City and Chelsea to Fail Financial Fair Play....

[SWP's back]

We are NOT in a recession.

Yes we are.

No, we are not.

GDP is still growing, though the rate of growth is slowing down.

A recession is a downturn in GDP. At present, (Q4 2010), GDP was growing by 1.5%. Therefore, we are not in a recession. We actually emerged from the recession in 2009.

You sound like a fucking Tory spin doctor.

Tell mine and many, many thousands of others bank accounts we are not in a recession.

Say what you want, but the country is not in a recession by any definable definition of the word.

That is not a Tory or politics thing but an economics thing.

As for your bank account? So what, that has nothing to do with the subject matter of recession. There are many thousands of healthy bank accounts also. Why bring any of that up?

I was answering a poster that said we "were in the midst (middle) of a recession". I have simply shown we are not.

We are in a period of low consumer confidence, which is a different thing. If BluePaul had said that, I wouldn't have pulled him up.

We're not in recession but we're still bouncing back from the effects of the recession we've just come out of. Now back to City lads.

Fine by me.

City are awesome and FFFP will not hurt us. It will stop another City happening though.

No matter what the reasons are for the fair play rules. All they are doing is stopping any other club joining the elite, basically protecting themselves.

It will be interesting to see what happens if say the Rags have a bad season and don't qualify for CL.

Why should FIFA care if some billionaire wants to spend his money - if a club has cash flow and no real debt then they shouldn't be able to get involved.

Say QPR owners want to spend a fortune - why should they not be allowwed to do so and CL qualification helps them grow - its all a load of inner sanctum b*llocks

QPR are, unlike say Blackpool, the case study for FFPR as they ahve owners perhaps able to keep the club punching above their weight but alas it wont be allowed to get them into Europe.

What does their stadium hold? 22k?<br /><br />-- Fri Apr 08, 2011 5:15 pm --<br /><br />Just checked and its 18,360
