PieEaterSun Tzu The current proposal seems (as I said) to be very much in favour of existing big clubs and effectively stops a small club breaking into European competitionSun Tzu Personally I would like to see rules in place that mean all clubs have to be self financing and break even WITHOUT any investment from the owners. It owuld produce a much more level playing field and would encourage proper financial management and would turn football clubs into a proper business. Finance could still be raised through loans and share issues but not through a rich owner throwing money at his hobby.
To be self financing you are ensuring that the bigger clubs (fanbase wise) have an financial advantage over the smaller clubs, and the CL set doubly so. Hardly a level playing field.
The only option for smaller clubs (and probably all clubs) is to screw the fans with higher ticket prices.
I think it is utterly wrong for you to pick two contradictory quotes from me and use them to make a valid point.
Where would HNA be if we were all called to account over our postings by people who pay too much attention to detail !!!!
