Wolfcastle Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Its been pointed out before but it doesn't allow for certain parts of the country nevermind Europe being more wealthy than others so of course they can charge more per attendee and ultimately have bigger turnovers from which to spend more money. That's the case anyway but this enshrines it. I'm alluded by the fairness in that and I'm actually thinking about Sunderland here compare to say a Fulham when in essence the point at times with all this has attempted to benefit the bigger club/fanbase wise.

Add to this that clubs who attempt to grow revenue streams through sponsorship deals its strangled by FMV rules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 We've probably lost about 10pts this season, European football this and potentially next season, for trying to stick to FFP. Stick it up yer arse. Go big, put in deals to cover the sham, see them in court. Remember, we've a dossier on these cunts from the takeover, soon as they saw what we had they folded.

Dokko Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 And the thing that annoys me most, is we've ran players into the ground, impacting their physical and mental wellbeing, all because we cannot bring in assistance, even though we can afford it. That's the price of success? Is that fair? Why aren't the players union raising this as concerns? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 3 hours ago, TRon said: One other thing I have wondered about, is the club ownership really that much against FFP? While I'm sure they would love the opportunity to invest unfettered amounts into making the squad on a par with the cartel clubs, FFP/PSR does mean that we are forced into making the club a sustainably profitable one, and PIF is after all and investment fund first and foremost. It's win-win for them either way. Yep, that’s my thinking too. PIF isn’t the same as Abu Dhabi or Qatar’s govt funds. They’re city-states with tiny populations. KSA is a country - no matter how big the part, this isn’t the vanity project of the govt. I also don’t think that the ownership are necessarily unhappy about it. That tune may change if infrastructure starts coming into FFP equations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Utterly ridiculous coming up with such convoluted rules. I hope as a club we push back and others such as Villa do to - if we want to be the best league in the world we want to have the best players in the world. And in order for that to happen you have to allow clubs to spent. The League managed just fine without any spending restrictions and with so much money now in the game PL clubs can afford to spent. Enough is enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 So considering a club can get into fucking massive amounts of debt, see Man Utd with them having a debt somewhere between 6 and 10 years worth of Premier League income. This would mean that so long as we got a 0% interest loan, then we could pay it off in instalments and never run the risk of running foul of FFP.

The rules would entrench English football’s position, not damage it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UEFA and PL rules however both embrace FMV and that by definition prevents clubs turnovers growing through sponsorship.

Yep, again it doesn’t help us, but the idea that it damages the PL generally isn’t correct. Most English PL clubs have the vast majority of their income coming from TV money followed by match day income. Commercials for all except the biggest clubs is often comparatively small. Growing the commercials at Palace or Wolves is likely to be in the order of seven figures. The Sky Six have zero issues with their commercials. So UEFA’s FFP rules will have little to no impact in general on the PL. Thinking that it hurts the PL is wishful thinking - as it means that the PL will push back against it. Nope.

relámpago blanco Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I think UEFA and the premier league will end up in court over some of this. There is a lot of legislation with anti-competition laws in the EU and the UK. Football thinks it's different and most toe the line but then get pissed off and you end up with landmark rulings like Bosman for example. Microsoft had to go through a ridiculous process to buy Blizzard for example but football teams can't spend to grow? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a clear argument for the rules as they stand preventing them from operating within a transfer window and getting the best deal for the club. i can’t see Everton having such a clear argument and they are likely to watch and support Forest. oh and Forest clearly have an owner who is only too happy to stick 2 fingers up at the rules Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) The lack of mobility between the leagues strikes the same chord. The PL/Division1 was behind Germany, Italy and Spain until the late 90s. PL shouldn't have its status protected just as Liverpool, Spurs etc shouldn't. Keeping everything as it is now is a c**ts trick especially in sport given most of those in the ascendency once werent and would have complained the most had things locked them out.
