abbeyedges Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 There are fans of some clubs (those in particular that have been languishing in the Championship for far too long) that want to do away with FFP and allow their chairmen to spend as they wish. The very same fans are equally against clubs being relegated from the Premier league and receiving parachute payments. Not asking for much are they?

prince al Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 This is really a discussion that is going nowhere and any more time spent on it would be pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he is right already isn't he?, Derby had their ground valued at 41 million in their books, or something like that, and "sold it" for double that amount. "Creative accounting" doesn't even come into it........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money has spoilt the game and although we could argue that there has never been a perfectly level playing field, that is the case now more than ever before, the bitter acrimony and squabbling will become more a part of the gamesmanship and fan banter than ever before too. Here are a couple of things to consider, the likes of Wednesday and United will be extremely fortunate to ever compete with the top end Premier League clubs in the future as things currently stand financially and on a more local theme regarding stadia Wednesday built their own ground while United inherited a cricket ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the moment they do but the tide is turning, what other industry stops someone spending their own money whilst showering failures with it, the idea in principle is ok but they've gone about it in a totally hamfisted way, I'm pretty sure it will be challenged legally once it starts to affect the majority.
