The idea of clubs only being able to spend what they earn (or a certain amount more) is fine - but won't stuff like this -http://footballleagueworld.co.uk/nottingham-forest-set-to-rename-stadium-for-500m-in-mega-sponsorship-deal/ - blow the whole thing sky high?

The FFP might not exist if it wasn't for the likes of Harry Redknapp.

There are rules that sponsorships must be a reasonable price or some such thing. The fact that this deal is more than Arsenal's seems pretty dodgy to me, so I suspect it'll be combed over by the Football League.

The Premier League already has the most evenly distributed wages in European football - that's not even the point of FFP, Harry is talking out of his face/arse/whatever you want to call it.

Maybe if they change the name to 'Sensible Spending Guidelines' (or something equally rubbish) then good ol' 'Arry will understand that FFP doesn't exist to make things equal amongst teams...

A lot of my problem with FFP is the name. It is certainly not Fair Play.

If it were renamed Financial Rules To Stop Up And Coming Clubs With Decent Financial Backing Reaching The Premier League then so be it.

Or, alternatively, how about something like 'Stop Overspending, Going Bankrupt And Blaming Everyone Else Plan'. That could then be shortened to something much snappier like 'SOGBABEEP'...say it out loud, really rolls off of the tongue.

I like to think of it as the Club Loss Interger Total And Reasonable Investment Spend scheme.

Oh gawd - if the word 'reasonable' is in there somewhere it'll be coach and horses time!
