There's nothing stopping us scouting thoroughly and finding cheaper talent as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Just me who doesn't mind the FFP constraints? Worst thing to see in football is watching clubs buy their way to the top in a couple of windows. Give me a slow and steady build any day of the week.

That’s fine but when arsenal can spend more on one player than our whole supposed budget it’s a bit of a piss take. Liverpool another one can change their whole midfield no problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 The market will always be inflated as long as chelsea city arsenal man utd etc hoy money about for donkeys. Other leagues see the Premier league and stick another 20 mill on top of the price. Makes it almost impossible to build properly with ffp limiting the non elites spending.

It needed an intermediary built in as it rewarded part of what it was supposed to stop ie a wealthy owner just coming in and blitzing the transfer market, and because of it, it's maintaining and strengthening the status quo.

Viana Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Talk of deals not being 'close' is intentional ambiguity. I think the lack of football in the summer means we all obsess over transfers because we don't have the important bit to enjoy. If we can get one more major deal done before heading out to America it'll be grand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst thing to see in football is watching clubs buy their way to the top in a couple of windows. Give me a slow and steady build any day of the week. I'm in favour too. It's not perfect, in that it's difficult to break into the circle of those who are already rich, but if there was no FFP, then one single club would dominate. Also, FFP is not just about the top of the Premiership. It's there to protect all 92 clubs from reckless owners who overspend and then abandon ship when they end up in a position of insolvency. Leeds have still not recovered from the Ridsdale era. FFP would work a lot better if the income gaps generated by TV money between the CL clubs and the rest of the Premiership, and between the Premiership and the Championship, could be shortened. The current situation puts pressure on owners to take risks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Ffp hinders clubs like everton who would be able to spend there way out of the mess there in. So it helps the elite but not the rest as you have to push the boat out to catch up. Not fair at all in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is we're exempt from that to some extent. We've got entire nation backing us so we know we'll eventually get there but fuck doing that in 1 year, much rather we take our time with it, and dodge the accusations of buying it. Our future is guaranteed, FFP or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
