POLL: Is Financial Fair Play actually 'fair'?

[QPRDave]

To ensure a level playing field there should be a wage cap and spending limits introduced to all clubs in the relative divisions. Such as happens in both forms of Rugby.

Of course, there should be a limit on loan players and size of squads as well. Chelsea having 60 players out on loan is completely absurd and another examle of how big clubs get bigger and little clubs get crumbs. A scandal.

Sorry mate, I'd not realised reading was such an issue for you. In future I'll keep my replies to you shorter.

Maybe just two words, Tarbs?

[lymehoop]

Clearly a corrupt plan to keep the bigger sides at the top and on the gravy train.

disgraceful.

very much like the EU

[Sleeping Giants]

Thought it would be worth taking a poll, as there seems to be some differences of opinion on the forum lately.

Not easy, but try to answer as objectively as possible.

The sanctions against us aside - that is a separate issue. The question here is are FFP rules in fact 'fair' or do they still advantage the bigger clubs?

Not fair at all, I know Man City generate much much more income than us but are they fitting within the rules spending 100s of millions on players in a transfer window?...Owners should be allowed to pump money in so long as the club isn't running at a loss including the owner's investment.

[klonk]

Depends what we mean by fair really...

does ffp mean that everyone has an equal chance of success? No... it gives a clear advantage to clubs that generate higher levels of income.

does ffp mean that clubs can’t gain an unfair advantage by spending way beyond their means? Yes. (Sort of at least).

ffp is far from perfectand could be hugely improved... part of that needs to be a better understanding of what it’s actually all about.

So fining clubs that have overspent and thus sending them further into debt is 'the right intention'? It'utter madness and it's only intention is to keep the bigger clubs at the top and keep the gravy train going.

No I said it has the right intentions to make clubs spend within their means.

[bakes8]

I think it has the right intentions ie. make clubs spend within their means. But what it stops is ambitious owners who want to turn a club around by spending a few quid. It therefore makes it more difficult to challenge the established big clubs

Heaven forbid we should have an interesting, reasoned, relevant to Rs discussion about a football related matter rather than rant on about shi'te that no one really gives a toss about.
