Just how fair is Michel Platini's financial fair-play ruling?

[Mads2506]

Sure it is. But I don't want everybody to remember the bad things about my club, which they will. Do you not see what I'm saying here?



You do realise who we signed don't you?

Norris, who was "Free" and Jason Pearce who had a 50% sell on clause in his contract from us. Rendering him pretty much "Free". We are not stable. Look at our 25 man Squad: Portsmouth Football Club | Squad | First Team Or lack of.

Search Portsmouth Fc in Google, after the forums etc you will find numerous things about us in administration etc rather than us winning the FA cup.

Search Ryan Giggs in Google and you certainly will find numerous things which have nothing to do with his 20 year old career. Doesn't make any of his past performances go unnoticed.

Anyway i am off to bed as this labour malarky can happen anytime apparently so i best get as much sleep as i can. Its obvious we wont agree and maybe/doubt it in 10-20 years time i/we will come back on here and see who is correct.

But they can play football, worst comes to worst a team has a U18s and reserve team etc. Whether they chose to pick them is a different argument all together.

We don't have any Reserves..

Yeah, let's field a team of U18's in the Championship and then watch us be in the record books for being the team with the lowest amount of points ever and the first PL club to go into Admin. Fantastic. A shiny bit of silver wear is looking even more useless now.

Wow. Seriously. LISTEN.

They had to sign those players TO ACTUALLY PLAY FOOTBALL. If they didn't THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO. You're desperate scrabbling to save the remains of this argument, give it up. If a team is playing U18s because they can't afford others, there is no way in **** they're stable.

That's a really good comparison, actually, it's fantastic.

They are totally different circumstances. Be realistic here.

I have utmost respect for Platini for bringing FFP.. Should have introduced a decade back, then the clubs which worked hard and reached harder way would have enjoyed even more success.. I dont support the view of club becoming instantly big with someone pumping the money. We have Malaga, what have they done to enjoy bottomless pit of money that Valencia dont. Traditionally Valencia are always at the top competing for top 4 and champions league. Now because of some rich owner, Malaga who did didly squat will overtake them not because of some Magical management and performances on the field but some Qatar rich owner wanted to play Football Manager IRL.

We have English examples too.. But better not to touch them..

What's the matter? Why don't have anything else than a smartass reply?

Seriously, if you're using Google searches to prove your point, you're not using the right thing to prove your point. It's a good comparison. Because, according to you, a Google search proves that all people focus on is the administration thing, get real.

I was using Google searches to completely back up my point? I gave an example for him to understand what I was getting at. It's a terrible comparison. You are comparing a player who has followed on others and cheated on his wife with X, Y and Z to something that put our club into the record books and nearly rendered our club extinct? Get real.
