There is an interesting article on Sportbible.com. I tried unsuccessfully to set up a link. It looks as though Leeds and Burnley are stirring things up, could get tasty.

That could be fun. But I recall when West Ham blatantly broke the rules by signing Carlos Tevez who then proceeded to get them out of relegation trouble (including a crucial last-day match winner away to Man U) - all they got was a token fine..... poor old Sheff United relegated instead got nowhere with their legal action.There is an interesting article on Sportbible.com.

I'm sure you'd be very interested in the Premier League if Argyle got promoted!Football trying to clean up it's act - to little to late
The beautiful game is eating itself & spitting it's self out
Creative accounting to try & gain an advantage
Money has ruined the beautiful game & the Premier League is full of clubs who are trying to manipulate the rules
That is why i am not interested in the Premier League
There are a lot on here who have said they have no interest in the Premier league so it would stand to reason that should Argyle make it there then these same people will surely boycott the club until its relegated, right?I'm sure you'd be very interested in the Premier League if Argyle got promoted!
How would it work for you if Argyle were to be challenging at the top of the Championship? Surely you wouldn't be wishing for poorer results so to avoid the dreaded Prem.Football trying to clean up it's act - to little to late

Not really interested in the Premier League, just in Argyle whatever division we were in. I would be embarrassed if we bought success via immoral ownership, but Argyle is part of my make up and there’s nothing I can do about it. Be it Man Utd or Welling Utd, if we win I have a warm glow for the rest of the weekend if we lose I’m gutted.I'm sure you'd be very interested in the Premier League if Argyle got promoted!

It all depends on how much of this saga is covered by business competition national laws and how much is under the umbrella of the football authorities. If it's the latter we know full well that money is king - and justice or (heaven forbid!) any kind of morality goes out the window.
West Ham paid compensation to Sheffield United of around £15 to £20 million. That level of compensation was agreed between the clubs and based on what lower placed Premier League clubs earned at that time (£30 million) the £15 to £20 million figure is about right in the way compensation is calculated.That could be fun.

Although the numbers are a bit lower, it could be argued that money is also "ruining" the Championship, with many clubs constantly running at a loss and getting themselves into massive debt chasing the dream of reaching the Premier League.Football trying to clean up it's act - to little to late
