Derby went into administration which is a clear breach — you honestly think a club with nearly £400 million losses and no whiff of administration is a problem but if it lost £315 million it’s solvent?
Have Derby been liquidated? Must have missed that.
You complained that a great historic club like Derby was being treated unfairly-but you want to keep a system in place that basically gives clubs 3 choices:
Find a tycoon who's happy to write off what he puts in
Gamble
Spend within your means and hope for the best
Er no I didn’t - if a club goes into administration it’s a clear breach and a points penalty can be applied.
FFP rules are subject to accounting and interpretation and are bollocks. There is far less chance of Stoke City going into admin say than Luton. Far less. So what’s the point you are making?
That something needs done to fix English football's problem with the 3 way choice that most clubs in the top 3 tiers face.
don’t agree
Yeah it’s going just swimmingly how it is
Well yes I’d say it’s no worse than other sectors

Hasn't it always been thus?
And that includes us, we'd still be Southern league without our very own tycoon.
The issue is more the change from club to business. If somebody wants to pump a mass of cash in they're welcome, they just shouldn't be able to ask for it back!
But there isn't in terms of clubs being bumped up a level, or not.I think there’s a clear difference between the pre and post Abramovich eras. As Wenger said, it was much easier for him to do what he did when there weren’t any other mega rich owners to compete against. Now it’s almost a condition of entry to have one.

But it isn't primarily because of the annual losses clubs make, the real issue is the distribution of revenue in favour of the top 20 clubsThe system is a house of cards

Sod the meaningless games, give them all early leave. Let Man City play Liverpool, Spurs play Arsenal, and Burnley play Leeds. All on neutral grounds. Make it a bit interesting.
Is anyone else finding this EPL final day fairly underwhelming?
Be disappointing if Burnley come down after Everton and Leeds flirting with it
Well he's certainly playing his part - unbelievably, so far Liverpool not accepting the gift.Gerrard on course to win his first title for Liverpool
