[@Cynthia20043]

Simons an elitist bitter old man, who can’t accept football has evolved and it’s not just about “legacy clubs” anymore

[@creasicle]

​@@Cynthia20043you call that evolution? I call it corporations turning football clubs into the PR arm for their morally dubious, planet-destroying, politician-lobbying, tax evading greed. Filling their stadiums with corporate partners shovelling down canapes and veuve clicquot while their loyal fans have to enter ballots for the chance to buy a ticket. If that's evolution to you, I'd hate to see what your idea of the game betraying every value it was founded on and what that would look like.

[@IggyGoesPop666]

@@Cynthia20043 I don't agree, as Jordan speaks a lot of sense about this issue. He has rightly pointed out that all of the Prem League clubs signed up to these spending restrictions but some of them ignored it. He has said on a number of occasions that he doesn't actually agree with these rules but they are what they are and that all of the clubs need to abide by them or get together again and change them.

@@findingaether those players won't be on the market any time soon with their contract lengths, because they'd be unlikely to get what they paid back, and under FFP they need to be a few years down the line for an 'acceptable' loss to be made as I understand it. The most likely players to be sold are those that came through the academy or were bought for lower fees that might be sold for more. They have to make £100m profit on that basis by the end of June if I remember right.

Forget P&S punishment I want to hear what Stafan thinks about how Chelsea are going to cope over the next 7-8 years with the consequences of their £1bn spree. It seems to me that Chelsea overspent but thought that they'd bring enough money in to cover it, but as we've seen they're actually doing far worse. It looks like they'll finish in a similar position to last season, meaning no european football next season either. It seems like they could be in a vicious cycle, not being able to sell these players but those players not capable of more than mid-table football. With the new PL TV deal coming in, for less than previous seasons and combined with inflation on players transfer fees it looks like Chelsea's clever move is going to be a stone around their necks.

After Everton's appeal, I wouldn't worry about breaking FFP if I were Chelsea. 6 point deduction is hardly a deterrent. I wouldn't be surprised if most clubs regard FFP punishments as rather toothless now and so deliberately go out of their way to break it in order to strengthen their squads with better and more expensive players. Just factoring in the loss of 6 points on appeal as part of the risk factor.

Stephan is an excellent guest, clear and concise explanations.

[@John...44...]

​@kunimitsune177 they do, kind of. They are allowed to lose less money than long term prem teams. I think forest can only lose £60ish mill over 3 years. Logic being championship clubs have lower outgoings so any season spent in the championship allows for less loss per year

[@paulie-g]

@@John...44... I would argue that promoted teams need an additional allowance so they can spend and give themselves a chance of staying up. Unfortunately, since those things have to be voted on by the 20 clubs who are already in the PL, it'll never get passed. We're likely to see a big problem with promoted teams' chances over the next few years until they come up with a good way to deal with the problem. If I were them, I'd try eg signing undervalued players from minor markets, possibly in Jan before promotion, to get them used to the English game, possibly as loans with obligation to buy if promotion is confirmed. If Brighton can sign Enciso, a top Championship club can sign a player like him.

Maybe mega rich owners don't care, but if you start selling players for significantly less than you bought them for, or what they are worth, then you start to dig yourself deeper in the hole FFP wise. Basic example would be buying a player for 100mill, and having to sell that player for 50mill.

Hall doesn't even start for Newcastle and has barely played so I doubt Newcastle will buy him after his loan

Already have limited patience for these rules but if Chelsea ‘pass’ this after the spending they have done then there is no credibility for these rules. Absolutely reprehensible club that got away Scot free after Abramovic to just immediately pivot to dropping ludicrous fees on players. If they get away with it then it just exposes these rules for what they are - protect the Super League 6 at all costs.
