FFP alternatives

[RACHACE]

I'm sick and tired of having to listen to knuckle dragging armchair supporters of mainly ManUre and Liverpool, but as I do quite a bit of work down south, both Arsenal and Spurs too calling us cheating ***** etc due to the farce that is FFP.
A set of rules that restrict the amount a club can spend. A set of rules that for some reason weren't required until around the time we started to rock the boat with regard the top 4 in the Premier League and started to qualify for the Uefa Champions League regularly.

Buy let's imagine for a minute that both Uefa and the Premier League were genuinely wanting to make things fair. What rules could be brought in to make things fair?

Also, what rules with regard ownership could be brought in to prevent a club going bust like Bury, or prevent situations whereas players and staff might not get paid on time like Reading recently, who were a Premier league club less than 10 years ago.

I'm after some quality ammunition to blow these planks away in a calm and precise manner, with the long term goal being, that these knuckle draggers just fuck off and give me a wide berth when it comes to football talk, or 'bantz'.

I've tried a simple 'fuck off' but the rats just keep coming so like I say, a bit of quality ammunition might just be the tonic.

Fuck of cunts?

 

[Keeper!]

No relegation, and only teams in red can win titles.

Coming to the PL very soon.

The Yanks destroy every sport they touch, just witness the F1 circus in Vegas if your in doubt.

The beautiful game is under serious threat from these fuckwits...BEWARE

Throughout football history, clubs have gone skint, but football survived and if you read books such as Stanley Matthews autobiography, he asks "where did the money go?" because in his day players were paid pitifully

I suppose what I'm saying is there shouldn't be any rules on ownership
It really is the luck of the draw

Any club in debt should not be allowed to sign players.

Any club in debt should not be allowed to sign players.

I think debt on building a new stadium or training facilities for example should be allowed.

You probably shouldn't be able to rack up debt that could really damage the club on chasing the golden goose of champions league football or Premier League football though.

Clubs always owe money

Clubs always owe money

Long term debt should be paid up after 10 years or looks like it being reduced by a significant amount! Or you get a transfer ban for a year

No rules whatsoever?

What about at least the protection of the stadium that said club play in?

Chelsea for example could be bought just for Stamford Bridge alone and potentially sold to make way for plush housing.

Is it in American sports where they have the best players coming from colleges end up going to the teams that finish at the bottom in the NBA. That would be one way to make it a level playing field for every team in the league. Can’t think of any other way of doing it.

I’d say scrap the lot, United and Liverpool’s success has come in an era where you could spend what you want. Why have we only needed it now when City have a wealthy owner when we didn’t need financial fair play for the other 120 odd years of association rules football? I’m suprised those two clubs don’t want it scrapped as they have only won two league title between them since FFP has been introduced.
