Thats the issue for them. They want a closed shop..salary cap so they can make returns each year and the value of the 'franchise' goes up. The problem is the US sports have no competition (NFL/NBA/MLB) the prem would fall behind other leagues again. This is self destruction of the product.
The premier league was on the cusp of grinding the other leagues into dust after covid. Instead to stop City it has eaten itself.
Nail.on.head.
