That last point is a good one ,it would stop these rich benefactors using these little clubs as playthings.Or here's a novel idea ,why dont they stipulate clubs have to generate the income themselves through gate receipts, merchandise etc instead of being given handouts from rich men and tv companies.That way the clubs with the bigger following, the true measurement of the size of a club in my opinion,will have a better chance.Ive brought this up before but Bournemouth for example, should not be able to attract better players than Sheffield Wednesday purely on financial grounds.
Dev, whats your thoughts on Ricky and his failure to progress ,do you blame the club or himself ?
