PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[bluenova]

What the fuck have Luton towns commercial and tv revenues got to do with what we can afford to spend? Completely unrelated, and yet another pathetic attempt to derail us.

Also it means we can’t compete against actual bankrupt cunts like Barcelona. Fucking EPL madness

They have financial controls in La Liga. Barcelona's limit is something like £170m. They obviously spend more, so they're under strict rules about what happens to any extra money they raise, which is why they're going for free transfers, and have been asking players to take pay cuts.

Real Madrid have a limit well over £600m, so they're probably the only club in the World that we'd be unable to compete with under these rules.

It's obvious why City opposed though - our income has jumped a lot over the last couple of seasons, and we're right up against this limit now, so would be stuck with money we can't spend.

What post was that?

Prestige car repairs basically said they heard from a good source that the charges have already been dropped mate.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Spurs at a guess

It's the only one that makes much sense, isn't it?

Any of them would benefit from limiting spending of those with higher income, but would also limit themselves in so doing.

The devil will be in the detail of how it's calculated.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal all voted for it.

Surprised at the latter two.

Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal all voted for it.

I hadn't seen that - I'd seen Ziegler mention some who voted against it, but nothing about who had voted for.

 

[Skrastins]

so 500mil on everything - transfer fee, wage and agent fee’s per season or ever?

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

We'll just have to rely on the best academy in world football then

 

[argyle]

Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal all voted for it.

Lol. Damaging the league all to stop City.

 

[mexico1970]

Will this mean that raising season ticket prices would be put on hold?

 

[eastmanc]

It’s a joke the way they keep changing the rules. Whatever rules they try - they just can’t stop us & end up hurting themselves:-)

They are really desperate.

It is very rarely we do break any record regarding Transfer Fees and at the minute we do have limits on how much we do pay our players. The only issue with this ruling is it is extremely stifling

 

[bluenova]

Surprised at the latter two.

I'm not - they're both below the limits - Arsenal by some distance I believe. For now, it keeps City and United within reach, probably with the hope that they remain competitive, and can cream off regular profits.

Let’s get ticket prices reduced then.

 

[ancoats]

So how can anybody vote for that ?? Skysport and TNT games will be now all about the top 6 clubs' home games
the small club's games will never be shown on their home grounds,

 

[Beaker]

Surprised at the latter two.

I’m not, especially Liverpool. Their wonderful owners don’t want to spend money as it reduces the dividends they can take. Anything that reduces their transfer outlay without rubbing the supporters up the wrong way will be fine by them.

 

[ancoats]

The Transfer Market will be a joke and all about free transfers and loans, Players will now run down their contracts and move on a free and Big signing on fees

 

[lust overlord]

Surprised at the latter two.

Not really,......vote for it,this time because it'll help them not being left behind while they pay off debts accrued for stadiums etc.
Then a few years down the line,lo and behold they'll be agitating to change it again.
How many times have the goal posts been shifted in the last decade?

 

[I'm Blue]

Let’s get ticket prices reduced then.

Makes me laugh the amount of fans that want these rules.
The only thing it will achieve is it will make the PL weaker and the owners richer.
Fans won’t see any benefit.

 

[Ducado]

It's an agreement in principle not an agreement a long way to go before that happens,it will get thrashed out and changed and be meaningless when it comes into force

 

[give it to gordon]

Do I understand this this correctly that spending will be capped by what the not so wealth clubs can afford ?
