So Wilk said that we are being careful about FFP, so I looked into it further...

In summary we are not under threat for FFP, however for us FSG haters read this...

"So, despite losing £83m over three seasons, Liverpool can expect to have no sanctions imposed at the end of the 2014/15 UEFA campaign. However, I should point out that to pass FFP, Liverpool’s owner will still need to inject hard cash to cover losses made over the three seasons. For Liverpool, this means the owner needs to put his hand in his pocket and inject around £44m by 31 December 2014. This can’t be done via a loan and if he doesn’t do this, Liverpool could well face a UEFA ban in 2015/16. However there is no reason to believe that he won’t convert the required £44m of debt into equity"

Basically what this means is, the rest of the Suarez money has been used instead of John putting his own money into paying the losses...

Nowhere does is state that the Suarez money was spent on this....are you aware of how much we spent last summer. What we need to understand is that FFP encompasses not only traansfer fees but wages included in the contract too.

I understand your point if view, and I can accept you not liking the owners, that's fine, but posting this and claiming that this is where the Suarez money went , AS A FACT, is just really silly. It is unfounded, without so much as a shred of evidence to back it up.

Furthjermore, even if this were true, what we are saying is that, Liverpool used the money it generated form sales to cover a debt created by the club. there is nothing wrong with tha, as a matter of fact, that is how it should be done. We shouldn't expect a sugar daddy to pull out 50 mil from his own pocket to cover our debt every few years...I know i wouldn't...

I thought the whole point of FFP was that you couldn't have a sugar daddy lobbing good money after bad ad infinitum.

Does it matter where it went? We signed extra players to replace ageing and expensive stars.

Wasn't FFP supposed to be designed so that clubs generated revenue from TV, ticket sales, merchandise, kit deals, naming rights and sponsorship? Not from one company lobbing £400m in overpriced sponsorship deals like Man City were supposed to have done to build the foundations of where they stand now.

Actually if you think about it we also probably have the next massive valued player in our team.

So FFP is not a bad thing when you deal with players with resale value.

What will happen to City, United and Chelsea? How long can you keep going when players earn £200k a week and you have a FFP system in place.

Well my first concern is with the projected wage Bill which seems to be increasing according to the authors prediction but is actually decreasing. He also predicts we take a loss on player sales but i am not sure that's the case. Its all a bit, if this happens then this, assumptions...nothing g really concrete.
