Money in football

[o2be a gooner]

Please someone explain how new owners are going to benefit teams such as everton etc? i mean with FFP supposed to be in place now and that all money spent must be from own earnings? i know clubs can get past this by buying players and loaning them out etc, but just wondering how it works with these owners as i thought that was the point of ffp???

My understanding is that the Financial Fairplay guidelines, such as they are, are largely concerned with players (transfer fees, wages and so on). So rich new owners can still make a big difference with regards to infrastructure and facilities, that sort of thing.

Our own experience suggests that it's good to be backed up by serious money, regardless of whether that money is actually spent or not. We can split hairs and argue over trophies or the need for fifty million pound strikers but at least we have good reason to believe we won't actually be going out of business any time soon.

Looking back I now think that the club lost it's mojo when David Dein left the board. Kronke just wants to watch the money rolling in, coldn't give an American **** about the fans imo

initially didn;t want him "not our sort" but when Usnamov came along and Danny Fiszman was taken seriously ill they though Usmanov was even less their sort and trusted Kronke to do the honourable thing. He hasn't.
