72 football league clubs before any Premier League club.

    Without ffp, many supporters would be seeing their sides disappear. Nobody wants that.

    FFP works as it will stop another Portsmout/Leeds. Yes if favours UTD, but UTD dont get it all their way way do they.

    A well run club will attract better sponsorship and that brings better players in.

    In fact I would say the Prem is going to be more open for the top 6 spots, as no one team and spend spend spend (see ££££ and Chavbus for details)

    FFP protects the rich and the status quo.

    But well-run little horses like Chelsea can match the might of United, winning the league on smallest spend and wage bill of big 4.

    Debt is normal. Everybody and every company has it.

    You guys are obsessed with %... possession now wages/turnover.

    % of turnover is obviously important. Paying 100million in wages isnt great if the club makes 50million. Its going to end badly.

    I still owe about 28k on my mortgage, does that mean I cant buy a new car?

    You lack the knowledge of of economics my lad so I will make it simple for you, as long as I pay my bills ad I have money left over I can spend it on what I like, so for UTD thats money they spend on players.

    Simple really

    Obsessed, not a chance

    Another person who lacks basic economic skills, UTDs wage bill is 50%, Chavbus is about 59% chavbus have less maneuver on wages, so when Hazard wants a big pay rise, you cant offer it, due to lack of income. Remember you need income to compete, but if you play boring football, you cant get the best deals, as no business wants to be associated with boring.
