Honestly it's the absolute pits. Arsenal and Spurs can spend 150m yet we're the problems.

 

It's anti competitive and you'd never get away with it in business. Football is absolutely dead and the gap is just getting bigger.

It forces it to the point where you might as well just have a closed shop breakaway European league. Exactly what they all want and probably what UEFA would be happy with so long as it’s under their banner,

Theyve basically just given them what they wanted anyway. We've had our fun now but **** me what a farce its becoming.

Our owners are putting in the infrastructure to compete, but it will take time.   The conveyor belt of talent from the academy is one way and the other is to increase the stadium with the hotel and shops etc.

That will merely cement out place in the middle 8 clubs below top six 

top six will surely be out of our reach

This anger against ffp we need to harvest as a club and a fan base to create a siege mentality. Us against the corrupt premier league. Unless we have something like that to galvanise us I fear the club and fans will sleep walk towards relegation and before we know it it will be too late.  Stoke City are the perfect example of what could happen.

FFP is the reason Chelsea can spend so much this window, they had a transfer ban, sold hazard. And the following season spent very little relatively. Now they are reaping the rewards.

 

With the owners being so close to Chelsea and their board, I would imagine they are trying to follow the same model. It will be slow, and take years. But we aren't anywhere near as big as these clubs, so we have to build another way

nett spend since 2017.  Our issue is the size of the contracts we’ve given out across too many players 
 

1. Manchester United – £479.04m
2. Manchester City – £424.81m
3. Arsenal – £334.73m
4. Chelsea – £240.56m
5. Tottenham – £231.60m
6. Aston Villa – £221.24m
7. Everton – £219.25m
8. Newcastle – £217.32m
9. Liverpool – £199m
10. West Ham – £196.91m

It is very frustrating how skewed football is towards the bigger clubs. Closed shop is the best phrase. The authorities and hierarchy probably shat themselves when we won the league. Despised it no doubt as it meant less money for their beloved big merch clubs.

I don’t think they shat themselves when we won the league. They shit themselves at the power of the big clubs. They’ve been bowing down to them for years now and it won’t stop until the major leagues in Europe are nothing more than a precession. Somewhere along the way someone has got have have the balls to stand up to them, and say enough is enough, and start to take the power and influence away from them. If they threaten to break away then so be it but make it known that they will not be allowed to re-enter any domestic competition and any player will not be eligible for international call up as it will come to a point where everyone else will be better off without them and their anti competition ways. 
 

Following that there should be salary caps, transfer fee caps and the removal of agents and their power and influence.

are managers salaries included in the ffp wages ratio? because if so gerrim out!!!! But if not…. gerrim outt nicely! 

Yes it is, as would any severance package.

 

Although being as it’s being assessed on a calendar year basis, getting rid now wouldn’t be such an issue on the severance package

We can’t beat it but we can fight it.

the club is trying to build infrastructure to increase revenue and help youth development but that is a slow process and the big clubs will increase revenue as well.

what we need is clever recruitment and underdog football! We need a manager who knows what we are and respects us. Get the charlatan out!!!!!

If we have the cash to pay him off and it’s genuinely the new FFP they’re worried about rather than the old then it’s a no-brainer to pay him off before January.

I know we broke the system in 2016 but if you look at Forest for example from a neutral perspective, there is a lot of excitement among their fans but whats the best they can hope for long term even with loads of investment due to new FFP rules? A cup and the odd 6th or 7th finish but mainly premier league stability?

 

I dont think its hyperbole to say they'll never finish top 4 or challenge for the league, no one else will bar the Sky 6 + Newcastle will.

 

Sad that football fans cant dream that something that is a remote possibility is now impossible.
