Since Financial Fair Play was introduced, in whatever form it is manifested, it has always been aimed at specific clubs. First Chelsea, then City, now Newcastle. When FFP was initially discussed it was to address debt.

There are better ways to prevent clubs going bust while still allow for upward mobility.
For example, Debt Fair Play combined with Escrow.
Debt Fair play. This target debt, the main cause of most club bankruptcy. Limit each club debt to 60% of its annual revenue (infrastructure debt is not counted)
Escrow. For clubs spending more than 100% of annual revenue, then the part above the 100% will need to put into escrow in case the owner walk away.
This will allow for club mobility and prevent ladder-pulling (GOOD). This prevent clubs going bust (GOOD). This put more money into the football ecosystem/pyramid (GOOD).
Imagine if they voted on these rules in advance. Would they then be quiet?
Oh…
Have always thought that the PL need to adopt a EFL style model. For clubs in league 1 and 2 the owner needs to fund the year cost before the season starts. IMO all PL owners should put money into a holding account that has 2 years of costs, that way if the owner spends huge and then walks away there’s money for the club to balance costs as they try to level themselves out from the owner funding. But then it allows any owner to put as much money as they want in.
I say 2 years of costs because that’ll be 4 transfer windows to raise funds through player sales and decrease the wage bill. Hopefully being able to fund the debt the owners are “walking away from”
Wish this cunt would bore off. Isn’t his son employed by City?
Don’t show this to Villa fans, they’re 1000% certain FFP is only about them
Hahaha no shit financial fair play rules are being aimed at financially doped clubs who spend monopoly money and flout “rules” while everyone else is busy balancing their books
The clue is in the name
I mean…wasn’t that the whole point? To prevent clubs with way more money than others from buying/stockpiling the most expensive players in every window and running roughshod over the league year after year? They were/are “targeted” because they were/are doing this.
This guy is for sure on some payroll because this is not even true
