Or FFP as it is widely known.

Here is an outstanding thread highlighting how certain big clubs are manufacturing a deal against a couple of other big clubs in the english premier league. Unfortunately these clubs have been rumbled and heevyweight journalists and newspapers have waded in ...... truely fascinating reading easpecially towards the end where daily mail Martin Samuels goes to town on Manchester United and Arsenal .....

Plenty think he is bill , always good to see good honest journalism

The Premier League chairmen / owners / bent crappity smackers all voted yesterday at a plush meeting in london . 14 votes from 20 were needed to except the "new" rules , just 6 clubs were "against" so it is to be brought in .

In reality it is a stitch up led by David Gill and Ferguson of Man Utd , the owners and Wenger of Arsenal , the owners of Liverpool and the slimy owners of West Ham ....... make your own minds up  . One significant factor for this change in our game was brought about by ALL THE CLUBS WITH AMERICAN OWNERS and the porn slime balls of West Ham , the American owners of football clubs have a track record of taking FAR MORE MONEY OUT of there clubs so again make your own minds up , not all is as it seems with this motion and the premier league will never be the same again ........

Unless the 6 clubs who voted against take the FA and the other clubs who voted for it to court !

Villa voted against it .

Allegedly the clubs that voted against were Aston Villa, West Bromwich Albion, Manchester City, Fulham, Swansea and Southampton.
All the rest voted for except Reading (the voting forms must have been in English ) who abstained.

Good point about the abstain bill 

It looks like the FA have used this vote or non vote as a carrying vote ...... again this could lead to a court case 

The bottom line when all is said and done although very long winded is that the majority if not ALL premier league clubs WILL now increase season ticket / all ticket prices . It is THE only way they will be able to make the required profit under the new guide lines , it is as simple as that.

Unless the issue goes to court that is
