If you let anyone spend what they want you'll have far more Bury's and Bolton's than you will Man City's ...and we’d have never got to have watched Juninho, Emerson, Ravanelli, Boksic etc. Link to post Share on other sites

Your free for all might let middle tier premier league clubs sign some exciting names, but you're also going to have many more league 2 and league 1 clubs going bust trying to climb the leagues.

Borodane 6,301 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 31 minutes ago, BillyWoofs_shinpad said: My argument is that it’s never going to be fair if anything, just a way of allowing the bigger clubs to spend more money. If there was a draft system or a spending cap then that would be fair, but there isn’t. Fining clubs and docking points is counter productive, it really isn’t the best way of ensuring that clubs survive, in some cases it helps to drive them out of existence. A club like Rangers can gradually recover due to its massive fan base, but look at Portsmouth, they have struggled and they were an established premier league club. I just don’t think that docking points helps clubs survive, which is surely the intention of FFP. Let’s either have a free for all or a salary cap, the FFP system is subjective and intrinsically flawed. Portsmouth didn’t land in their mess because of a points deduction. They landed in the mess because they spent beyond their means for too long and then had a crap owner who didn’t give a toss. The exact things that FFP is trying to avoid. I’m sure most Pompey fans would have liked to have FFP in force those years ago. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,641 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) Slightly nervous again, even though it functionally doesn't change too much for us. Brentford fully deserve promotion though. Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,047 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I am glad Brentford are going to be promoted as the way their club has been run is awersome they fully deserve it. Be nice for them to open their new stadium in the Prem. Link to post Share on other sites

It's a bit of a sucker punch for them! Link to post Share on other sites
Tobermory 101 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I hope Brentford capitalise on West Brom's failure to win tonight. I also hope Gibson looks at the way they run their club and tries to emulate it. Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,496 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Not a great start to Boro weekend. If Wigan win v Charlton and Luton win v Hulltomorrow and we lose then i think it goes to last game of season for us? And them 3 scenarios are more than possible imo Link to post Share on other sites
