Reporting an eye watering Ł120,000,000 loss for last season! More than has ever been lost by a club! How on earth they weedle themselves out of an FFP points deduction I just don’t know! Football is ruined..

It really makes no sense at all Dave.
You have Prem clubs racking up this kind of debt and then you have the new FFP rules coming in which are even more draconian for Championship clubs making it even more difficult for promoted clubs.
Watching Sheffield United last night and on a number of occasions this seasons, they’re getting completely outclassed.
Last night was like watching a non league club like Stourbridge FC playing against a Championship team in the FA Cup with 11 men behind the ball yet still getting walked through.
I’ve said for a long time now, I have no problem with a club spending billions on players but that this spend should be ownership funded and not debt leveraged against the club.
In the case of Villa, I’d like to know how they stand when it comes to any future relegation, will they be punished for breaking the rules for the season they last got promoted?
Agree with all that👍Quote:

FFP is a mess.
I always thought it was brought into stop the divide between the big clubs spending and the rest. All its done is made it harder for clubs to break into the big 6.
How do those that run football make it to the position they do and get it so wrong every time?
Hear, hear 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Quote:

It’s because those that run football have the best interests of the ‘big’ clubs at heart, those are the ones that rake in the cash; money is all that they are interested in.Quote:

They do all they can to avoid generationally top clubs like Villa, Newcastle and Everton even joining the perceived elite.
They don’t really want Spurs in there because they hate Levy and Joe Green.
Arsenal have all the power players tossing off over them at the moment, they’re welcomed back in.
Man City
Man U
Liverpool
Arsenal
Chelsea
Spurs
THAT is the elite as perceived and really only the top four of that list are their elite elite if you get my drift.
That’s it.Quote:
