The Athletic has another article explaining the difference between us and the Everton/Forest situations. Too bad the trolls won’t read it or understand the difference!
You are right mate. In addition, football is about competition, FFP limits the competition by cementing the financial strength of the clubs, therefore it is per definition bad for football. What is bad for football is also bad for Everton. QED, I do not buy that he did what was best for his club.Do you not think a huge part of owners like Kenwright voting for FFP was to limit ambition for his own club ? By introducing FFP it meant he didnt have to stick his hands in his own pocket and could turn to the fans and say, “sorry we cant spend because of FFP”.
Id say in a lot of cases it wasnt about doing the best for their clubs , more themselves.
If Kenwright was such a big Evertonian, would he not want a rich sheik to come in and transform his club and its area? He had that chance and greed and narcissism meant he stopped himself doing so.
I am thinking that they were required to 'give assurances' regarding pursuing a certain agenda on behalf of certain clubs and they were too professional to do soIt’s no wonder that previous successful candidates turned down their job offers for Masters’ role; although if you step back it’s actually pretty astonishing that people go to the trouble of applying for a job like that, with all the prep involved, all the emotional energy that’s required to be part of that process, with all the opportunities the role could present, and after being offered the role they turn it down like it’s working a few weekend shifts part time at the local.
Presumably they sought assurances that were not forthcoming.
That’s exactly what I was suggesting.I am thinking that they were required to 'give assurances' regarding pursuing a certain agenda on behalf of certain clubs and they were too professional to do so
fergie's " there is no value in the market" ( zab/vinny/hart-13.5m) got him a seat upstairs on more money than when he was managing...a beautiful move ( for a socialist) to be honest.Do you not think a huge part of owners like Kenwright voting for FFP was to limit ambition for his own club ?

Delusional.
Look at this gem. Saved it and whip it out when they say it’ all about sustainability.
Agree 100 per cent. Perhaps Masters is even more stupid than anyone thought was possible. He and the PL board started off with the intention of trying to avoid an independent regulator but the way they have handled the City allegations, and now Everton and Forest, is the biggest possible advert for independent regulation. English football is a multi billion pund industry and the PL leaders are not qualified for the role they have been given.
