Spike 12,049 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 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.

SinineUltra 1,170 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 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.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 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.
