McCormick Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 If we’re selling Maxi, it’s possible Ffp-wise. Whether he’s willing to come here is a different matter altogether. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristov Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 What's the possibility of our out of favour players leaving on loan to Saudi at the end of the window to negate the wages from the accounts. If we cant get a fee the least we can do is remove the wages. What's the deal regarding transfer windows in Saudi? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be class but shit from an optics perspective…unless others did the same as filler for the league teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s loans without a fee that allows players to play then it would be pretty shitty for people to kick up a fuss.

Exactly. We’ve got Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City in a position where they look hypocritical now if they bleat on about overinflated Saudi fees. Take a few high earners from Spurs, Arsenal and Man Utd and we can dump the dross on Saudi clubs without any recourse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

North American sports operate within closed shops - you don't get a Bournemouth rising through the leagues and automatically displacing another team when they get to a certain position. They also don't have to face competition from other countries, where a Real Madrid can pay much higher salaries and take away the best players. If you were starting off with a blank sheet, I could maybe see how it would work, but I don't think it would suit our current situation of large inequality but large mobility. There was a salary cap and retain and transfer system until the sixties. Since then, there has been a growth in inequality, which FFP has been brought in to redress. The plus point of the overall development is that the quality of the product is far more entertaining than it was. FFP is govern by UEFA, which would mean Real Madrid would be under the same rule , they still can pay as much as they like with transfer/salary cap, just that they will require to pay additional tax once exceed the cap, and it'll grant other teams extra income when they do so instead of however they wish to spend now Edited July 16, 2023 by teohgk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
