" Arsenal hasn’t been a great soccer club lately, but it has been a good business. This is what a soccer club run as a business looks like: high ticket prices, little desire to win trophies, and respectable profits. If FFP takes force, and other big clubs end up being run like Arsenal rather than like Abramovich’s Chelsea, then we predict: • A fall in players’ wages • A fall in transfer fees, which would mean less money trickling down from big clubs to the rest • A rise in club profits, which would mean more money being taken out of the game by people like the Glazers "
