FFP alternatives

If you really want to do it, you don't need rules, you just need an equitable distribution of money in football. Champions League money should be shared even down to League Two. The Premier League TV deal should be shared right down the ladder. Additional payments should only cover the costs associated with hosting live TV games, travelling to Europe, etc. Gate receipts should be split 50/50 with the home and away teams in every game. And what you'd probably find is that if there was no chance of cementing your place at the top of the table indefinitely and guaranteeing income for decades, there probably wouldn't be such an influx of billionaires into the game in the first place, because there'd be no chance of any of them getting their money back. Successful teams would get more sponsorship money, but without such a huge difference in incomes, the chances of clubs building a dynasty that will last for decades would be much smaller.

But it's never going to happen because it would involve a lot of very highly paid people getting a big pay cut for the common good.

Could you imagine that? All the money filtering down the leagues would leave our entrants into the CL without a pot to piss in.

Scunthorpe outbidding Chelsea for a player, no reason to win the league because everyone gets paid the same no matter what.

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.

Just laugh in their faces and remark with an ear to ear shit-eating grin,
'Whatever you try, tough shit - you can't touch us and you know it. That's why it makes you so angry.'

I have always said that regulating the P&L:
1. Would lead to more and more rules of ever greater detail and most of them without logical foundation.
2. Restricts clubs’ ability to profit from a good business model and to suffer from a bad one.
The former has now come to pass. For example:

— the junking of the legally recognised definition of related parties under IAS 24 and its replacement with a ludicrous definition of associated. Read the rules, they can mean whatever you want them to mean.
— the attempt to turn sponsorships into a public auction.
— the attempt to restrict loans in group clubs.
etc etc.

So I come back to my start position which is:
REGULATE DEBT, not the P&L. It is debt that leads clubs into trouble and regulation of debt to a given level such as 1X turnover would take care of most problems, while leaving clubs to pursue whatever business policies they wished.
In addition, there needs to be agreement on how certain income, such as tv, can be distributed for the common good.

THAT’S IT.

Alternative to FFP?
Hot vinegar-dowsed poker up the arse.
Preferable for some.
Khaldoon would take it and still come out ahead...
