Ranking-based rewards can get properly fucked.

We will benefit from it this season whilst playing Europa.

It is frustrating when we are playing catch up with the likes of the former big6. However, each year of Europe for us moves us further clear of the likes of Brighton and The other mid table/top6 challengers. 5 more years of Unai leading our European campaign and we will be benefiting from these ridiculous financial rules. They will probably scrap them then.

I think the danger is that he must be frustrated with having to compete with one hand tied, will he wait another 5 years to make the break through?

The reason it feels corrupt is because clubs are limited on their financial basis based on p and l.  So their turnover directly relates to what they can spend.  And then success is judged differently and rewarded financially. 

There needs to be a fairer way of doing all of these things that isn’t specifically designed to protect the status quo as that is bad for football.

And to be completely honest until Man City’s 115 charges are resolved in an adequate and fair way then any club with grievances about how the financial rules are limited are completely legitimate

The rules brought in by the authorities are entirely designed to maintain the status wuo and supported by the big teams. It’s nothing about fairness and unlikely to change anytime soon. The mid lower premier sides like it too as it protects them against ambitious clubs coming up.
