The "fair play" element isn't really that though is it? As far as i can see it is the epitome of the ladder being pulled up by the premier league and then the magic circle within the premier league by the "Sky Six".Take Chelsea, a team with a capacity smaller than us [41,400] but 2016 Total Revenue £335mof which Commercial revenue £122mBroadcasting revenue £143mMatchday revenue: £70mOutgoings Wage Bill £224mNet Total Debt £1.14bn owed to Abramovich Chelsea posted a loss of £85 million in 2016 up from 32 Million the year before where's the "fair play" in this?
Oh I agree. The c***s just pulled up the drawbridge. But I suspect it is the notion of fair play that will stop the slate being wiped with every sale.

Reaching the vinegar strokes now, just need someone to mention Spurs wage bill and I'm going to climax.
