CAN ANYONE ANSWER THIS?
AND BURKE WHERE IS HE? OR WHY ISN'T HE PLAYING OR IS 15M TO BE THROWN AWAY.
its all down to financial fair play. From the way I understand it over a given period a club can only increase wage by 1.3x the period before. Meaning that the bigger clubs that spend a lot on wages can continue to spend. What it stops, is rapid growth.
what its meant is that we are the product of our own demise by being quite so frugal in the past that we have no room to manoeuvre in terms of wages :/
it looks like by FFP all it actually does is keeps clubs in their place rather than stopping the big boys from spending a fortune.
before anyone askes, the 3 promoted teams have 3 years before this kicks in and so can outspend the lower more established teams. Hence why we, Swansea and stoke are in trouble.
As for burke, I believe a mentioned this months ago. The only explanation I have is that we've signed a dud. Makes absolutely no sense when he's fit to play Livermore on the RW when Philips is injured (see the west ham game).
