Any thoughts on Blues

[Omegstrat6]

Thats one excellent point and in many instances it pays to cheat!

Certain clubs (I'm sure we all know who they are!) always seemed to avoid appropriate punishment for breaking the previous financial fair play rules and this latest "punishment" of Leicester isn't much different. Apparently they over spent by some £20.8m over the 2022-24 three year assessment period. How many decent player acquisitions is that worth? Got to be valued at more than 6 points.

With the huge amounts of money involved in the upper tiers of football these days it's small wonder that a level of corrupt practices become accepted but the amount of debt built up by clubs (some £3.6 billion at the end of the 2023 season for the Premiership alone) whether through improving grounds of players wages is bordering on obscene.

Overt greed entered the game some decades ago now and it has been allowed to flourish which is surely detrimental to the game as a whole as clubs have to spend too much in order to compete. More than a few established clubs, which have long been traditionally important to the culture of their communities, have been faced with the potential dire financial consequences of this situation.

Psr pressure is now a joke if you only get deducted 6 pts for a massive overspend.i wonder how many clubs will take the reins off after Leicester pathetic punishment.

Exactly, we should have kept our best players and ignored the farcical PSR stuff. Had we done so, taken the penalty, we would be no worse off points-wise and we would have a better team.

Many turn to non league Omeg like Folkestone with Tipp - because the players give sweat for the money - it?s a community feel - fair prices - more attacking football - and no idiots at these games.

Put it into perspective how can garbage players like Maja, Dike and Wallace earn more wages in 3 weeks than an average surgeon! It?s obscene and why many walk away from football now.

Most footballers can?t even be a rsed to sign little kids autographs in this day and age. Many slated Lai for good reason but at least he bought all the away supporters at Palace a scarf and later a free pint. What?s Patel given the supporters and no he did not buy the club because he?s a saviour or loves West Brom - he bought the club at a knocked down price to make money! Nothing wrong with that but all this b ollox about saving the club blah blah. Just like Sheffield Wednesday any club with history will always be saved from going bust and many times come back stronger from administration when creditors have been screwed!
