That's the problem mate, it is a game. They do a golf trip to Tenerife every summer where the likes of Thompson, Stelling, Kamara, Quinn and that big daft Scottish one who's name I can't remember attend.I never do not done so for ages I know their game
Preaching to the choir but I think there is an argument to made that, as an official partner, you would at least get fair, If not favourable treatment.
Maybe you have a point but where sales are to be made fairness in all other sectors of business evaporate so why should football be any different ?
Perhaps the example of Uefa highjacking the word ''fairness'' to implement FFP (ie a cartel via a barrier to entry) shows how football can be hypocritically exploited..
Oh, I was not making a point about fairness but about business investment. If you have provided money to an advertiser you would expect to receive adverts that reflect favourably on your business.
As far as FFP is concerned, I am an econonic policy analyst, so I've saved the forum my musings on that subject to avoid other posters fleeing in boredom.
I didn't intend to diminish the value of your views, just explain that I have studied FFP and will refrain from going to far into a discussion of it, especially given the subject of the thread.Apologies if you are professionally qualified to analyze things but presumably you look at the way others do things then analyse this data ?
In what way do you feel that my views are not of value then ?
Danny Murphy with a piss poor theory why Mica Richards failed at City. Not the fact he was made of glass but the fact that City decided to go spend hundreds of millions of pounds on players.
Did he not lose his place in the team to Zabba who signed before the take over and has developed into one of the best full backs on the planet during his time with us?
My recollection is that Richards didn't fail at City. He had several good seasons as first choice RB including 2011/12 when we won the prem. He was also in the FA cup winning team. It went wrong for him when he got injured at the Olympics and by the time he was properly fit Zaba had made the RB position his own. He played nearly 200 times for City so there's no way anyone should say he failed.Danny Murphy with a piss poor theory why Mica Richards failed at City.
