Forest docked 4 points

Colymore has spent years trashing our club for breaking rules. Absolutely fuckin slating us. Now he seems to say its the only way to get to the top.

The fuckin Doggin woman beating insufferable ****.

Can’t wait for the PL’s KC to launch his opening argument with “the information on the internet tells us…..”.

‘Everyone knows they’re at it. That is all from us’

We are fortunate that Sheikh Mansour bought us prior to ffp, otherwise we'd be in a very similar boat.

We know. They have and are trying their hardest to put us back there.

On the assumption you are a Blue, why are you falling out of love with the game if our club is living that dream and bringing those ideas to fruition?

It is almost like you forget we are accused of almost everything they can think of but other than that City still aren't living the full dream, they can't just go out and outbid anyone for who they really want, even though we can afford to.

The fact the rags a billion in debt can probably be allowed to outbid us because of some weird accounting suggesting they earn more money than us, meaning they can spend more, it is just wrong.

Besides all of that, some of us like to think that football should be a fair fight, it is disgusting that other clubs are being stitched over because the red cartel wants to regain power by any means possible.

I don't think we are guilty of 95% of what we are charged with but I do think they will have something about the Mancini payments and not forgetting the grass being to long, nobody could argue with a tape measure (sad twats)

Football is currently not the game I first fell in love with.

Well ask Aston Villa fans if they're enjoying this season, or Brighton, or West Ham last season.

FFP rules aren't perfect, but I'm not going to shed tears for fans and clubs and owners who were 100% in favour of them when it helped them and now want them gone when it holds them back.

Also this obsession with debt is really weird, it only exists on bluemoon. Spend 5 seconds thinking about it and you'll realise that having a mortgage doesn't mean you're less financially secure than a renter. The important aspects of debt (like interest payments) have always been part of the FFP calculation.

I agree with your mortgage analogy but does carrying £800m debt not constitute a sporting advantage.

 

[foggy1974]

Yeah that would be great, and no club in the world would ever be able to build or expand a stadium again!!!

Like I said...someone with a mortgage is not less secure than a renter just because they have more debt.

And again, like I already said, debt is punished by FFP. The £900m United have paid to service their debt was counted as losses for FFP just as much as spending £900m on players would have.

Debt is a monumental red herring in the FFP conversation, it's never mattered except to City fans who see United having debt and think they're not getting punished enough.

I'm not sure that is true & thought only the interest payments were included in ffp

ffp wouldnt exist

It's not the most optimal system but what would you say is the best way to protect and safeguard against scrupulous owners who will put the club in harms way if allowed unfettered and unchecked spending? You and I are lucky we got Abramovich and Sheikh Mansour which led to decades of wild success. But for every Sheikh Mansour, there are other owners who aren't as good and generous with their money.

There are better ways around it, but it's not about fairness, it's about protecting the revenues of other clubs. If the shoe was on the other foot & Chelsea were getting penalised & points docked for spending less than half of another teams record transfer, you'd be livid.
How many clubs in the past have been known as the bank of England & very few of those football clubs have gone to the wall.
