How is FFP a fair playing field. Had it been introduced before the introduction of the prem and CL then I'd agree. Or even after the debacle at Leeds, I'd say it was a fair point. But not when 4 clubs were already making a minimum of 50% more than any other club in 2011. FFP stops businessmen investing in smaller clubs, and thats not good.So if the Qatar Tourism Authority bought Liverpool for example and bid £350 million for KdB & Foden combined and they left being paid £500,000 a week each you'd be happy?
FFP might be flawed in it's present form but there does need to be at least an illusion of a fair playing field.
He plays on the other side of the pitchVilla have just announced the £33 million signing of Emiliano Buendia. Jack's replacement then....
Bar your owners ours are near the top for wealth. They have no interest in cashing in on players and want to spend when values good to break into and stay in Top 6.
If we flop this season then maybe Grealish thinks about moving but right now we're heading in the direction

Not really. He’s played both sides this season, and played a lot at number 10 too. He plays anywhere up top. I live in Norwich so try to watch them when I can. He’s great.He plays on the other side of the pitch
Really good signing for Villa, Buendia is a cracking little player. Norwich are fucked alreadyNot really. He’s played both sides this season, and played a lot at number 10 too. He plays anywhere up top. I live in Norwich so try to watch them when I can. He’s great.
So there is a release clause
No we wouldn't be happy but FFP doesn't even create "an illusion of a fair playing field" - what it does do is protect certain clubs (we all know which ones) from their poor investment decisions while ensuring that other clubs continue to suffer from periods of failure on the pitch and their consequent inability to invest. And these were the coldly calculated intentions of FFP.So if the Qatar Tourism Authority bought Liverpool for example and bid £350 million for KdB & Foden combined and they left being paid £500,000 a week each you'd be happy?

I’d rather that than the current arrangements whereby they could go into a massive amount of debt in order to do what you suggest and that would somehow be fine, at least according to the rules.So if the Qatar Tourism Authority bought Liverpool for example and bid £350 million for KdB & Foden combined and they left being paid £500,000 a week each you'd be happy?
