The only way to save football is to put in a salary cap...Whats the point of of arsenal or even the other 18 teams to even play in the leauge if ManCity will just continue to buy every good player out there.. Why not just give the trophy to Mancity right at the start of the season. The purpose of sports is to win and if there is no fair possible way to win because ur team doesnt have the money, then whats the point of playing.
Salary caps may help but I dont think they work, clubs with money can just find more inventive reward systems for which to entice players
Peter, did Stan put you up to this?Originally Posted by forsberg2110
ps - I hope you know wtf I'm talking about.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
But why do we need to grasp it? Do you get brownie points for one instead of the other? In history, a title counts as a title, no matter where the money came from, unless it was proven to be illegal, or unless there were other illegal dealings going on such as the Serie A match-fixing scandal which stripped Juve of 2 titles and relegated them.
So far, however distasteful, both Man City and Chelsea's title wins have been just as legal as Man U's, whether one chairman had 800 million to spend or 80 million. I've long since got used to it and I'm not really that bothered by it. It is what it is, and while its legally allowed by FIFA/UEFA, whinging about it makes us look bitter and envious, even though we may not be.
See i don't get this, we act like a different team was winning the League every season before The Arabs came to City.
The same thing some of you are saying about City, other smaller clubs fans have been saying about Us, United, and all the so-called big teams for years.
Cant remember when we or Man Utd have ever spent hundreds of millions of someone elses money to buy the league
Are you saying that the fair play rules wont change things? I think they will. Clubs cant make losses like before. And Man City are gonna make huge losses if they pay half their team £10million a year.
Fair Play wont fix anything.. Because my understanding fair play means you cant spend more then you earn. So the big clubs earn more money then small teams like Wolves, So there is always going to be a divide. I rather see teams like Stoke, Everton etc battling for the title then knowing before the season starts who is most likely going to win. Whats the point of playing if you know you will never win the championship..
I really think its retarded when teams are content with finishing 4th last. In north America if you finish 4th last its a embarrassment , but in English football if you finish 4th last you have a celebration... Football is really fucked beyond repair
FFP is great rule for the big clubs, it essentially prevents whats happened with PSG, Chelsea, Malaga and City
Yes we never had rich sugar daddies, but we where and still are more well off than other teams. And if we didn't have the money, we wouldn't have won anything.
Maybe i'm from a different planet or something, but in my life of watching football, i've never known of this time when money didn't at least guarantee a good chance of success.
The thing I ask anyone who goes on about this "buying the title". Is, what is the alternative in this day and age for clubs who are not part of the elite, who want to be part of the elite. Because rising up organically ain't happening today.
When the gap between the elites and the non elites is so big. And it's almost a curse for a non elite team to have a successful season or two, cause you know eventually, you are going to lose your team.
