Media Discussion - 2023/24

Another article stating FFP was weaponised to protect the hegemony of the G14 and top table clubs in the Telegraph by Luke Edwards. Claims it is stopping Newcastle from breaking into the top 6. Hawksbee and Jacobs on Talksport this afternoon also admitting this was the case and FFP could be seen as anti competitive.

So after all the shit we have had to take over the years, it seems those lovable Geordies being hampered in their ambitions is beginning to change peoples minds

When the rags want to change it they'll be changes made! No champs league for the scum this season they'll be losing out on 50+m

Fucking insane twat. Klopp 4 major trophies in 8 seasons. Pep 12 major trophies in 7 seasons.

Yeah, but Pep hasn’t “rebuilt his midfield” or had to put up with the constraints of only being able to break world record transfer fees every few years, because his foreign owners are only smaller billionaires!!

Yep pep spent 1.2b 7 years
Klopp spent 800m 8 years
Arteta spent 650m 4 years
Scum 4.5 managers since bacon spent 1.6b

Apparently, according to talksport, all teams are impacted by injuries, "except City, but we can take it anyway".

The hatred behind that. And that's coming from a Chelsea fanboy pundit.

Turn it off.

Is that net, or does it need to be adjusted for the 500M they got for Coutinho and the 300M they spent on the stadium?

It already has
A few years ago when Rags had a lot of 1st teamer contract renewals coming up + they were about to spend heavy again, the PL quietly dropped some aspects of the FFP stuff inc wage increases to enable them to carry on. Stank at the time yet no one questioned it in the media

FFP is needed though or some level of control...remember when we were looking up...''No chance of winning when Chelsk and Liverpool b4 'em smashed out trf records and salaries.'' Made football a non-event re trophies. Control is definitely needed as we will end up like a 1970's league where the richest club dominated all the time....

It was ever thus! The Red Top clubs flourished because they had the richest backers. Blackburn only came on the scene because of a very rich backer. Clubs like Barca, Real, Juve and Bayern will always be backed to the hilt.

FFP or any control is a huge restriction of trade. Theonly way your idea might work if you have a closed shop and franchise system like the NFL.
