I'm amazed that the FFP rules haven't fallen foul of EU competition and free movement of capital laws.
It's naïve beyond belief to think that FFP was genuinely brought in to stop clubs going to the wall. As others have said, if that's the case, why can't gazillionaires just pump loads of their own money in?FFP is designed to make sure the same name keep cropping up at the top of the major leagues so that those leagues can build some brands and make shit loads of money selling viewing rights around the world.The game wouldn't be anywhere near as popular if the top 6 changed every year. And now those clubs are established it's not a massive leap of faith to think that the next thing will be an expansion of the Champions League (in terms of games, not clubs) and a switch of those games to Saturdays and domestic league games to midweek. That way you can time Champions League games at a time the Far East don't have to set the alarm clock for 5am and they'll make even more money.
Next season will be our third under Recon so it doesn't matter
