This more for me put into perspective how idiotic Blackburn's new owners are compared to Walker.

Gang of Four is a brilliant band. Just thought I'd mention that...

I've been saying this about FFP for a while now. It's basically designed to protect those clubs who have big existing revenue streams from the competition of a club who receives outside investment DESPITE these big clubs like United having received massive investment decades ago. It's massively unfair all round and designed to create a closed shop at the top of the game.

I don't particularly like Samuel but I'm glad he's broken this story.

So only solution - if this does pass, highly doubt though- is to build a bigger stadium / expand Stamford Bridge but not lower ticket prices just to get in revenue. I get why clubs with big stadiums and/or very low owner investment would like the idea, but it is very harsh on others and really cements the top clubs without others having a chance.

Saw this. Disgraceful, I genuinely never thought I'd see the day Liverpool, Man United & Arsenal get into the same bed with each other. I really do hope the other clubs see this for what it is and vote against it!

As for Wenger and his "ticket prices pay wages", do me a favour.
