Exactly. I cant quite imagine them saying to the like of United "nah you cant invest,, you'll just have to go bust"With football facing a big loss in income, no fans in stadium's any time soon, reduced TV income, perhaps reduced sponsorship's. I wonder what uefa and the PL would make of any owners willing to dig into their own pockets to offset these losses. Surely such a gesture should be encouraged and applauded during these troubled times.
Wenger and Taggart then !Me too. He was one of the most vicious at calling for us to be punished and banned. I don't get the love in for this arsehole at all. Sure his teams did on the whole play good football but he was a terrible ungracious loser, he never admitted he saw his side do anything wrong while whining to all and sundry about anything another side did they he considered not fair. An utter wanker.
Alan Boksic was the highest paid player in the Premier League when they signed him. Absolute lunacy.
We kept on hearing at the time that Gibson was the best owner in the Premier League. This was utter bollocks based purely on the fact that he was a local load. And to top it off they had the nerve to criticise foreign owners coming into the PL after they had spunked all their dough and staring into the abyss.
It's a complete car crash of a club. How anybody can hold Gibson up as a model owner is ridiculous.
That seems like a huge leap of imagination tbf.
And he was a lazy ****.You may be right - absolutely crazy money.
We are going to need a match tnreadMcManaman: "I would just like to point something out......
Fletcher: "What?"
McManaman: "Oh, er, anything....its what I do."
Is he unable to control a zip?Guess who this is?
I am in favour of opening things up to more investment, which FFP does not allow for,’ he told L’Equipe. ‘The clubs that dominate Europe today are those that were built and made investments during an era when FFP did not exist. FFP prevents emerging clubs who want to invest from doing so. That is not normal.
‘These rules have fixed a hierarchy, the big historical clubs are bigger and bigger and, obviously, they are all fighting for FFP to be scrupulously applied to others so that competitors can’t come through.
‘Controlling club management rigorously, yes, verifying where funds are coming from, yes, but we need to encourage people to invest in football. FFP must become more flexible and facilitate investment. We must control clubs in their way of doing things but not tell them how to do it. If the club believes that it is not taking any risks with its balance by buying a player for £150million, what is the problem?’
