You mean the loophole that is massive being exploited.Also the affect of COVID finance are starting to hit.
The problem is, it’s a FFP loophole, it’s not a loophole that allows you to magic up cash. That’s the bit that’s hitting home.You mean the loophole that is massive being exploited.
Yes that sounds familiar, but turned out to be bollox.Wasn't there an opposition manager a few years back (possibly when Mowbray was manager) who made the suggestion in a post match presser that we hadn't paid our players wages, or am I misremembering that?

I suspect he had a legal letter telling him to put the record straight. Who speculates like that, when you are a footy manager, to go on air and claim something like that could easily be disproven based on just hearsayHe ended up having to apologise, the whole thing was bizarre
Of course allowances have to be made for the extraordinary circumstances of the pandemic but allowable losses are something like £105m over 3 years, and Everton are £370m in the red for that period. Chelsea are spending that every transfer window at the minute.You mean the loophole that is massive being exploited.
Problem with Lance, pretty much all were at it at some point.- And the reason it should be an immediate punishment, and not go through the courts for years is that for the duration of the legal case, it’s actually corrupting the sport.
These teams are cheating in real time and can still win leagues. If City or whoever are found guilty of breaking FFP and retrospectively have their titles taken from them, they still have the memories and experience of winning them. I can’t see an open top bus parade happening in Liverpool in 2025 for the 2018 league title.
Makes me think of those guys who were awarded the Tour de France after Lance Armstrong and everyone were scratched from the history books. It’s not really a fun way to win it.
