Don't worry Stu. Don't think you are allowed to pay anything at the moment for that 'decent' team. I pay £300 for 23 games so that must be a bargain.

By comparison, a mate of mine pays £1300 to watch spurs every week! We don't remind him how much it costs... Much.
By comparison, I pay £40 a year for the seagulls women WSL season ticket. Are they any good? They're fine. Is the football brilliant? Nah. Do I enjoy being out watching some football for what equates to £3.60 a match? Absolutely.

No idea why people will be surprised. Don't kill the golden goose and as long as the top teams are having the best players whatever the cost then the CL will still be top box office. No chance for anyone outside the top 4 in our PL and the likes of the French and German leagues will be even more one sided. No chance for any of the smaller clubs to make an impact.

So... They have managed to replace something that does absolutely nothing and doesn't matter, with something that will do absolutely nothing and not matter?
That's surprising. Given how forward thinking and progressive UEFA are as an organisation...
I disagree. They have found a way for the rich to get even richer and bugger the rest. Ho much forward thinking do you need Uefa to be

Perhaps my distaste for this wasn't obvious enough. You are entirely correct. It gets closer to the "closed shop" offered by the European Super League, while still dangling the carrot by saying "it's fine. They have to abide by these rules".I disagree.

I expect to see sponsorship deals for Man City and Newcastle from Saudi / UAE tourist board increase dramatically.
All it stops is someone like Tony Bloom at Brighton saying "actually, I'll just give my kids £100mil each and as of tomorrow every penny of my £2.4bn is going on footballers".
It doesn't give the biggest clubs anything to worry about. It stops the smaller clubs competing. And the FFP debacle has shown that sanctions maybe in place, but UEFA aren't going to use them anyway.
I agree. Will become virtually impossible to break into the last 8 of the CL and it'll be the same sides every year in the final stages. It makes it a Super League in all but name

£725.00 but thats been frozen for about 4-5 years now, since Liverpool fans saved the whole of football fandom by staging a walkout.

Mike Dean is to retire from the field at the end of this season. He has applied to become a full time VAR official, like Mason

That’s because VAR is now the centre of attention and Mike Dean loves attention

Genuine question - Do EUFA rules apply to Aston Villa? Were not in any form of European competition - surely we just need to comply if we do achieve European football? (And my thinking is, if so - the greater income from acheiving European football could subsidise this?)
Just a thought! Happy to be proven wrong
I think the PL must have rules as well otherwise Everton would not be sweating about FFP. European football is really not relevant to us right now but we were limited for transfers last summer and they are talking about a possible points deduction for next year.Genuine question - Do EUFA rules apply to Aston Villa?

As much as I applaud the owners for this. How are the owners actually allowed to use there own money to do this. What about FFP.
I have always thought it odd that an owner can come in and spend its own money to buy a club, but once it owns it, it cannot use its own money to invest in the club it has bought. ?

PL and Championship are run separately so I'm hoping any penalty, if there is one, won't carry over and impact ??gonna be tough getting out of the championship giving the others a head start
