Removing FFP will have absolutely no impact towards league parity, all it encourages is some rich person to buy a team and spend like crazy which just further lopsides the league. Worst of all, if that owner ever bails on the club the club will likely go under because their revenue isn't anywhere close to their expenses because of no FFP. FFP is meant to protect clubs from that kind of exploitation and financial ruin as much as anything.I was arguing the FFP was there to maintain the same teams at the top. Which this graphic totally shows.
If it was for me, I'd go for a semi-close league with full salary cap and all.
But if not, then a guy should be able to buy any team he wants and invest anything he wants. Be in in Croatia, England or San Marino. To forbid him to do so is absolutely disgusting and a clear breach of european rules.
FFP is doing just that : forbidding teams to challenge rapidly. What the big clubs want in fact.
FFP isn't preventing teams from challenging. Rapidly? Sure, you have to take your time and build it over years, but it doesn't prevent anything in a top league. Especially England, where revenues are so high to begin with if an owner really wanted to do so they could spend a lot of money on a lower stature club.
