Why FFP is drawing complaints? If anything I feel it's wrong as it will make it that much harder for any clubs in future to receive a big cash injection and make a push into the elite, and everybody should be reminded that the status of most of Europe's elite clubs has been a result of some less than noble assistance at some point in their history.

Anyway, FFP has to begin at a manageable level and I believe the requirements for compliance will become more stringent in successive seasons. The initial effects are already apparent Chelsea & City have already had to cut their manic spending.

This article gives an overview of the clubs around Europe that might be affected by FFP: http://www.weaintgotnohistory.com/2012/6/14/3085089/so-what-clubs-do-need-to-worry-about-ffp It concludes that the most at risk are:
Anzhi Makhachkala
Málaga
Paris Saint-Germain
others possibly at risk / less capable of spending big compared to previous seasons:
Liverpool
Inter Milan
AC Milan
Juventus
Roma

Liverpool: Like City, Liverpool will benefit from the increased TV revenue. Unlike City, Liverpool haven't had Champions League income in a while. Liverpool spent a lot last summer, doing so again without CL money will likely doom them as far as FFP is concerned.

Some top insight of that sight, considering you know they funded about 60 odd millions worth of our transfers.

Also Chelsea cutting spending? Haven't they already bought Hulk, Hazard and Marin or something?

FFP if implemented will be done retardedly, also aren't City already paying massive wages, have they cut back on those? It is never going to happen properly.

I nearly put an asterisk on that one, possibly a bit of partisan wind up going on there? although I probably should not have written "at risk" - maybe just somewhat limited spending power compared to recent seasons

already bought Hulk, Hazard and Marin
Marin was 'only' £5M, the Hulk transfer I believe is nothing more than agent and press hype

FFP...
...is never going to happen properly.
we'll see, if UEFA do punish PSG or one of the Italian clubs then we might have to take it seriously

You really think that if RvP came City he would be our best player?

Talk about deluded.

To be fair you are just as deluded if you cant see the possibility that RVP could potentially be your best player (if he was bought)

Its not a definite by any means - but you also cant discount him as readily as you seem keen to do
 
Wolves sign Frank Nouble on a free transfer, never hard of him to be honest

Ex-west ham, they released him because he's been on loan something like 10 times and at 21 hasn't been given a first time go (big Sam wouldn't know tallent if it kicked his knees in). He's supposed to be quick and potentially good but really needs a chance to show it.

I assume this means fletcher and Doyle are expedited to be sold

I saw him a couple times for West Ham, It looked like they dragged a supporter from the crowd gave him a kit and put him upfront, he is dreadful. I wonder where he went, I thought he would be playing in the conference (at best) by now.

He's garbage, we've had him a few times on loan and each time he's done precisely nothing. I can't believe Wolves have taken him to be honest.

On the Barnsley front we've signed Mido. Hopefully Keith Hill can resurrect his career like he did with Vaz Te - I just hope we don't get done on the transfer if we sell in January after a successful first half of the season. Still can't understand how we only got £500K for Vaz.
