Seriously guys there are a lot of other places to discuss this.

A transfer cap could be interesting as well, though maybe allow it to be a 3 year rolling average. Would allow for big summers on occasion. But I think the wage cap would be more of fix since that would impact players more. With limited transfer money but unlimited wages, I think you'd see more people running down their contracts and then the rich teams stepping in. A club wage cap would avoid such a thing.
As for Karl Marx, alas, I am not terribly familiar with all his writings so I shall have to cede that argument to you.

I think there is only so much of a level playing field that one can construct. A team like Spurs is going to have more resources than a team based in a smaller city (let's say Stoke). I think the approach that is needed is something similar to what the FFP shoots for. There are too many clubs to ensure that everybody can (naturally) pay a similar wage. And even if there were 15-20 rich clubs like you talked about (assuming you mean domestic, not the CL) the bigger clubs would still be able to massively outspend the smaller ones, so you'd see the same problems.
I think the best solution would be some sort of wage cap. Limit the amount clubs can spend on players, and you'll give a smaller, well run club a chance to make an impact. Obviously the rich clubs can offer more marketing money and exposure. But as long as they are allowed to spend stupid amounts of money I believe we'll see the game continue to be warped towards the money. At some point our society will have to realize that the hellbent pursuit of the dollar/pound/euro is not the be all, end all of happiness and civilization. Unfortunately we aren't their yet.

Jeez SS, you must be fun at parties!
Your admonishment is appropriate, and I have no intention to continue this discussion on this thread, or its later equivalents, at any future time.i dare say there will be a few members without ITK access for a while.
I am sure we are all familiar with the history of THFC and if not there are plenty of books and dvds to choose from.
A number of you should be wise and old enough not to continue this conversation on in this thread.
Now fuck off to bed and please lets not have a repeat tomorrow.
It's a theoretically-proven fact that the faster that you travel in relation to the speed of light then the slower time passes, as time is a relative measurement. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light though. (Probably.)
Sorry for the off-topic crap. That's the end of it.
How can a theory prove something?
Don't know your sense of humour well enough so, if you're having a bubble, then apologies.
I just penned a fairly long post about Marx in response to Antilokhos re the shape shifting nature of that old fiend capitalism but I deleted it because i thought that it might be taking it just one step too far.
No need to thank me.
Night all.
who has he manages since the russin club that Eto'o plays for with the billionaire owner. Think thats itWhile not doubting Pep's ability Frank Rijkaard won the treble in 2005 including CL and has been a gigantic flop at every club and country he has managed since, that is not reflecting on Pep's ability but there is no overwhelming proof yet that he isn't another Rijkaard
Depends on your definition of theory. If it's a layman's term it means a guess. If its scientific (and I believe this is the way spud is applying it), then that's a fairly verifiable fact. It can often cause disconnect
Definition: a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Theories make falsifiable predictions in order to make themselves better over time

Not really enough said. He had an amazing group of players and got them playing wonderful possession football. But as we saw this season, when he had to try something different, he couldn't implement any plan B, then he left. Add to that the issue that a lot of the players he brought in from the outside flopped.
The jury is still out for me. It's not as if he has managed multiple teams with great success, just managed a golden generation well IMO.
YES. Pep is leaving the best team EVER!!! Leaving the best player in the world to join Spurs.. You lot need to get out more.
And it has been answered SS57. We assembled the double team in much the same way Utd assembled their title winning teams. We bought players with the revenue generated by the club, not from the pocket of a multi Billionaire who got the money from elsewhere.As I've had to post several times already this window, how do you think we assembled the Double Team?
Harry was officially announced as gone at stupid o'clock, Luka was announced at stupid o'clock too. So it's not an adequate excuse for all the Off-Topic yammering.
It certainly does. As my last experience with Science occurred in the classroom (some 28 years ago ............ God I'm depressed now), it's no surprise that I was unaware that scientists had decided to redefine the English language one word at a time.Depends on your definition of theory.

As an example, it's the theory of gravity or theory of relativity. Very few definites in science, something that frequently causes confusion amongst thepeonsless educated here in the US.
