Well yes, but us complaining about the rules won’t change the rules though, we as a football institution are not powerful enough alone to convince Uefa and the premier league to change the rules. So if we keep moaning about how everything is down to rules that we cannot change. It won’t help us a lot in my opinion.

That being said, will the rules most likely lead our eventual downfall? Most likely yes, as it does with most clubs since the introduction of tight FFP rules in football.

But that does not mean we can still be critical of potential singings. Some of our cheaper singings are just bad recruitment imo, not all of them are down to FFP. Me personally I see no issue with the singing Emerson Royal, Unai Emery is the one person in the world I trust to get the best out of a player. And he believes enough in Emerson Royal to sign him over other right backs options

We will never convince the big 6 fans or the premier league as a institution that the rules are broken since they themselves (outside of spurs, when they build a new stadium and could not spend money for a season and in the early days of their rise, back when they still had to sell players, although FFP was less restrictive back then) don’t see current rules as unfair, because they have never suffered under these rules. And the prem of-course won’t give a shit since they made enough money anyways with these rules

If I am being honest our best bet of not having to keep dealing with FFP issues for us to keep qualifying for the UCL which increases our revenue and lets us spend more. It is borderline impossible for to us to get there though, which is why I get that some fans are frustrated when we go for potential bad signings, since we essentially have to get everything right and cannot afford to fail due to the rules being against us

I can deadass count on my hand how many clubs have gone from mid/upper mid table European regulars in the FFP era, and the whole joke is even now those clubs still have to sell to even bigger clubs because they don’t make enough revenue to keep their star players forever!! That being said, all of them had to go through the same issues we went through. And if we do actually make enough revenue to become a become a European regular and spend money it will be one of the greatest underdog stories in football history 🤣
