If the owners put money in the club, its the club's money. Thats how I see it, idiot.

I agree, as long as it is ring fenced. There is no justification to prevent legitimate outside investment into a club. It goes against all known business practices . I am all for measures that prevent reckless spending that puts a club at financial risk but all for legitimate investment that is used to support a credible growth strategy.
For those, like me, who were confused by this silly acronyn,...
FFP = Financial Fair Play Rules
and should be FFPR...
I thought ffp was invented to stop megalomaniac owners risking the existence of clubs.
Most millionaires/billionaires usually aren't adverse to risk to get their fortunes in the first place but there have been a number of sad examples of clubs going bankrupt ,due to bad decision making, and the fans are the ones that suffer.
Making teams sustainable within a structure everyone has to follow is the way forward. Teams will still waste money whilst others find bargains, just as some clubs will rise and others fall.
