So the big news yesterday was that Manchester City had been charged with more than 100 breaches of the Premier League’s FFP rules.
Personally, I do not want them to be deducted points.
I want us to win the title on our merits, based on us getting more points than them. If they go and get deducted 15 points and we win the league by 12, our league title will always have an asterix against us.
It will always be remembered that we only won the 2022/23 title because of financial irregulatories committed by Manchester 4 or 5 years earlier.
They finish above us, then they have been the better team on the pitch. And that is always what matters.
I have never been comfortable with FFP. Even when Roman was lining up his tanks filled with millions.
Who are we to dictate to a billionaire how they spend their money? And you could argue that the Premier League having 2 sugar daddy clubs (pre-Roman being sanctioned) made the league more competitive.
Without Roman or Sheikh Mansor, we would have had 20 years of either Arsenal, Manchester United or Liverpool winning the league. Off the back of 10 years of Man U dominance.
Look at how boring Germany is with just Munuch, or Spain with only Real Madrid or Barcelona.
We have a nice balance in England where top clubs earn enough to be competitive.
Let them keep their point tally for the season, then relegate them to League Two for next year.
Whilst we are talking about spending money, a must read blog is Swiss Ramble’s How Much Money Did Chelsea Really Spend? It is fairly eye opening to what they are doing and the risks they have taken.
Not much else really going on other than Jesse Marsch being sacked and a few attention seekers saying Gabriel Martinelli should not have got a new contract (with one wierdo even saying he should be sold if we do not win the league).
We do have some idiots that “support” us.
