You can still spend what you want you just have to be more creative.

This is exactly my point and my issue with Kroenke and company. If fans like us, who only care what happens on the pitch, can realize this then why cant experienced businessmen. If the reason is not pride like I mentioned earlier then it can only be incompetance

The times of the likes of psg, city and chelsea spending money they dont have is over. Even if we get a rich oil money owner we will still have to conform to the new and improved FFP rules.

That's also true. I myself don't argue for spending ridiculous amounts of money just for the sake of it, even if we were allowed. It's (ironically) a cheap way to win trophies. We do, however need to spend more and that's just a fact. We should go for an occasional superstar like Auba but a lot of the shortcomings in our squad could be fixed with players costing no more than 30-40m.

On the flip side, FFP actually would help clubs like us if they actually enforced it properly. Banning City from the UCL would send a strong message to the oligarchs that just injecting crazy money into clubs wont work anymore.

Yep. Normally I would be for our self sustaining model IF everyone else was made to abide by the same philosophy. But since this has never been the case, the idea should have been scrapped when it was clear the consequences against clubs like Chelsea, City, etc. was meaningless
