This is a really interesting interview, clubs like Chelsea & Manchester City is not fair for spending big but little return unlike clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester United.

at loss solely due to the bloody debts those yanks brought in...other than that it's fine as long as we remain competitive on all fronts and winning championsips, and the club won't go "bankrupt" like some ignorants would say even when we are winning trophies

So you're blaming the club owner? Interesting.
Wonder how long does it take to pay back all those debt. Will make the world much better.

oh ok then the owners are not to blame...blame it on SAF, blame it on the players and staff, and blame it on the fans like us becoz we couldnt fork out 500m gbp to pay the debt...pandai...

green and gold looks cool though

perhaps a decade or more, forget how long the pik bonds were due, but they only cover like 200m iirc, im not sure

so we should blame SAF for buying so many players, spend so big, shud blame FA and UEFA for prize money too low, ticket price too low, sponsors too low? Interesting

only ignorant fans who choose not to know the facts behind, and say oh mai, man utd can win because spend big la.
INTERESTING!

blame players mau gaji banyak banyak... sell Rooney pls

i think this is the most important part of the FFP. Good thing they excluded it, all along I thought youth development are included as well =.=

well I would say tough luck for Man City. Just got into the Champions League (thinking it's about time they reinforce their club with better players) and then this FFP comes into play. Let's see how they juggle trophies with revenue

all the best Liverpool hope we finish higher then 4th, quite possibly below Man Utd and Arsenal

This Financial Fair Play thing only takes into account the wage/(footballing turnover ratio) isn't it. Losses due to non-footballing causes doesn't take into account . From the list i only see that Arsenal and Man Utd who spend less than 50% of their revenue on wages

IMO , financial fair play should also involve distributing equal share of wealth across the league so that players don't have to leave small clubs to earn big money with big clubs..

this will improve competition as all competitors can at least actually hoped to win the competition when they start the season.

this will also reduce the dominance of mega-clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.

this will at least give opportunity to fans who loyally support their hometown clubs the hope to achieve genuine glory rather than resorting to be glory-hunters and support the big clubs..

There's no reason to be so angry (wonder why most Mancs fans are even when doing so well already)

At least your debt did not affect your teams performance on the pitch.

I think this FFP is a more direct 'slap on the face' for your city neighbor..

my post is actually direct to jonrwg. it's that glazer who loan a huge amount of money from bank to buy the club (dei, if no money don't beli la). the huge loan leads to huge interest. But jonrwg seems to think differently, and maybe he thinks the owner are not to be blame?

so my INTERESTING actually got 2 meaning

and yes, FFP is more towards city for the recent years. Chelsea shud be better now? not sure about that though

Added on May 13, 2011, 11:42 ammega clubs like real, barcelona and man utd got huge fan based, bigger stadiums that are always full, getting money from sponsors and TV and competition (like always enter CL), won't really be affected

FFP is more like targeting other clubs when they are a normal one, but just because some super super rich suddenly decided that he want's a football club, buy it, and then totally transform it by investing using his own money.

what will happen if the clubs breach the rules?

i actually find the latter quite romantic... how else would you do to turn a normal clubs into a challenger... if you stop people from voluntarily investing into small teams, than the usual rich clubs will become richer and the poor clubs will continue to become poorer..

i dont mind mega clubs earning extra true stadium attendance, merchandising, sponsors and prize money. Buy IMO tv money paid for the competition should be devided equally among the competitors of the competition.

i think this is applied in Germany. Thats why you can see different clubs can contest for the title each year.

ban from playing in CL and europa

EPL tv revenue system is still much better than la liga eh, when real madrid and barcelona can sell their television rights individually (haven't change yet rite?)

regarding the TV revenue to be divided equally among all the teams in the league, it will create even more discussions and arguments lol

yes.. that's explains why Real Madrid and Barcelona is the biggest mega clubs not only in Spain, but the whole world....

If you read the Q&A, a lot of 'Man City' and a little bit of 'Roman' here and there..

It's good in a way they it won't allow the 'sugar daddies' to just buy new toys every season for the club despite them not making much money every year. But from what I read other people discussing about it is that the club can always find loopholes to fix that.

Chill, i tot there were news that someone is gonna take over Man Utd from Glazer?
Just be patient and a brighter day will come.

No ler, Glazers stubborn one, they are still sucking millions and millions from the club every year, to cover some of their debts in US some more...no point they want to sell when they can make fortune$ in the long term...

in name of the competition, both of them contributed a lot actually.. before this, both Chelsea and Man City are practically no-hopers whose only jobs is to fill fixtures so that glory-hunters can watch their glory teams... if more people like that come out to voluntarily lose money so that Stoke and Bolton can win the league, the competition will become more interesting..
