The financial rules have never applied to the chosen few, ladder pulled up and nobody can compete.
It's all a farce IMHO.

The Premier League is the true super league.
Let's face it, barca is shit. The entire italian league is shit. The french league is shit. The germans may or may not be interested but its a one horse race over there anyway so their rags are pretty happy hoovering up all the german money and talent. Only Madrid (because of their weather if you've not heard) deseerve the super league.
Three options remain:
1. Invite Madrid to join and make the Premier league a 21 team league for a season or two
2. Kick out the red tops so they can join the second super league and leave the rest of us alone to maintain the success of the Premier League and keep it exciting.
3. Wait for Perez to be out of the picture for Madrid as he is the mouthpiece of A22 sports.
what a farce

And, that’s the business where those that have the most money look after themselves, whatever is detriment to the rest. Sky pay the most, they get the majority say on how it’s branded. Their priority clubs will then have the majority say in how the PL is run.It's just a business that stops fair trade and investment. Can you imagine Tesco being allowed to tell Aldi how much they can invest, so they cant beat Tesco. That's how the pl is
That would be seen as unfair trading and running a cartel
None of these people are in it for the sport, it’s all about the business and maximising profits/dividends, and they’ll keep doing so as long as they are allowed to get away with it.

Do we though? Football survived quite well for more than a century without it. There have arguably been more financial 'issues' since the introduction of FFP than there ever was before
Honestly, I dont know :)
I suppose you have to balance owners going into debt (either to compete or because they are incompetent) with giving clubs the opportunity to develop with stopping the richer clubs just getting richer and richer and better and better. It's supposed to be a sport as well, not just a business.
