1 year agoI think people will always refer to the ‘peak of football’ in the period where they were young and experienced the most ‘exciting’ football in their eyes. It’s purely based on nostalgia. I’m not saying 1997-2012 wasn’t wonderful, but someone else would refer to a completely different period and it’s mostly the time where they were between 15-30 years old
This year there was a case like this in Belgium and France.
RWDM Molenbeek, a team that just promoted to the first league bought a 19y old talent for 30 million to everyone’s surprise, smashing the record for highest incoming transfer in the league. RWDM Molenbeek belongs to Group OL Lyon
In reality, this was actually a transfer for OL Lyon who could not buy him due to FFP and they instantly loaned him out to them. RWDM didn’t even announce the signing of the ‘new’ player. How this is possible, is beyond me. Just purely fraudulent and blatantly breaching FFP in my opinion.
