FFP

[CT Villan]

Did anyone determine the impact of Amadou's insurance coverage on our FFP/SCR- restrained summer transfer activity given the injury occurred whilst playing for Belgium ? Do we have a 'free hit' to loan/sign a replacement for the 12 months that he will likely be out ?

Because, so we were told, the rules were put in place to stop clubs spending beyond their means. Man United being billions in debt shows that:

1. The rules do not prevent clubs spending beyond their means.
2. The rules were never actually intended to stop clubs spending beyond their means. They were intended to maintain the status quo.

The rules were introduced when UEFA were run by Michel Platini. The most corrupt UEFA chairman who spent most of his career at the world's most corrupt club.

Why there are still people who believe there was ever any underlying fairness motivating the introduction of these rules is beyond me.

I don’t think anyone reasonable thinks it’s fair. I’m just a bit bored of people (most of the Villa ‘influencers’) saying “it’s not fair”.

Yeah, we know.
