Listening to a Football finance man on Talksport earlier and he first said that PSR is f*cked due to Chelsea's shenanigans and needs a complete rethink (ans says it will probably get one), and also said Villa are about to break PSR rules so they need to sell a player, but he predicted they will more likely just sell something to themselves, like their women's team.

I think football is broken. Just scrap all the PSR/FFP rules and let clubs get on with it.

Terrible idea. Football's broke, so let's just let clubs who are already cheating do whatever they want and watch loads of them explode out of business. Yay. :|

And that would be bad to see “cheating” clubs go out of business?

Would it have been bad to see us go out of business?

Of course, but a phoenix club nearly always rises out of the ashes.

While I appreciate that there should be “rules”, it seems that those “rules” are constantly being flouted and clubs are constantly looking for ways to ignore and/or bend “bend” rules (e.g. Leicester City (who still haven’t learned anything), Man City with 115 charges going on interminably (which will be followed by the inevitable appeal dragging on forever before they more than likely get let off with next to no punishments) and clubs selling “their own things” to themselves :evil: ) I sometimes think some of these no moral entities going bust would be in the best interests of everyone.

The collateral damage would probably be the rest of the pyramid, though - and especially the Championship. Some clubs might survive or be phoenix clubs, but I'd doubt all 72 would.

Taking over from Reading as the next FL basket case fiasco is Sheffield Wednesday which is now under a transfer embargo for the next three windows after Chansiri failed to pay staff on time again.
