All this FFP and PSR stuff is getting boring. Strip away the mythical “cartel” nonsense and it’s simple, City and Newcastle fans want mega rich owners to spend what they like, hence Newcastle fans suddenly becoming City’s unofficial legal team.
United, Liverpool, and Arsenal weren’t handed their position by the Premier League. They spent generations winning trophies, building support, and growing revenues, just as Real Madrid and Barcelona did in Spain.
Do the rules need changing and ambitious clubs have room to grow? Absolutely yes, but rules also exist to stop clubs buying an advantage through inflated or disguised revenues.(City)
And cut the morality act.
Newcastle and Villa fans aren’t leading some great socialist revolution to save football, they want wealthy owners to spend their way to the top. They weren’t hamstrung by PSR for the previous 70 years or more, they were mostly just shite.
Argue for different rules by all means, but stop rewriting 70 years of history and dressing a billionaire’s chequebook up as Robin Hood fighting the cartel.
@jonnyhusband1 Clubs like Bournemouth Brighton and Brentford showing that clubs who used to be stuck down in League 1 can slowly build themselves up to compete. We might see all 3 get in Europe this year. It can be done
@Phil12077259 @Alexkphillips Wales Scotland and NIR are in the red when it comes to the deficit. Only the South East and East england are net contributors in the UK. England would be better off without all 3 and the 3 nations would have to figure out how to fund their huge tax burden without Westminster
@AndyInLondon1@GBPolitcs Because they don’t see private ownership as legitimate. To them, they are entitled to everyone else’s resources, doesn’t matter how you got them
@tabletop_cave@FPL__Raptor Sesko has been great. Yoro underwhelming but still got potential. Granted the other 2 are poor. But you’ve conveniently left out Cunha, Mbeumo, Lammens, Dorgu, Mazraoui, Heaven.
