Imagine you had all the money in the world what games would you play? (Sorry this is not a thread for those who answer 'I wouldnt play games I would eradicate poverty and secure world peace' - as I say different thread.)
The type of games you would play are....
1) I have the biggest fuck off yacht in the world
2) And 30 cars that most people cannot afford one of
3) I own the rights to everything in Malagastan because I have made their despotic leader rich
4) I have the top team in the Premiership because I buy the best players for the most money and pay them the highest salaries
5) I have this incredible 747 (in fact two of them) kitted out with gym disco 5 double bedrooms and a home theatre
And so it goes ....you see it is great that Man U might have built a support base that generates 40m pound more revenue than my club but 40m quid is something that I earn pissing in the bog in the morning from my Kazakhstan oil rig. And so when the rules change and I can only spend what I earn in football it willl be very boring because I like to win by spending more than anyone else. So when FFP comes in it will be considered fair by many people but not by me cause I like to play a game that the winner is the guy with the biggest wallet, who buys what he wants because he can and the idea that I need to get value for money goes against the very principle that I win because I have the most. At that point the game simply becomes boring because I am only there to show how much money I have not how well I can spend it.
