The easiest and most palatable change would be too accept the findings ie shareholder loans need to be calculated with interest and then increase the allowable loses all clubs are allowed. The problem comes again though because of the new squad cost rules which obviously change all of these calculations. The historic issue of these loans not being included seem like a disaster waiting to happen though but to me one thing is clear. If they want to survive and keep riding the massive gravy train, the cartel behaviour from those big clubs has to stop and they have to get back to finding broad consensus before changing the rules.

I’m sure they will just write them off, it doesn’t cost them anything to do so. The clubs are worth the same regardless.

Yes, they did. The entire structure of football is set up to protect the incumbents, it’s funny because we spend a lot of time thinking about it on a per match basis but the real game is being played by the rule markers who keep tipping the scales on behalf of the big clubs.

Rules are not changing so no. Back to square one with zero chance of the members (the clubs) changing the rules.

Yeah this reads as if city win the argument but it doesn’t remove or change the existing rules much. Theyve given the clubs a bloody nose though, but the fix is just to write off the loans on the clubs balance sheets.

I agree but we had before this ruling is a lot of clubs who made money when football was totally unregulated putting up rule after rule which prevents anyone competing with them. that is worst than having a free for all.

No, what’s terrible is rules being created mid season on the hoof to reduce the competitiveness of both rival clubs and the league as a whole. we wouldn’t have been furious during Ashley times as we were beaten down and utterly irrelevant. We were rancid space wasters who only existed to the ride the gravy train. in not far totally un regulated spending but let’s at least make rules which are fair and give everyone equal opportunity to succeed

I love this, so they created rules to stop ourselves and Man city and the net outcome of said action is harder financial rules for themselves.

This is key, 14 votes needed for any rules and as we can see a nice cosy cartel of 8 love these restrictions.

Aye it’s not at all shocking. It’s why I didn’t go to bed it’s to be expected due to how they are set up too mind, they have 3 players who id call defensively minded, that’s it.

Always baffled by Ange I must say. You need Barca under pep level of players to get away with his mad system. Sadly for him Bentacour isn’t busquets.

Hahaahhaa

Mitoma is so good.

I think he’s really talented but he seems quite forward thinking and both him and the young lad playing next to him push high and leaves lots of space in front of the defence.

High line + slow defenders + keeper rooted to his line. Us last season or Brighton this?

Brighton and having no central midfield is hilarious.

You know we don’t and Tindall is the one responsible for them.

Serie A.

Shone last season mind. I understand he’s a link striker though so either needs a partner or players running beyond him. Man united do neither

Yeah I was thinking they’ve got so many players whom they either paid a Lot for or who are on massive salaries but under perform.

This game isn’t exactly screaming champions league quality.

Hojlund was 70m?

He got away with it aye.
