It’s not obvious, 1st he says they should be more worried than City and then says he agrees with me. If he wouldn’t have brought FFP into it.................
Anyway, they’re not doing anything wrong, we could do it if we wanted. We’re not ethical either, nor is any club. I don’t particularly like it but why is it ethically wrong anyway? Again, they’re not kidnapping the players, they’re not forced into it, they’re probably getting good contracts. They are just taking a gamble on a lot of players hoping some will come good and probably making a profit when they don’t. They’re just doing what most clubs do but on a bigger scale. Arguably, they are giving kids a platform and assisting them for their future careers. Ethically, that’s good.
I do think the loan system needs changing a little though, maybe have an age limit on it, say u21, as it should be used to improve younger players. A lot of the time, the older players going on loan is because clubs give them big contracts and realise they shouldn’t have and loan them out to Lower the wage bill. Maybe they shouldn’t have give them that contract in the 1st place.
I had more of a problem with City when they 1st came into the money, they bought players to improve them, giving them big contracts, when they moved up a notch and outgrew said players, they were left on big contracts, experienced internationals, and sent on loan. If a club gives out such big contracts, they’ve entered into that, and they should be left with it. The loan system enables clubs to give stupid wages knowing they have a get out if it doesn’t work out. Clubs may be a bit more careful about throwing big wages around just to stop other clubs. Like us with Sandro as an example, he’s not gonna leave because we give him silly wages to keep him away from other clubs, maybe if we couldn’t loan him out we might have thought twice about giving him that wage to begin with and he might have thought twice about his career instead of money. And if we were still willing to give him that wage that’s our fault. We give him more wages to to keep out of other clubs grasp. The loan system as it works now, promotes greed and inflates fees and wages for me and should only be used for players of a certain age.
