Michel Platini’s Financial Fair Play initiative at Uefa has been one of the more inspiring developments at the top of our game for decades. It brought spending into line with income throughout the English game and punished what Platini called financial doping.
It has been so effective, Platini now promises to relax the rules. The blame does not all sit with Platini. Uefa are dealing with 10 legal challenges to the rules, with complainant clubs citing European Law in their defence. The big football powers are split. The English appear in favour of FPP (Manchester City aside), while many stressed clubs across Europe are in opposition.
The concept of living within your means is still resisted in our game, not just in barred hold-outs in Scotland.

Sort of in the same boat with you there mate.
I sent an enquiry off about a weekend season ticket as Sunday games actually suit me.
My boy is 3 in July. He has been to a couple of games. One was in freezing weather and I won’t be doing that again.
I proposed a season ticket for families or even people who travel distances for weekend matches.
I have had a response and they are willing to look at options.
Better to have the ground filled as much as possible for most games at the weekend than not at all. It also leads to getting a full season ticket in time.
That were my thoughts on it anyway.

“And who says I haven’t been trying to do something about it?
“Do I seem to you….like someone who wouldn’t be active in opposing something I feel strongly about?”
I have no idea because I don’t know you.
If you are doing something constructive about it, I’m sure you would let us know as that would further your aims.

Until fans understand how we are being shafted….I see no hope for collective action.
What we need is solidarity, and sadly that is lacking.
You cannot convince anyone of anything, until they are open to the possibility of being mistaken.
People need to open their eyes, and see whats in front of them.
