Message: [QUOTE="Wolfie, post: 3547058, member: 8770"] Like i said, barely anyone is doing it on a scale that would make a difference plus we were talking premier league. You have named one club that exploited things on a massive scale. There are dodgy dealings everywhere in football, but its a fact you cant spend your way to the top like you could in the days before FFP. You have pretty much proved my point though. I was talking about teams with rich owners breaking into that top 6-8 positions. Every team you have mentioned are the dominant clubs in their competitions. Lets take say Crystal Palace. Even if they could secure a big enough sponsorship to buy top players ( which is extremely unlikely anyway, they arent marketable enough ) where are they going to make enough money outside of that to run a club, and then pay a squad at that level about 250 million Euros a year, without making a loss every year. If it was as simple as you are saying every team would be at it and they arent. In theory its possible, in reality, its not going to happen. In the days before FFP though, owners like Sir Jack Walker, or Roman Abromovich, or Sheik Mansour could literally thrown money at their projects without repercussions. FFP stopped that. [/QUOTE]
