Unless I’m not understanding,likely, it makes no sense. If clubs that can least afford it can spend over their income and the same as us, how is that stopping them going into massive debt?
Or have I misunderstood?
We don’t know the details in full but as ‘halfcenturyup’ says, there is clearly more in the details.My question again, then is what is to stop Brentford borrowing 350 million (actually more because of capitalisation, but let's keep it simple), making a 350 million loss and going bankrupt the same year? There must be more to it than this ......
The fact that you can’t see the point doesn’t surprise…Not sure what your point is?
The PL is far more successful currently than La Liga. They screwed themselves with how the tv rights are done and with their new financial restrictions.
I don’t judge CL winning as a measure of success, two of semi finalists haven’t won their leagues this year, people have just bought into a gloried European wide League cup competition. Just look at why PL don’t produce more winners of it, more, harder matches, no winter break (that’s any good) 2 cup competitions, foreign leagues helping out their teams PL seems to actively do the opposite.The fact that you can’t see the point doesn’t surprise…
You rageposted that La Liga was ‘fucked’ as ‘only two teams can win’ due to spending restrictions when the PL with no spending restrictions is on course to produce the same winner 6 times out of the last 7…
The same La Liga that is ‘fucked’ is also on course to win its 2nd CL in 3 years with the ‘more successful’ PL not producing a single semi-finalist.
I agree with this. Plus other leagues will soften their financial rules if it means the PL becoming weakend.

We don't have to do anything - our wages are only that high because of treble winning bonuses.
We can't win a treble again this season so our wage bill will go down a lot.
surely the transfers piece must be amortised over the period of the contract?
If this brings the level of competition in the league closer then you have no issues from me, if everyone can spend the exact same amount of money on players I don't really see what the issue is - if it's applied correctly.

And so you see that we're right on the edge. But the stupid thing is that we wouldn't know we were right on the edge until the end of the season when all of these bonuses were activated. But it's also worth mentioning that while we are on the edge, in our most expensive ever season, we're still operating within the proposed rules, which raises the question, what problem are you solving? If it doesn't force us and the other top teams to cut our spending and does nothing to redistribute funding to the lower teams, then what's the point of it? Other than to give some suits something to make themselves feel important?
Yes, that's one factor in a very complicated monitoring of wages, amortisation and loss/profit on sales and squad sizes.
This may do away with the good business practice of tying wages to success, though, because if you have more success than expected, it could throw your squad cost over the limit. No?
Turkeys voting for Christmas again!So does this mean it would be pointless for us to carry on selling our academy graduates each summer,as net spend would be taken out of the equation?I probably shouldn’t comment until I’ve a better understanding of the proposals but it’s f’kin nonsense isn’t it!?The best players will all end up in Saudi,playing in front of crowds of five thousand,for a million a week!Are they really that f’kin stupid!
You're assuming this means it raises the level of competition, whereas it would stifle the level of competition.
No, from what we know there is no limit on salary spread across the squad so PL clubs can still match anyone but they’d have to offset a mega earner with ‘low’ earners, dare I say it, academy graduates…Won’t this damage teams going for European glory, they can be outbid by Madrid Bayern etc for the top players?
