This is really happening, isn't it? As if it wasn't bad enough that people waste months of their lives on a game pretending to be a football manager, people are going to start pretending to be accountants. That's what's going to happen. FFP SOS FFS.

I keep thinking; would Doug E have approved of FFP? My answer; yes. That bothers me.

You might be on to something there.  "From the makers of Football Manager comes the new and exciting Football CEO where players can experience the highs and lows of trying to keep on the right side of FFP and avoid costly points deductions".

To be fair, I think a lot of people are just trying to gain an understanding of something which seems pretty complex and is impacting massively on clubs.

Yeah, I don't normally advocate violence but sometimes it feels like it's the only answer.

I witnessed my prepubescent son playing a game called ‘adventure capitalist’ the other day.  From what I gathered you don’t do much other than watch your investment portfolio increase exponentially. I was glowing with pride I can tell ya.
