New PL financial controls | Clubs agree squad spending cap 'in principle'

[TinFoilHat]

Is the draft system in operation yet?

Not in the ground it isn't. Tastes like overpriced piss.

This is ridiculous, the Premier League voting to destroy itself is just unbelievable

Stories like this enhance my belief that we have won the charges case.

The PL have failed to stop us at the request and pressure from the red tops. So instead they turn the league into an absolute shit show in a blind acceptance that the Super league conversation will soon rear it's head again.

The owners will love it though as it means they won't have to spend a penny and are always guaranteed a dividend payment to themselves. The American way

Then the tv revenue will fall we end up like Italy after there dominance! Cant see it be voted in by 2 3rds

I think it will go through quite comfortably.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Non binding? Pointless

 

[NorthamptonBlue]

What odds FSG have found a work around to sign 4 100 million plus players whilst we cannot?

Haven’t they pretty much done that already before the vote? I’ve never seen them spend like they did in the summer.

It's not unbelievable at all given the PL is run by complete and utter arseholes.
They are as corrupt as UEFA and FIFA, and significantly more useless.

Dumb idea that I can't see being brought in unless all top leagues around the world agree.

A better idea would be a percentage of salary spent going down the pyramid.

Tbf on a separate note the tv revenue probably does need to fall. It’s completely unsustainable

Of all the dumb ideas the PL have come up with, this has to be the dumbest (apart from none-transparent VAR). Will stop there in case it becomes a 'What have the Romans ever done for us?' sketch.

Don't diss VAR @BlueHammer85 will be all over you!! :-)

 

[Salford_Blue]

Can see rags going to court to stop this. Spending shedloads is their game plan

More money in Jim's back pocket. What's not to like for him or the Glazers?

Hopefully it'll help pay to get Pauline from laundry reinstated.

So some other bent owner can get money without investing

Claims it's unsustainable have been made every time the deal has increased.

Being the wonderful owners they are, I'm pretty sure they will re-invest any surplus into infrastructure and other projects excluded from the rules.

Assuming that us, United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Spurs would definitely oppose it, then they only need to get one other club on board (say Newcastle, Villa or Forest) to defeat it.

I'm possibly missing the point, but who do you think is driving these changes if none of those clubs are?

If this gets passed it wont be long until the drawbridge is pulled up and promotion and relegation is a thing of the past. This is the exact sort of thing that the regulator was designed to crush.
