FFP will never work. City is best example using naming rights for their stadium. Etihad giving them £400m over 10years when they are a 1/3 the size of BA and have not made a profit since 2004...

Clubs can bend the rules as well when it comes to over spending, provided "they can show an uptrend in finances or show credible means to pay back debts"

It's loophole galore

Exactly. FFP was introduced to protect the big, rich clubs not punish them.

UEFA need the cartel to keep the cash flowing into the sport, FFP was the drawbridge.

Well done did you watch them get blown away last weekend by Everton ? Also didn't they play a european away game days before they played yous ?

You really are thick as fuck

They only played in Belgium though, the trip to play us was probably longer from Southampton.

Couldn't give a fuck where we finish this season as long as it's 17th or above as it will take a while to get the Pardewing out of our players.
 
They spent over £40m last summer, which seems to get overlooked, and it looks like nearer £50m this summer.

Tight bassa that Ashley mind. Nee wonder they all hate him, what with the transfers and the cheap season tickets, paid monthly and set at a fixed price over ten years. Who would want any of that?

I think even if it "worked" it still promotes and protects the bigger clubs, who make much more money then clubs such as SAFC & NUFC. I think it was one of the reasons that city spent nearly 200m the other season in order to get into the champions league & take the +40m every season.

It's why I'm delighted when Malmö got into group stages last year. Made an absolute mint (hopefully beat Celtic this season). Also worth pointing out they haven't gone made with buying over priced players with high wages. They are a well run club unlike ours. Majority of the board are state business types alongside footballing minds.
 
No idea what he's like, so no idea if he's any good, time will tell, and as I always say when these threads appear I'd say the same if we'd signed him.
 
@GFN_France: Breaking: Florian Thauvin signed for Newcastle without the agent he's under contract with & without consideration of his image rights. (1/2)

"It's loophole galore" is right, but only if you want it to be. If you want to spend nowt you just plead ffp.

Yep.

People banging on about spending £45m (or thereabouts) in an entire window - that's the type of cash Chelsea and City drop on single players now. Some clubs are in a different stratosphere when it comes to spending and neither NUFC nor SAFC will be able to match them for a long time.

We also recouped £33m on two players, one in the winter window of that season and one in the summer window.

We've only recently moved into a transfer deficit in Ashley's whole tenure this summer. Before this window he was around £20m in the black on player trading.

Surely they cannot be free to spend what they want unhindered by so called FFP. Adds to the suspicion that it's all just a smoke screen. If you have a club that's willing to spend shit loads they will go ahead and spend shit loads. What makes it worse is that the Mags have just gone ahead and bought themselves a mid table finish.

They also sold players for big money

something we can't do
 
If we are talking FFP (again) I imagine they are fine on the fees but I'd be interested to see how they are staying within the 4% wages increase.
 
Ashley = learns from mistakes of last season.

Short = learned nowt by looks of it.

Mags will again finish above us.

The defence needs two first teamers (LB and CB) before we bring Thauvin in. Not going to happen before or after though.
