He's the only journalist to write informative, fair and balanced articles since our take over in 2008. Well done once again Mr Samuel by far my favourite journo.

Who'd have thought it would be Samuel, Daniel Taylor and Henry Winter of all people fighting our corner.

It's good that some of the better journalists are seeing FFP for what it is, an "elite club protection scheme" is a great phrase, and Mouriniho for what he is. It's a shame he writes for the Mail because I do enjoy the more reasonable pieces he writes which are not often found elsewhere.

I'd raise one issue with Martin Samuel's argument. He basically says that Abramovich did the same thing with Chelsea, so shut the fuck up Mourinho. This is not true. Chelsea FC might be debt free but Fordstam Ltd, Chelsea's holding company, owes Abramovich a billion quid. Now it's quite possible that Abramovich never intends to collect on that debt but it is still owed in theory whereas it's all equity with us.

I think any fan who supports FFP is a hypocrite. I doubt their mouths wouldn't water on the idea of having an owner who actually puts money into the club. The rags are a perfect example.

Yunno what? I wonder if that's what's really sticking in their craw. The 'free'ness of the money the sheikh trickles in.
