had the idea of such a **** club having a television station not been so ridiculous.
They must have one or two we would like

stop clubs going bankrupt when really that's bull****, it's designed to create a closed shop for all the big clubs in Europe.
I think it's a pile of crap Ash but obviously as a Gooner you're gonna like it as it should return Arsenal to second in the country for the next 100 years, maybe the odd title when Manu have a bad season.
which inflate ticket prices for non-doped clubs?
I think you forgot to answer that one
has the potential to do what Arsenal has done. The CL was bad enough for making the big clubs in each country even bigger but FFP has really sealed it. As for ticket prices I think you'll find FFP will push them up, when a club is trying to keep up and they are flat out of things to sell to sponsors they'll pass the cost on to the mugs paying at the gate.
And through carrying moderate levels of debt.
So for us, a new owner could have stumped up the 400 million for the ground, leaving us free to spend our own money on players. That would have been nice
It prevents short term huge investment in players designed to bring short term success.
I hate it, even though it helped us pay for pur new stadium.
And when the nth team in a league becomes owned by a Mansour/Abramovic, they'll only have a 1/n chance of winning anything, so what are they spending their money on?
I take your point about the CL, but Leeds, Newcastle, Everton and Spurs have had a go in it. Just because Wenger has got Arsenal in it every year, despite a very low net transfer spend during that period, people assume that that sort of consistency is easy.
Even a bostonbrian club like, for example, and picked entirely at random, Crystal Palace, have an extra 20-30m now, which is spread a lot more evenly in this league than in Spaid, where two clubs hoover up all the TV money.
PS. I do agree about the TV money, that's fair do's, and I do like that bostonbrian of a random club
