I remember those nights under the pier when you said those same words to me *sniff*

Manchester City is sustainable and they deliver trophies.........and they're not Manchester United. What's not to like?

He could have done that anyway. He didn't want to. Neither did Abramovic, Abu Dhabi or the Qataris at PSG.

A Kylie and Jason MEDLEY too

I've heard that story too but it's a myth.

1: Manchester City, Chelsea, PSG, Real, Barcelona have all incurred debts to cover losses, and they deliver trophies. 2: TB initially lent the Albion money to cover trading losses, which he wouldn't be able to do under your half baked scheme.

Because they told him the same as we told Elliott Bennett. We will give you a good pay rise for 4-5 months then allow you to sign for another club and give you a bigger slice of the transfer fee. It didn't help that Oscar Garcia couldn't be found on the day of the transfer and Grabban didn't...

All businesses have debts. Why are you trying to make football clubs different? Under your plan the Albion would be playing non-league at best. You may want that. I don't.

City, PSG, United, Chelsea have huge debts but won't go bust.

1: Current rules allow losses so doesn't particularly reduce the likelihood of financial failure. It's an irrelevance anyway as cash flow is more important than profit. The clubs with the greatest debts ( Chelsea, City, PSG) are the ones least likely to go bust. 2: Player wages are continuing...

Correct, but there never has been one historically either.

It's simpler than that. Clubs can't spend more than 60%/70% of revenue in wages (percentage depends on the division). They have to submit monthly accounts to the league.

I don't want to appear rude, but that's gibberish.

Problem is with 'proper' FFP Manchester United would have won the league for each of the last 15 seasons. Only Arsenal have come close to matching them financially, and that was a good while ago. Chelsea, City and perhaps Blackburn too managed to compete with United due to owner investment...

If no club is going to go bust, is there a problem? You won't find the fans of Chelsea or City complaining about rich owners.I know some of ours whine about TB, but they're either dumb or closet anti-Semitic.

I met one of those on a trip to Dieppe in the early 80's. It was like going down on Rick Stein's bin.

Different rules in League 2

As this only applies to the Champions League, is there something you know that we don't?

Or a bloke who made his money from advertising BRAS

Won't someone think about the lawyers? Range Rovers don't pay for themselves you know.
