In the real world Burger King and Mcdonalds would never be able to push to invent rules to stop Wendy’s only spending what they earn.In the real world of business we have done nothing wrong if Amazon , McDonalds , KFC or any big business wanted to invest another £1 billion to grow their business , who would stop them investing ? Answer , no one , there would be a possibilty of creating jobs and improving the infrastructure it would be welcomed.
But football is different , invest a billion , create a football the club the envy of the world , create jobs , bring the best players and manager to improve the business and as side effect improve the Premier league "brand" by bringing world superstars like Haaland into the UK.
And the reward , 115 charges , the threat of relegation and a media driving a crusade to destroy our club , even someone as stupid as Richard Master's cannot see any benefit of the Premier league relegating our club and removing the jewel in the crown of the league and losing some of the best players in the world.

I disagree with that. All of the opinion pieces in the Telegraph from senior writers such as Charles Moore (ex editor of the Telegraph, Sunday Telegraph and the Spectator) are specifically about Abu Dhabi being undemocratic, misogynistic etc and that they would stifle any debate about issues that don't align with AD values.
All very hostile and backed up by very senior Conservatives saying the same. The point being that when push comes to shove all parties will do what they perceive to be in their best interests. So from being courted for investment last week Abu Dhabi and our owner are being vilified this week.
Son of an ex KBG chief (you can imagine where he got his funds from ) and mate of Johnson owns the London Evening Standard. Not a peep.As much as I don’t like the telegraphs close links to our current government, personally I’d never advocate having a foreign government either owning or having significant influence over our press either.
Absolutely fine with them investing in other businesses though.
There is no nuclear button, I’m afraid. Just a zero sum game.Calling @Didsbury Dave to the thread....

You’re not telling me that in the negotiations for the record tv deal the prem didn’t talk about Pep, KDB or Haaland & their achievements.
& if I was bidding I’d be saying I fucking hope we don’t pay all this money only to lose them.
We are a foundation block of the premier league, globally we are enormous now, generating over 700m in revenue , toss us out and any titles are meaningless.The injection of money into the league from Chelsea and City has made the league much more competitive than the days of Liverpool and Man U domination. The EPL is easily the most interesting significant league.
100% agree with you but sadly we signed up for the rules of the PL and FFP.In the real world of business we have done nothing wrong if Amazon , McDonalds , KFC or any big business wanted to invest another £1 billion to grow their business , who would stop them investing ?

But Murdoch et al are ok?As much as I don’t like the telegraphs close links to our current government, personally I’d never advocate having a foreign government either owning or having significant influence over our press either.

None but they are the rules, and if your not happy with them , you fight to change them.I'm always intrigued when posters say this. What was the alternative when they were imposed upon us by the 13 clubs who voted for it ?
