How many English clubs have been bankrupted in recent times versus your beloved German clubs? Didn’t 13 nearly go under during Covid?
The founding of the Premier League is unrelated to the rules concerning club ownership and football finance. On the contrary, in a different timeline we have an abundance of TV money making its way through the pyramid with clubs that are still in the hands of their supporters. When we welcomed in Roman Abramovich that's when it really started to run away.
I see Wrexham coming up into this league and dropping £50 million and it reminds me of what the game in this country has turned into. Hero worship of piss taking clubs while we look at Sheffield Wednesday's mess (Lesta's too now) and ask 'how did this happen?'.

Boro spent £113m in a championship season?!“Wrexham dropping £50 million” Steve Gibson dropped £113 million in one season! Jesus wept
And I've said countless times they're just the latest in a long list of examples. To say I don't care about Chelsea and their Russian oil tycoon who really got the ball rolling on all this piss taking is bizarre.
Lincoln on the verge of promotion to the second tier is a great story and they've done it without a tycoon. Luton went up from non league to the Prem without one as well. Even though that came at our expense I still see it as a great football story. I just have no time for clubs who in my opinion represent what is wrong with the game.

Not the best comparison then is it G!er no? Share equity transfer to avoid FFP breaches? Come on Mr Acuntant keep up!
That all happened on their way up from non-league to the Prem did it? Wow!Luton are a wonderful example of great conduct. Dodgy administrations, brown envelope payments, not paying HMRC - what a story
Not the best comparison then is it G!
er no he’s clearly on about transfer fees. keep up!Wrexham’s dropping £50 million I assume refers to a share issue? Which is the same as a debt to equity share issue which Gibson did when the accounts showed a £51 million loss the previous season?
er no he’s clearly on about transfer fees. keep up!
Yes. A big part of my schtick has been about how what they're doing is anti competitive by blowing up transfer fees and wages.Is he?
Grendel clanger dropped!Yes. A big part of my schtick has been about how what they're doing is anti competitive by blowing up transfer fees and wages.

A new one for me with him telling me that my friend who's supported Man City for over 60 years is talking shit about how he feels regarding the club.Grendel clanger dropped!
Insults to save face, a grendel classic!No as he’s clueless how FFP works as it seems are you

You’re the bollocks mate. Never changeThey issued share capital to offset the spend?

Nope.Doesn’t he go anymore?

Nope.
I know perfectly well how FFP works...that's not what we're discussing here. Wrexham have come up and spent £50 million on transfers and wages this season alone and overpaid for just about every permanent signing. That's one of the biggest bug bears I have over what clubs like that do for clubs who have to try and compete against them.Without being too unkind I think BSB and Astute have similar intellect when it comes to football finance comprehension.

Birmingham are doing the exact same, just clearly less effectively.
I don't know how many times I need to say that it's not about how they get around FFP regulations.That’s nonsense
Wrexham have made a £40 million plus share issue to offset spend
Birmingham haven’t and have “borrowed” - they will make a huge share issue if needed. This is exactly what Steve Gibson did when he couldn’t get promoted abd was a country mile off with losses getting to £50m in a year - he transferred to share capital
It’s also what we did which is why SBS and L ended loaded op with debt. In Northampton we breached every rule under the sun but equity funded in exactly the same way Wrexham did - if we didn’t can you explain how we remained viable?
Sounds like he's in cov on saturdays.When did he stop going?
St Pauli for a couple, others who just became less interested and drifted away.Yeah I lived in Manchester in the mid 80’s and sometimes went to Maine Road. They were in the second division - Mick mccarthy was the captain. Booed off every week when they lost and a laughing stock. I’m sure they’d want those times back instead of Premier league and Champions league success. Who do these “jaded” fans support now? Salford?
I don't know how many times I need to say that it's not about how they get around FFP regulations.
The same that Birmingham have done for the past few seasons.Well you haven’t explained it very well
whst have Wrexham done wrong that Middlesbrough didn’t?
The same that Birmingham have done for the past few seasons.
Yup, now retired and lives around here. He doesn’t ‘long for the second division’, he does feel the club has moved too far away from the one he grew up supporting.Sounds like he's in cov on saturdays.
Frustrating when you ask people something and they dodge and deflect the question isn’t it!What? Still won’t answer?
I've literally said what my problem is with Wrexham countless times over the past few seasons.What? Still won’t answer?
