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

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.

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.

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?

Originally posted by bakes8 View PostTo 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.

How the hell can FFP be fair if one club can spend £200M and another is not be allowed to spend the same? Not that all can spend the same? Or will be able to due to maybe their owners not being that wealthy.
I understand that we don't want a club/clubs to go to the wall, but if it's solely the owners debt, their money that they spend and not to the detriment of the club, i.e. raised against the clubs assets i.e their grounds/ training grounds, whether it be £100M or £1B who are people to say where and what they do with their money,
You will still have the divide you have now because some clubs have richer owners who won't mind spending their money and taking on the debt for success, FFPt was a totally flawed idea,
Basically I think UEFA and the FA> bought it in to try and stop a few clubs just running away with things, i.e. Chelsea when they spent their way to success and now the likes of Man City and PSG with their untold riches/wealth,
It happened when Jack Walker done the same at Blackburn, Man Utd did the same they out spent everyone
It's a fact of Football that most of the times the big rich clubs will have most of the success, but on the odd occasion there will be a club who gets promoted or wins a title,(Leicester)
And if a club has a sugar Daddy who's prepared to do it ( like we did for a short while) so be it. the likes of Chelsea Arsenal & Man Utd are moaning now is Because Man City have taken it to another level with their spending power,
