This and the keeping clubs out of financial problems are good things.

I am rethinking the whole thing.

Appreciate the good discussion.

The immediate reaction against FFP from so many is that it's clear the main reason FFP passed was that it benefits the richest traditional powers. Anything that doesn't has little to no chance of happening (just like in any political space).


In this sense, FFP is a bit of a farce insofar as it claims to really be for the "little guys" when fans of the little guys (like QPR currently) dream of a third world oligarch making them Chelsea.

There is also very serious doubt about how evenly the rules will be applied.

I agree with many of your reservations if for no other reason than that it's funny to see the old guard clubs freaking out over the rise of traditionally mediocre ones like Man City, Chelsea and PSG.


However, it's not that the existence of those clubs helps anyone else either. Better the devil you know, I suppose.
