Some, (whilst not wishing to be rude), might call that article gibberish and supporting a half baked idea. :) From the article ;

Agreed - Sheik Mansour on the other hand did, resulting in Manchester City having zero debt yet ironically still having to pay a pay a £50 million fine for failing FFP! The owners you mention have loaned millions to their respective clubs landing them with enormous debts - yes they have won...

I don't dispute that incurring large debts can "deliver trophies" - what a system that allows this form of management does NOT do though is keep player costs reasonable, ensure the financial viability of clubs in general nor deliver a level playing field between clubs. TB did indeed loan the...

All, (most?), businesses have trading debts - not all businesses have long term debts incurred to cover trading losses. I see no reason why the Albion would be disadvantaged in comparison to other clubs were a system in force that prevented clubs from continuously trading at a loss and covering...

Now you've lost me EP. In what way was my post gibberish? Do you think the current FFP regulations makes clubs less likely to fail financially, curtail player costs or level the playing field between clubs? - if you do then I'd like to see the evidence for that! ??? Maybe you think the idea...

FFP has tried to be all things to all people and failed completely! It's been 'sold' as a measure to protect the financial well being of clubs - it doesn't. A means to curtail player wages - it hasn't. To level the playing field between clubs - again it hasn't. Had FFP addressed the real...

Last season, (2013/2014), was the first season that penalties came into force for failure to comply with FFP regulations. The figures for that season were presented to the Football League by Championship clubs in December. The Football League stated in December that of those clubs remaining in...

Nowhere near the same amount of protest when FFP was not only 'relaxed' in the Championship but blown wide open. A move supported by both our chairman and chief executive!
