It's funny because United are likely to spunk in the face of FFP by signgin 48m whereas if the FA get tough on City's sponsorship deal they are going to struggle big time. If someone wants to buy Port Vale and spend millions of THEIR money on it then why not?

If we get into the pl is this what tan as been working towards regarding the rebrand and showing games in Malaysia? Could the extra income if any, enable us more flexibility in the transfer market than most pl teams?

It's because the person who comes in and spends 'millions of their money' isn't actually spending his money. They loan their money to the club and charge interest. Such as Sam Hammam at us, Pompey etc.
Its to stop clubs spending out of their means and there to protect clubs from this sort of exploitation from owners.
The explanation of ruining dreams is ridiculous. Swansea got promoted without spending ridiculously and so did Norwich. Its not all about money - although it does help.

But how far can Swansea and Norwich go? When was the last time a team without a bit of money won the league? They can ban owners from doing that, no need to put stringent rules in place that protect the status quo.
