City & FFP | 2020/21 Accounts released | Revenues of £569.8m, £2.4m profit (p 2395)

I think the supposed changes are sensible in general, as transfer sums are spiraling out of control. But their straight implementation would mean English club losing the advantage of a monstrous TV-deal. Bayern can get top players from Bundesliga for free, and the German FA seems to be content with it. Real and Barca can hoover youth talent from La Liga for cheap. City, Utd, Pool, Arsenal, Spurs don't have that luxury.
 
We seem to be selling quiet a few youngsters every year from the academy not so sure whether even these stupid limits will affect us.

We had a record year for incoming transfers last summer and a record year for outgoing and spent €153m net. It could well affect us if other clubs keep spending stupid sums on individual players, although we have a fairly young squad overall.

What's fucking stupid about this rule is that either Barca or Madrid will need to break it within a few years of implementing it and they'll just write another exemption and have to come up with something even more hare brained next time to try and keep their darlings dominant.

Barca, Madrid and Bayern can get talents from domestic leagues almost for nothing, Spanish, German and French pools of youngsters are very strong. The new rules would heavily hit English clubs, including Utd, as PL have more rich clubs (in fact, all PL clubs are rich), and English system of developing youth has been terrible for a while.
 
I imagine it won't really effect clubs who have already invested in a world class academy, and will have a steady stream of ready made players for themselves, or young players ready to sell to other clubs. I would imagine it would effect clubs who have to buy ready made (older) players who are good for shirt sales, but have little resale value at the end.
Maybe the deluded still think we are a sugar daddy run club and have no proper business model. The probably think this will somehow effect us more than other clubs. We already have everything in place for long term success.
The most we have ever spent on one player (not including add on's) is DeBruyne at £55m. United have spent more on DiMaria (£65m/Lukaku(£75/Pogba(£90). Real Madrid/Barcelona/PSG have blown those figures out of the water. Yet we are inflating the market. Some clubs have wild debts/shareholders to pay. Yet we are the problem!!!

Let them bring it in, it will be fun to watch them squirm when it doesn't have the desired effect!

Bayern will be unaffected. Barca and Madrid have been reliant on buying in marquee players from abroad for quite some time.
