Bluesteel. Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 The premier league already has the EFL in shackles with ffp as the condition for solidarity payments. In many ways that is getting u23s into the Championship so that the good ones can be bought back for a few quid. England have managed WC semi finals and a euro final via much needed changes but thankfully what Pep suggested would be good for England hasn’t been necessary. Its more about dominance and preventing change just like P&S (is any champ club profitable/sustainable or just held in stasis) and the ESL to varying degrees.

happy bunny Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 So the suggestion is that elite clubs can assemble youth teams at any cost to compete outside the PL. Where does this leave the clubs shackled by spending limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why Man City and Chelsea can train 80085 kids and pay them well, then use them to make money on loan once they hit 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should never have dropped the reserve League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing they have spent their time in lower leagues in recent history as well. Only the true, traditional City fan's. The plastic fan's of the last decade or so wont give a t*ss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl in Manc Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 They should loan out there U23 players to lower league clubs , with no loan Fee and City picking up all the wages. That way the players will develop and struggling clubs will benefit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalworthOwl Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I saw Pep play twice. Once for Barcelona, where I don't remember him, I only remember Figo, Kluivert and Rivaldo pinging it about. And once for Spain where I do remember him, he had a great connection with Raul, threading the ball to him through tiny gaps. He was a great player and is a great manager. He is utterly wrong this time, but it's hard to see how to richest clubs won't pull away more. With the premiership came a global audience for English football, and of course most of the global audience like the most successful clubs which gives them a massive boost in revenue. I support Financial Fair Play but it's not there to create a level playing field, it's there to stop a club going bankrupt if an owner comes in, gambles, gets bored, and walks away.

It’s for the fans Tbf, football in this country pretty much does serve the top clubs. The rest of us are here to make up the numbers and we get a bit of money to keep us afloat.

Ronio Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Pep is deluded, arrogant and out of touch with English football. He has unlimited resources at his disposal and yet still feels hard done by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
