Arsene Wenger does not want to stop 'big investors' pumping money into the game - even if there is a 'control' on what Newcastle United's owners can spend because of Financial Fair Play (FFP).
Newcastle have splurged more than £250m in transfer fees since the takeover in October, 2021. Although this is a noteworthy sum, Newcastle have not behaved like the so-called 'richest club in the world' because of FFP regulations, which prevent clubs spending more than they earn.
Wenger, who is FIFA's chief of global football development, has previously spoken about how FFP needs to become more 'flexible' because the rules prevent 'emerging clubs who want to invest from doing so'. Back in 2020, Wenger went as far as to say that FFP had 'fixed a hierarchy' because the clubs that 'dominate' are those sides who invested in an era before the regulations existed.
