Arsenal casually offering another £70m for a player, Chelsea signed 7 and have spent very extravagantly. Meanwhile Thelwell and Dyche are offering an IOU on the back of a chewing gum wrapper.

This gap is becoming insurmountable. If you don't support a handful of team, you may as well jack it in, it's gone tits up with FFP and P&S, implemented to keep everyone else in their place.
I bet other clubs thought that of us though when we spending hundreds of millions, without even getting rid of the deadwood.
 

Rumours but no official news
That's Everton
It's de ja Vue all over again
Just appoint Barry Chuckle and be done with it
 
It feels like that way but you look at the money the top (and even mid) teams are spending and the wages they are taking in on, and the lengths of the contracts and it just takes a bit of a market contraction for them to be stuck with a bunch of players that put them in financial trouble.

Foreign leagues are spending virtually nothing already, and eventually the PL are going to need somewhere to sell all the players they are buying. It sets up for the bubble to burst, and leave a lot of clubs in the position we’ve been in the last few years.

It’s hard to find optimism right now but if we can weather the storm short term then the enforced belt tightening we’re going through, plus the new stadium, probably set us up well for the medium-long term compared to the wanton spending of the rest of the league.
It is possible to be competitive but it relies on being good on recruiting and youth development. Think Brighton on a bigger scale or Borussia Dortmund.

What I don’t like is the obvious stock pilling particularly of younger players that you are seeing particularly from Chelsea
 
There is probably some unknown FA rule that that nothing is said during the FA cup. Newcastle hasn't announced Gordon yet and we all know it's done.

The difference is these teams have huge revenues. We wasted some money, sure, but does that mean we shouldn’t ever be able to spend anything ever again? United wasted far more than we did, but can just keep spending over and over again every window. Arsenal bought Aubemayang Lacazette Pepe for close to 200 million, decided they didn’t want them, let them all go for barely anything and can still just go out and buy Jesus Trossard Martinelli.

People are using the fact we haven’t recruited very well to argue against the there being a ginormous chasm between the sky six and the rest.

We could have had the best recruitment in the world, but ultimately the only way we can match those revenues is by consistently buying low, selling high, and somehow staying in the CL at the same time. Meanwhile the sky six can just spend spend spend without limitation.

So did other clubs. But they get around it with revenue and lets say ceative sponsorship.
So do you get one crack at it and if you dont succeed you're knackered for years to come?

FFP favours a small percentage of clubs in the long term for a reason. Just like the CL. They didnt like the prospect of losing in the first round to the norwegian champions and losing all that money. So they changed the rules and format.
FFP is no different.
