canarydan23 3,782 Posted July 13, 2020 Is there anyone who genuinely still believes that football, at least at Premier League and UEFA level, is not rotten to the core? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Wynless Jones 161 Posted July 13, 2020 Just shows that FFP, both in our leagues and the European competitions doesn't actually exist. Never has done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROBFLECK 129 Posted July 13, 2020 This is an example of what has driven me away from football , I mean what's the point of ffp? I think the sport is rotten to the core as the OP says. The richest clubs rule it , not the "authorities" like UEFA or FIFA ... Something is very wrong... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking of FFP it will be interesting to see what happens with both Villa and Bournemouth if they come down with us as I believe both have been mentioned as to teams that over spent to get to the PL.

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,413 Posted July 13, 2020 Money can buy a solution to any problem. FFP just seems to be a ruse by UEFA as a tax (or a method of obtaining bribes) on the teams owned by multi-billionaires. "You've spent too much money. To play in Europe next season, you have to pay us more money. £10m legally and the same again in our pockets should cover it." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenny Foggo 1,038 Posted July 13, 2020 So a court found them not guilty... How does that make football rotten to the core? Whether you like or dislike Man City, they argued that they had not broken the rules and a court agreed. A have a mate who is a life long Man City fan and he says the community work they do is fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
