Yes indeed. We/they would thrive domestically - any further than that would depend upon whether a European Super League was a closed shop or not.

It's a possibility I suppose, but there are not that many teams willing to gamble their futures to reach the promised land of the Premier league at the moment. Most League 1 and 2 and some championship sides are just trying to survive. FFP, whilst not fair, at least is trying to level the...

I do hope that this is not the case under FFP

The money that is recovered in fines is distributed amongst the teams that do comply. So not entirely toothless.

Yes, I know that re promotion. I thought the Watford loophole had now been closed? FFP will be a huge test of the Football Leagues resolve so let us hope that they are up to it.

Nope, not at the moment. Only transfer embargoes until such time as the club can present financial statements that show that it is now FFP compliant.

Which is exactly what those in charge of FFP need to jump on. Let's hope that they do.

That may well be the case, yes. Season Ticket sales were up again though and that is a major chunk of income. As matchday income in season 1 and probably 2 was much higher than they first thought, I would HOPE that they have not taken that into account too much for future budgeting purposes.

I can see why some are pissed off, but then as someone has already said, TB does not have bottomless pockets. Some of these clubs are rich people's play things - ours is not. TB has set us up with a state of the art stadium and bailed us out of the financial shit for years and years but he has...

As no sanctions have been imposed yet under FFP, I don't believe that these clubs have found a way around FFP. I think they are gambling that, when push comes to shove, the football league, or whomever it is that imposes sanctions, will bottle it. Dodgy sponsorship deals etc that some think will...
