Financial Fair Play

[Pitre]

So. Everton have been charged again, and Forest charged too. Presumably a points deduction may be incoming?

I truly feel for the fans of those teams, but this is designed to level the playing field a bit amongst similar-sized clubs so arguably those involved are seeking to gain an advantage over the rest of us (I'm a Palace fan).

But....... what's happening about those allegedly huge offenders, Man City?

.....Loading a club with massive debts (untouched by FFP) to allow you to free up funds to spend on the club could be seen as sports-washing as well.

Very true.... Man Utd? Brighton? Chelsea?

Just heard that Palace have been investigated for FFP.

Not spent enough for the past five years running and will now be given 10 points.

Quite disturbing that City have just had a meeting with the U.K. government ,when the government was pushed to explain why they refused to reply.
Now if one was a sceptic one may look at the orders a certain country gives to the U.K. and wonder if the U.K. government will put pressure on the premier league to ensure some very lucrative contracts are not cancelled and placed with other countries .
But I’m sure it was just a genuine friendly chat and probably has nothing to do with anything given the government often has meetings with individual clubs .

Don't think you need to be a sceptic....

Sponsorship shouldn't be permitted from any source associated with the club's ownership and to a maximum amount only.

Well clearly Tottenham are aren’t they? They have worked to get to that level, One of the clubs that have done things properly.

And were it not for various clubs cheating they may have even won something, ever thought about that?
