That would be a fairer “reward” for them, nearly get relegated (they are lucky the 3 bottom teams are awful) and next season be in Europes biggest comp, while us and you have to do well and sweat it out on the last day.

Yeah you got Rich at the wrong time, I thought all this came in to rightfully stop clubs going bust not completely hamstring any club with money, while we aren’t Saudi rich, our owner has a few quid he can’t spend.
It’s quite hard to go bust when owned by a nation state conscious of damage to their reputation. I have severe concerns about the ethics of our scenario but also think we’re being unfairly restricted.
I used to be an accountant for ten years, hated it so now iWork in construction, taking the piss sums it up well, just wait till City get a fine for the 115 charges, we got a point deduction for refusing to sell a player on the cheap.
Anyone normal would have some reservations about the Saudi money and I saw many have a go at the club for it, but end of the day any club would welcome it, the system is rigged to keep teams like you out the top spots
It amazes me how certain people think fans have any say who buys their club. It’s especially funny from British people with complete ignorance to what atrocities we’ve committed over the last few hundred years!
Same fans would be out waving Saudi flags if their team was bought, it’s jealousy mate, our owner is great but I’d welcome all that Saudi blood money, it’s the only way you have any chance to compete, and yeah, us brits take a rose tinted look at history.

For the first time in decades we have some and can’t spend any. Lovely stuff.
