Manchester City's financial charges highlight a deeper issue: modern football success often hinges on financial muscle rather than sporting merit. I've followed the Premier League for over 20 years, and the gap between the richest clubs and the rest keeps widening. FFP rules exist to level the field, but enforcing them fairly seems nearly impossible. Should we accept that moneyed clubs will always dominate, or is there a realistic way to restore competitive balance without killing the spectacle?
