pink_triangle Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Distance between Madrid/Barca/United/Munich/City/PSG/Chelsea and the rest hasnt decreased in recent years - its increased. FFP is a larf. Of course it has, why do you think the big teams supported it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooderson Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Of course it has, why do you think the big teams supported it? Fair enough, point taken. But don't then start moaning then when 2nd tier clubs are looking to enter B teams in the lower leagues to gain any kind of foothold/advantage.

Im against financial fair play and Im against B teams in lower leagues, I dont see any inconsistency in that argument. Not supporting a big team, i couldnt care less whats in their best interest.

Not supporting a big team, i couldnt care less whats in their best interest. I support a big-ish team but also agree, nothing wrong with being against both of those. Just because the tier two teams are being shat on by those above doesn't mean they should be able to shit on those below them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I'd argue that FFP screws over the teams that are big but trying to break into Europe more than it does anyone else. It's not fair on the smaller clubs but 10 years ago Newcastle and Everton both had real chances, now while we get close the gap has widened hugely.

Gucci Piggy Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Yeah all financial fair play does is widen the gap between the already-huge teams and their challengers. Why wouldn't Everton and Newcastle fans be against it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pink_triangle Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 If you want to remove competitiveness from the league why bother? The only way Newcastle or everton could win the premiership would be to have an Abramovic type take them over and spend big. The idea a club like them can organically develop to title contenders is unfortunately unrealistic. In my view city and Chelsea have been good for the league by shaking things up. While people moan about the spending, the league wasn't that great when arsenal and man u were finishing top 2 every season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sunderland pay £14mil for Borini then they deserve to be relegated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that simple as I imagine Remy will be paid considerably more than they are paying borini. Remy decent signing for me, still not convinced him and Lambert are at the level Liverpool need to be signing to continue a progression.

The current system is a -farce- but I totally agree with the 'concept' of FFP... naive as that may sound. Accepting the status quo is bullshit.
