Mr Logic Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I don't mind clubs spending money, but it really should be money that they've generated for themselves. Whether that's through commercial activities, gate money or TV doesn't matter. If clubs are all self-financing, it ensures that there's some scope for competition, even if you don't have complete equality. When you get a mega-rich billionaire who's prepared to dip into what is effectively a bottomless pit of money from outside the game, it distorts the whole picture and only inflates transfer fees and wages to a dangerous degree. I know Ashley has pumped in some money, but it was to clear a debt and safeguard his original investment. He's quite right to insist that, hereon in, the club should only spend from its income. Good post, good points. I'm not usually in favour of regulations but something should be done here or the future of football in this country could be heading for a spectacular crash and burn.
