Football's financial system was developed after clubs like Man United. Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea had already built enormous commercial advantages through decades of success and investment Now revenue-linked rules can make it harder for clubs like Man Citv. Newcastle and Aston Villa to close that gap. The rules may be designed to prevent reckless spending- but thev can also protect the advantages of those who got there first. The rules were invented even when all the clubs were not beginning at the same level of playing field... These rules are basically a message from the Premier league and red cartel clubs saying that none of you small fucks are allowed to be AMBITIOUS by spending money from your owners Only the red cartel clubs were allowed to invest in their clubs all those 100+ years ago before they invented rules to prevent other small clubs from doing the same things they did by trying to even the playing field or to play catch up with the red cartel That way, only the red cartel clubs keep winning while the small clubs keep struggling All the small clubs should ve taking sides with Man City if they ever want to be allowed to compete for the big trophies otherwise these rules are going to continue to maintain the status quo; which is ; only the red cartel clubs are allowed to compete for the big trophies
