I think the clubs are working together against the FFP, as they all know they can be in the other skin at one point or another. All these bloated academy signings are definitely an agreement, with maybe some future business in mind.

On one hand it’s just a loophole that premier league teams exploit. The fees for these kids are ridiculous
On the other hand does it not give players a better chance of success? How many of these players would be languishing in the reserves or league cup. Maybe this gets more young talent out there.
It’s still wrong though. It’s not for the betterment of any player. It’s just a money scam

Make the maths math…
1. Invent rules designed at improving profitability and sustainability with the guise to prevent teams taking risks.
2. Rules lead to a top 6 frozen at that time stamp who can spend what they like, even if they are a billion in debt.
3. Ambitious clubs with zero debt are forced to sell players, even if they qualify for the champions league and there is no risk to their profitability or sustainability
4. Said clubs sell players…but not the right sort of player and not for the giveaway fees to the right teams
5. We need to immediately look at the rules and stifle ambition (the real enemy) and ensure that the same teams are always at the top. Just don’t look at the fees they have been getting for selling youth players for vastly inflated prices too
