Quote ="Ian P"If we are talking of a commercial business enterpirse operating in the entertainment area, I would say FC are doing very well nicely from a commercial point of view. The decision to extent Richards contract was no doubt taken against a back ground of coaching vacancies popping up, the price being right and of course the managements leanings.
The problem of Richard's new two year extension only becomes relevent if the faithfull stop blindly funding the operation. At that point the board will act, until then expect the business to continue into 2011 &12 much as it is at the moment.
The salary cap is full of holes and if anyone fancies pushing it by challenging some clubs "photo rights" payments they will find that under European trading law its a restriction of trade and would vanish. The present system is a joke and no one is ever going to convince me that some clubs a re spending the same as FC, the move to the present system has effectively put a cloak over the whole sad affair.'"
Fully agree, the salary cap is open to abuse, no doubt about it.
