Sense being spoken there.
JOSE MOURINHO fumed that Uefa's Financial Fair Play initiative is dead after Manchester City escaped their two-year Champions League ban.
Pep Guardiola's side won their appeal against Uefa but were still fined £9million by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Biggest farce in football. The simple statistics show what is going on. Two clubs have bought success, at the expense of every other club that is actually run correctly and fairly. Don't include Utd in this. They were the original money cheats, they are just worse at it than the other two.
Chelsea - regular second tier club, with minimal history suddenly starts competing at the top .... due to Russian money.
Man City - regular second ( and third ) tier club, again with little history. Now dominating English football...due to Oil money.
And the funny thing is the media just ignore it. No one in the media is talking about how City are sweeping up just about every cup going, and with Chelsea, all they want to write is how Lampard is doing a great job with the kids, without stating the obvious that he has no choice as the club were banned from the transfer market, due to cheating.

Great post mate. Obviously all clubs need money to keep going, but to let clubs have an absolutely unfair advantage over the competition shows sporting integrity, fairness is completely out of the window.
I don`t even blame the clubs, I blame the authorities for allowing it to happen. They could block all of these takeovers by Russians and the Oil Men by simply stating that money cannot be laundered in from abroad to own sporting clubs. They can own clubs, but cannot use any of their own wealth to sustain them, all monies have to come from the running of the football club.
This should go for all football clubs. If a club cannot be self-sustaining, then they should just be folded.

Time for a salary/transfer cap across the board

At least Chelsea and City have rivaled Pen United in the spending stakes and added some competition, otherwise we would have United having first dibs on all the best players.
I`m all for having salary caps, most players would choose a London club over living in the Northwest.

Why? Who in their right mind would prefer living in Tower Hamlets over living in Cheshire?

Totally agree. It seems to work fine in American football. Put simply every club has a transfer kitty maximum and a wage figure maximum each season. And none of this bigger budget for one club over another cr*p because of history, co efficient etc. Every club gets the same based on which division they are in.If a club decides to blow a large part of the budget on one player, fair enough, but then they are limited completely on what other business they can then do.
That will instantly provide a fair and level playing field for every club, drive the oil and Russian money away, drive ridiculous wages we hear about down, and bring a lot more interest back into the game. I mean who wants to see the same team win everything every year ?
