Just because it is slightly better than free for all spending doesn't mean it still isn't a joke.

Only at the very top. Burnley and most others, even larger clubs like Sunderland will never have a chance to truly compete.

And it will never help the Celtic and 9 Patsies League.

Valid point. It won't make the competition "fair", but this is at least a good step.

Burnley is an extremely small club who will never amount to anything. It is what it is.

Actually it could help Sunderland with a major factor being the size of their stadium.

Regarding Celtic. The SPL is a joke b/c 3 of its big clubs are in the 2nd division.

I understand what you're saying and think there is value in it. This is the most common argument thrown out in opposition to FFP. But if this is being turned into a FFP thread, I would have to say that these types of clubs have never been competitive at the highest levels in any era, with or without FFP.

So, my question would be: how has FFP really affected the competitive balance of the game?
