This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Then institute a wage cap applicable to all teams. by tex29

If you want to prevent teams from buying championships, fine. I might even support that, despite the fact that it hurts my club. But it’s bullshit to tie wages to revenues. That simply allows established teams to spend more than everyone else. There is nothing fair about that Financial FairPlay regime. Who cares where the money comes from if there is no debt? Why is it inherently more fair to allow Arsenal and Liverpool to spend more money than what City’s owner is willing to spend out of pocket, simply because Liverpool and Arsenal were better teams in past decades?
