Weren’t you annoyed when Liverpool were spending despite annual losses? Genuine question btw, it’s a very vague memory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in any case, things have changed. I can admit bias. But I don’t think I’ve genuinely cared about FFP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I kinda liked the principle of FFP insofar that it could have lead to “sustainable” football. Obviously part of the problem was that it was partly driven by rich clubs trying to pull up the drawbridge. Just seemed mildly amusing because like you say, things have changed.

STM Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Would it be fair to suggest that Everton won't be spending vast amounts this summer? And if so, will possibly need to raise a few funds from outgoings? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Should have just told the ‘big clubs’ fuck off to their super league and ousted them from the PL. We’ll be fine with the five subs rule going forwards but it’s absolutely shit for teams lower down the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Has the 'historical qualification' for the Champions League gained any legs? If they sneak that in I can't see there being the kick off that there was over the ESL, but there absolutely should be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5 sub thing further reduces the element of "luck" in football. Every decision the game makes favours the bigger teams. It's shit for FPL too.

Wullie Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Quite apart from whether it benefits one team or another, the 5 subs rule is bad for the game in general. There's been a real disjointedness in games in Europe over the last couple of years once large numbers of subs are made, the flow of a game often disappears completely and the last 20 minutes is just spent watching players go on and off. Diabolical if you like a bet on yellow cards as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have included 2 spots for historical performances, plus another spot for something else. However neither spot will come at the expense of a club qualifying via the league and the most spots a country can have in the Champions League has increased to 6.
