@gunnergusty__@Blanch_COYS2@GAVNUFC93@themichaelowen Exactly the issue. Arsenal and Spurs had years to build their revenues under a different landscape. Clubs trying to do the same now face tighter restrictions while chasing a moving target. By the time they reach today’s level, the established clubs may be another decade ahead.
@Blanch_COYS2@GAVNUFC93@themichaelowen I agree, Spurs deserve credit for building their revenue and going through that pain. The issue is others aren’t chasing a fixed target, they’re chasing a moving one. It could take 5–10 years to reach where the big 6 are now, but by then the big 6 may be even further ahead.
@Blanch_COYS2@GAVNUFC93@themichaelowen We actually agree on the principle then. Protect clubs, absolutely, but don’t use “protection” to preserve the financial advantage of the biggest clubs. Have a set of rules everyone can operate under equally, rather than basing spending power on revenues built up over decades.
@Blanch_COYS2@GAVNUFC93@themichaelowen Then why not make the rules fair for everyone? Wage cap? or let every club spend up to the highest-earning club or if an owner wants to commit ��2bn to transfers and wages, make them ring-fence that money so the club is protected if they walk away.
@Blanch_COYS2@GAVNUFC93@themichaelowen You’ve called football a business, but if that’s the case, why the financial restrictions? In any other industry, owners decide how much to invest and are responsible for keeping the business sustainable. You can’t call it a business while stopping clubs operating like one.
@YourSSE surely this is not correct in 10 hours it’s deducted £19.86 that’s basically £40 a day in just electricity that’s £1120 a month!!!! And £13,440 a year just in electricity
