Financial Fair Play ?????

It would be fairer all around if no club was allowed to spend more than say £30 million in one season.

The point I'm making is that they should each have the same budget.

How can it be fair when one club can spend upwards of £150million and other clubs are threatened with sanctions for spending £50million?

I dont think it has anything to do with being fair.

Its just a method of keeping the top clubs at the top and preventing any other club from expending.

I fail to understand how a club can be penalised for wanting to become better.

I agree, too much emphasis on money now in football, its more a business than a sport. You can pretty much buy the Premier league title. What happened to good managers doing well on a limited budget? Look at what Brian Clough did with Derby county and Nottingham forrest, don't think we'll ever see anything like that happen again under the current system.
