What I don't understand is the paradox that the entire football pyramid will be shackled with this wages v turnover ratio yet the PL teams have a massively overinflated income thanks to obscene TV money.

FFP is a total farce dreamt up by monkeys on a typewriter.

Just stop all TV money and let football level itself out again

Man City will be sponsoring their bogs soon, just to generate extra spending power.

Hopefully they'll be too busy running their new MLS team.

Aye you did read it as I remember that one as well. Something about restrciting earnings which isn't allowed under EU law.

(In theory) They are restricting earnings to what a club can afford and avoiding clubs going into toxic debt. The only legal challenge I would have thought would be if players were forced to take paycuts as a result. Otherwise it's up to them whether or not they want to sign up to the terms of a contract.

There are plenty of reasons to be against FFP. Bloating wages of players already earning bazillions is not.

It would appear that he feels it will restrict agents incomes and clubs will not be able to challenge the big ones if a rich person buys them.

I wish the majority of agents would go the way of the Dodo.

Too bloody true.

Poor old agents. : rolleyes:

[RoverScot]

I think they should concentrate on stopping clubs having fraudsters, money launderers or agents as owners. Would fit within EU law better than FFP which goes against the restriction of trade laws.

I'm going to put this in here.

Number 127 in Global Pay Charts. Way to go Venkys!

Having said that I suppose it is about average really - just didn't expect us to be that high globally.

But it won't. It's not been a level playing field since the early 60's.... just a procession of the usual suspects.
