If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
If it’s more financial freedom for everybody, then this could be good news. I think at the very least we will have made a good impression on players with our results this season (unless it goes horribly downhill in the final 3rd).

We have beaten a lot of top teams, may yet (doubtful but possible) still finish top 4 and will likely finish just outside. Will likely have Europe regardless, and we should have more leverage with Carlo at the helm. Hopefully UEFA doesn’t screw us here.
If Usmonov is really lurking and would come in if FFP was punted, leaves pretty much Us, City and Chelsea with proper spending power in England and a handfull of clubs around Europe with decent spending power, everyone else is knackered. They are not going to stop spending by clubs that can afford to spend. We sign harry Kane spurs need to replace him so sign maybe Zaha, Palace need to replace him so look at bottom 5 or championship and so the money goes down the leagues. If Uzzy comes along and says Everton have 500 million to spend in the summer window, we'll be let spend 500 million.. if they curtail spending then clubs will go bankrupt and be gone forever.

Sounds mad even typing it, eh? No slapping money on tables though. 7/10, can do better.

The ability to make something appear believable/true.

This.

 

If you start daft little rumours about, for example, BMD being in trouble, you need to make it plausible.  Once you start banging on about relegation to Division Two you lose any chance of getting a bite.

They genuinely seem to believe Man City have 'saved football' and that it is 'unfair' that clubs have grown incomes through commercial activities etc and by being succesful and spending the money they have earned and generated.

 

They literally seem to believe it is right to just have an owner come in and start throwing £1b around on players, and if it goes belly up there is no comeback on club.

 

Loons.

 

This for example:

 

"I’ll never begrudge other clubs any success. What I absolutely can’t stand though, is the version of ffp as it currently stands, which makes it near impossible for anyone outside the sky 6 to break into it. Unless they’re really lucky and strike gold with some really clever recruitment.

And even then you’ve got the likes of Man U, doing next to nothing year after year since Fergie left and still allowed to spend obscene amounts of money every window because of their Sponsorship income.

“Fair play” my arse."

 

And This:

 

"Make it ironclad that the club is not responsible for any "debts" incurred by the owner in terms of ramming in players who have outrageous salaries or whatever. Make it so that if the owner pulls out, for whatever reason, the club isn't the one left holding the bag of dynamite next to an open fire. Let Usmanov, City, PSG, whomever, spend as much as they want as long as THEY are basically the guarantor. No idea how it would work but FFP made it so you could only get a TINY bit better every year whilst the clubs at the top could get significantly better because they had enormous revenue already."
