No it’s not. It is the basis of ffp and what goes into our accounts. But it doesn’t measure the gross amount spent on transfers, so you could argue gross spend is a better guide to actual transfer activity.

I've long argued that it's a meaningless metric.

Net spend has nothing to do with FFP. The new version is based on player costs as a percentage of revenue.

Spitty On Sunday.

Wants Arsenal to win the PL title as it’s not good for the PL and English footbal that the same team wins the title constantly. Unless it’s Liverpool way back in the 70’ and 80’s. And United for 2 decades. And Arsenal and Chelsea when they were dominating PL football. During these periods of domination by 1 team, not once did I hear it was bad for English football.

Spitty has realised the game is up as far as the Dippers are concerned , Clubshop will not get the money needed from the Yanks , no Champions league means top players will not sign for them anyway and they are yesterday's news. Beating them to four of the last five titles has scarred the Dippers and i am going to thoroughly enjoy their demise to mediocrity , were as we will carry on business as usual challenging for the big prizes and every one we win will be a dagger through the Dipper's hearts. Lovely

Surely the limits on losses mean that net spend is still relevant to ffp?

In my 52 years of watching football and in the 130 odd years of professional football the words net and spend only came together when the teams in red were being out spent by Chelsea and then City. Not once growing up did I discuss net spend with my mates and it has little relevance to ffp in my opinion. It's entirely about maintaining the status quo

Except that, when calculating spend as a percentage
of income, player sales are included in income, unless UEFA have changed this recently. The spend ratio allowed will eventually fall to 70%, so income from sales will be important.
Similarly applicable to loss limits.
I too did not discuss these matters in the old days, but there was no ffp to discuss!
