Quality misquote pal? Did you just take a chunk? Please let me know, posted too much on this thread to have a scooby.

To be fair, even BensGrandad would be proud of the way you keep blundering onwards regardless of any facts that get in the way

To be fair I am impressed with you and the hordes that don't actually get the original post.

You have been enlightened many timesin this thread, but seem to be enjoying the attention of a binfest, by blaming everyone else.

Hmmm I am blaming who for what? Our overspending? I blame all of you for it. What a quality post. Read my original post and stop being a follower.
Personally I dont get the anti [MENTION=17215]Sussex Nomad[/MENTION] vibe, he made a point about how our own clubs financial affairs seem wholly unsustainable and whilst accepting we are working within the FFP rules, it must look a little frustrating to those clubs below us trying to work within a more sustainable business model whilst not delivering comparable success, I know this is how football works but its worth a more reasonable debate rather than 'dont call my club cheats' angle.

So stay off it and don't read it, good grief we have some real quality brains here.

I have to say that from an extremely inauspicious first post this has developed into a fine case of binfestery with quite a few genuine LOL moments including a wonderful wind-up of El Pres. A great way to start a Saturday morning.
I salute you

A follower of what? You blame all of us? Are you a Brighton supporter?

To be fair and thanks for the understanding, most of this lot have about two brain cells between them, they are easy prey. You ask a question and it has that offensive word 'cheat' in it, that they are quite happily willing to call everyone else and they become tribal, near monkey state. I don't expect them to get it.

What other clubs below us, are working within a more stustainable model? Please name them?

No I have supported Palace all my life with a Brighton ST, it's just the way I roll.
Well I suspect those not running a £20 million loss .............
I think everyone is aware our spending is unsustainable, just like 15+ other clubs in the clubs Championship, we need to get promoted to be in profit. That does not mean we are cheaters or that many other clubs aren't making a loss in this division. Maybe you are mates with the OP as that is the only reason I can see that you're defending a person who has been informed multiple times that they're wrong but doesn't accept the fact.

That's dodging the question. Name the clubs please.

You beat me to it.
In answer to the original question "are we cheats?" the simple answer appears to be "no".
I detest the FFP model that has an annual loss as a permitted feature. The aim should be for clubs to be sustainable, i.e. not loss-making on average, but that is hardly going to happen with these rules. Too many clubs have gone to the wall with the loss-making model not to be concerned about it. FFP is an attempt to move in the right direction but that is all.

Where have I accepted or not accepted? I have put up a devils advocate answer on just about everything. I do not know Big Gully (I don't think), so you make it tribal. Those who have a sensible question v those that just want to put me in the ground. It is a great way to garnish the support of the lovvies. Sorry you need to actually make an argument without the need to belittle people.
