[Archived] Say What

As many allude to- how can it be FAIR that clubs that have more fans with sky packages will get more live games? It's not fair. It's extra earnings that can make a difference to your season. Unfortunately- TV is the biggest earner, and that's where all the problems stem from.

I think we'd all prefer the current scenario to that of QPR- who will either have to pay a fine, go out of the league or use courts to change rules.

It's easy to moan about how "FFP is a convenient excuse" but it'd be even easier if we'd spent millions more only to come straight back down with a 50m fine.

Also comparing us to other clubs with debts; ie Bolton, it's a waste of time. They've accumulated debts from owner loans over a long time- if he decided to write those off- they'd be in embargo and fined in no time at all. Our debts are similar but accumulated much quicker due to the obvious misdeeds that went on... The agent sleeping at The training center..

Our anger should be pointed at the rules in this case. We all know why the league wants to stifle investment- to stop clubs racking up lots of debt. Problem is- it's not orchestrated properly as (like us) it's easy to fall foul of if you drop from the prem with an infestation of rats earning 10%.

If the league actually tried to prevent the shysters getting involved, do we think transfer fees, wages and agent cuts would be so inflated?

Football has suffered from a gravy train brigade for over 20 years. We are a recent victim- pointing blame inwards seems ridiculous when the problems all stem from a bigger problem with the sport.
