I don't disagree with you at all.
Just look at the NFL for the way to structure a fair sporting competition. There's a salary cap and the team with the worst record gets pick the best young player for the following season.
Football is broken it's ridiculous that clubs such as; us, rags, spurs, arsenal, chelsea and liverpool can have better players on the bench than teams like; Huddersfield, Brighton, Burnley, West Brom, Swansea and Watford can have in their starting 11.
Football isn't really much of a sport anymore. The games are getting worse with teams parking the bus as it's the only thing they can do due to the competitive disadvantage they have.
That & the fact that 99% of football managers are complete frauds, with no real idea how to build a football team in the moder era, & no ambition other than staying in a job, so bang average managers become known as 'top' ones, for doing it a little bit better, for a while.
But re ffp, the kind of models you have mentioned, could have course have been brought in when ffp was first mooted.
Make it so that after 5 years or so, all the teams would be starting equal.
Then the likes of Manchester Utd, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich & of course, the wonderful Liverpool, all still have their wonderful history, & massiveness, so it's no problem for them to remain at the very top without spending all the money right ?
Exept they know, all this 'history' & 'special club' stuff, is fucking bullshit, & just a matter of circumstances coming together at the right time, which allowed said clubs to become financially better off. Without having a financial advantage over most clubs, none of them would even be able to guarantee staying in the top two divisions. That is the reason Blackpool & Preston North End, Wolves, Villa, Leeds, Forest, etc etc etc are not competing with them now: money, nothing else.
And the proof of how this can go wrong ? Manchester City, one of the biggest clubs in the history of football in this country, being in the 3rd division because of a spell of shit management. Would we have been there if we could spend Utd, Arsenal & Liverpool level money on players & managers ? Would we fuck! We just happened to be shit, at the wrong time, whilst they coined it in & sold their 'brands' worldwide on TV.
Clubs coming from big cities, had gained an inevitable advantage, prior to that, due to the potential for fans paying in, something else where we were 'historically' one of the biggest.
If all this stuff had been equalised 100 years ago, there might not even be a Liverpool or a Utd or a City in the top leagues nowardays, or even in existence.
Now, a select bunch of clubs who happened to be at the top during a select period, have taken over football & are constantly fixing it for themselves to stay there.
They have no 'right' to be there historically or otherwise.
