    14th - £15.4M

    Definitely worth winning today with FFP.
    I think the club will be keeping an eye on the situation at Everton regards FFP. If this complaint from Burnley and Leeds fall on deaf ears, I think it will be free for all for all clubs to do as they want.
    Saying that though, the way the so called "super league" teams are throwing coin about when supposed to be abiding by FFP rules, I wonder if the scrapping of the super league was on proviso of relaxing the FFP rules for said teams.
    So in a nutshell, fùck FFP as its a joke. The Mbappe deal proves it.

    Exactly this.

    FFP, under the guise of 'fair play' was actually designed to create a glass ceiling which locked out any clubs aspiring to be the best they could be and, crucially, locked in, those already at the top table.

    The PL is basically a serve-yourself buffet where the top six have been allowed to rock up with their own, over-sized plates, hoover up all the best food, leaving scraps for the rest. FFP came along and said 'ok, we'll decide on the size of your plates-they're all going to need to be a lot smaller...but you lads at the top can keep the mahoosive bin lid-sized ones you already have'.

    'What's the you say at the back-you can afford a bigger plate now? Well tough luck, we've set the size of the plate you can have.'

    *sniggers and turns back to the top 6 'don't worry, we'll protect you'.

    Wankers

    It’s unethical and plain wrong. In which other industry are the main players protected from competition? If a business manages to attract large financing to grow, then how can you prevent it?
    If the powers that be really wanted to be ethical and protect sporting integrity then they would apply the rules equally for all. The bigger clubs already have a big advantage due to their popularity, shirt sales, etc. around the world, especially Asia.
    IMO we will get there although it will take some time. My reasoning for this is that football is corrupt as f*ck and we are very rich!!!
