Really,i'd say the G14 are doing the cheating,changing the rules to keep them at the top table.
1st it was the CL and now FFP,sad when you consider that a club like the Swamp Dwellers can have so much debt but carry on as normal without punishment.All the debt put on the club,and the Glazers taking £50 a year out of football.
Wrong on so many levels
CTID
Are you Easty's twin
Of course the big boys will do what they can to stay at the top of the tree,,,that's the goal isnt it?
They are football clubs but these days they are a business..the governing bodies kinda want the best of both and the rules they have brought in are poorly thought out but I believe stem from good intentions (Sustainability - as much as you hate us I reckon you would be gutted if wasnt here to hate
...half of the city fans talk more bout utd than city :S)
Look at the PSG fine - they are still splashing the cash. It isnt a punishment or a deterrent to those who are so cash rich.
Players Cheat on the pitch but what you have here is a clubs hierachy deliberately ignoring the rules and and effectively sticking 2 fingers up. At least when a player is caught cheating and given a punishment it has some effect, eg suspension..the fine is no sanction.
Perhaps it was too much to hope a city fan would appreciate the above given their recent volatile history
...if these arabs aint bought you what chance would you have?
As for United people dont understand debt and its relationship to company finance. Whereas I don't particulary like the current level of debt there is nothing wrong with it so your statement is incorrect.
United can service its debt yet as you say the Glazers are still pocketing cash so the club is living within its means - unlike City & the rest. Debt is often considered a 'cheap' source of finance and many PLC's are heavily geared (debt financed - and at the moment debt is cheaper than ever).
I wont bore you with the reasons but these people invest for a return and it's been delivered.
My view is that there's too much money in football in general and ultimately is all of us who are being stung by the greedy b@stards.. Just look at your man Ya Ya - now that is everything that is wrong in football
