TrickyTrev Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 To ask for an investigation into us, Aston Villa and Derby County. I suppose it’s very easy to preach about FFP when you have the luxury of parachute payments. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/04/15/middlesbrough-chairman-steve-gibson-pushes-efl-investigate-rivals/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 So he's asking for an investigation into three teams who have a chance of the playoffs. Must be a coincidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 If he was so concerned about it being a level playing field, why didn’t he share Boro’s parachute payments amongst all the other Championship clubs? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkstar Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Wonder if he'd have brought this up without their recent slide out of the playoffs? Us and Derby are in completely different situations to them anyway given we've never had the parachute payments. If he's moaning about having to offload players to stay within the ffp guidelines even with the parachute payments then maybe he should have a look at the contracts he gave out in the premier League before pointing fingers. Also, didn't he chuck loads of his own money into the club to get them to the premier league in the first place before all the ffp rules came in? You could argue that his original actions are one of the reasons the rules exist in the first place. Glass houses and stones and all that... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Easy to be defensive, but he has a point. Chansiri has spurned opportunities to balance the books and comply. For that reason alone, we probably deserve what's coming. Current P&S rules suck, but they are what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys Salopettes Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 he’s an old school chairman, a local boy done good, who epitomizes where he’s from ... yup, he’s as dull as foook and has ingested too much smog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Repperton Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Just shows what a complete crock of s h 1 t this whole ffp/p&s ruling is. We've no chance competing with chairmen pleasing themselves (literally) & parachute payments. Bent as F! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
