modboy Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Don't know what makes me feel the most sick. Out overpaid failures or United's value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I hope during this enforced sabbatical footballing can have re think about it finances. Those figures are a recipe for disaster. Basically every club needs a multi millionaire sugar daddy now just to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Why is just football which is been picked on? Some of the very rich billionaires are claiming as well for their companies. We should evaluate the whole of societies view on wealth not just a small portion of it. Within a few months of the virus ending it will be back to dog eat dog and our good intentions will be just a memory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the pressure on him in all of this, have I missed something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a lot of negative things on social media about Richard Branson, Mike Ashley and Tim Martin. Football probably gets more stick but that's because it is so high profile.

Probably not, will re start with plenty of good intentions but a couple of months later be back to normal. Might make players wages come down a bit in the short term however.

fudge27 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Never understand how these businessmen who all must be somewhat competent to have they money they do, can run what is at the end of the day a business so poorly.

daleblue Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 It's the players wages which are at least bringing clubs into dispute with FFP, and at most destroying them, there has to be a mechanism which confronts this head on, FFP does not do this. There should be a cap on what wages can be paid in the entirety of a football club, and that includes bonuses. This would also put every club on a level playing field which for the likes of the big six would be a non starter, this would need to be addressed, money allowance could be worked out on the previous season's league position, 1-6 get a certain amount 6-10 a lesser amount of above 10-20 a lesser amount of above This would make clubs more sustainable and give them scope to spend money on fans, infrastructure, and local issues. Clubs would become more of a community benefit, and once again the working mans sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
