New League wide financial system.

If im a newcastle fan or whatever team. Whats the point? Cant spend money and only the big boys allowed dine at top table

You should be grateful your team get to experience the 'famous' Anfield atmosphere once a year, and see a dodgy penalty given against you at the Theatre of Dreams.

So Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, Villa, West Ham, Wolves, Palace, Bournemouth and Forest didn't want the proposed EFL deal.

Interesting that City were fine with it, more interesting that United apparently were (maybe Ratcliffe is bringing a change - judge what they do, not what they say).

Pretty ironic some clubs (wonder who?) were threatening to sue the IR if a solution is imposed :) Damn clubs with their expensive lawyers.

If ever there was a solution that should be based on a % of a club's revenue, this is it. Not some idiot cost control measure that the usual suspects favoured. Arseholes.

Answer is SIMPLE.

ALL CLUBS under UEFA should have a spending limit…the SAME LIMIT. No club can exceed it. That limit is a % of the average revenues of the clubs in that league/division for the previous reporting year.

Making it a % of each individual club’s revenue only allows the big clubs to get bigger and the smaller clubs more unable to compete.

If top club earns $20M and next club $19M, $18M and so on, all the way to the bottom club making only 1M in revenues. If you average the revenues you get $10.5M. If total spend was set at a % of that, some clubs could max it out, others might be under it, but it would be the same limits for everyone and not the sliding scale that currently allows the biggest clubs to get even bigger.

TV revenues should be shared EQUALLY between every team in a division.

Away tickets set at 10% of home capacity and £20 per ticket, no exceptions.

Beyond that, there could be a sustainability fee, based on “excess revenues” that funded football, from the grassroots up, an infrastructure fund that helped clubs improve their stadia and access infrastructure, and a set of high minimum standards for stadia across the country.

And bring back the 20% of gate receipts for the away team while we're at it. But let's be honest, the big clubs will throw their toys out of the pram again if any of those measures are brought in.

Scummy Jim's just hedging his bets, as he can now see what a pile of scum he's bought, and fears that it's heading back to the EFL in a year or 2.
Scum.

Is that what they do in USA?

It's the same argument that athletes who can afford or get sponsored to train at altitude for months shouldn't be allowed because they have an unfair advantage.

All sports are unequal that's the nature of the beast, those silly Americans with their draft picks and wage caps will be the death of us if we don't fuck them off.

 

[dadnlad]

Well if going off the past 3 seasons United have made losses so how could they spend money before reducing the debt as well? Allowing clubs to only spend 85% of revenue should only be for clubs that are not in debt, Clubs in debt should be made to pay off their debt first

it cant be right buying more players on the drip when already maxed out on that facility
if rags or anybody in debt wants new toy then money up front if need players or sell to buy
someone will put it better than me but you get what saying

Fuck me, you need a PhD in contract law and accountancy to be a football fan now!!! Can't keep up with all this.

You need to log into Twitter then pal. Loads of experts on there giving free advice...honest!

It's not how well your team play it's how many clubs your group owns and how many percent of your earnings you can spend on players if you amortise it over 5 years.

Remember when you got most of your info from the matchday programme?

World is falling apart

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Think they voted on the framework only.

On r5 this morning they said the lower leagues thought there was a deal, voted and agreed to the terms.

But the PL have not followed through and no sign of a vote or other deal. So no progress.

 

[Elbow beards]

What a shit show, not surprised people are getting pissed off with football.

 

[spinney]

The new rules will exist for one reason only....

If a club can only spend x% of their revenue.... who gets the rest? The rich American dude :D

Correct , they certainly won't spend it on facilities or the local community

 

[spinney]

So basically fans of clubs outside of us , Liverpool, Trafford , Arsenal and Spurs should just accept they will never compete at the highest level ? They should also be content to have their best players cherry picked every season . If that’s what all this is designed to do then the game is dead .

It's been happening since the PL started

 

[Blue Feather]

Desperate re-think as City have fucked them.....I'm not clever enough to fully understand FFP and all the bullshit except that it was invented to protect the usual suspects and stop others. I've always thought that City have broken that and played the cartel's 'make it up as we go along' little game far more effectively. As stated previously, we'll take the shit for a few years and have little doubt that we'll smash the witch-hunt but we will get used as the battering ram for the red shirts to come out the other side with something that suits them more than anyone else. The recent and current mumblings of 'changes' and the reasoning behind it is so obvious it's cringeworthy

 

[spinney]

UEFA are all clean and above board. Just ask David Gill next time the rags play and he shamelessly sits there.

With his club tie on

 

[mancboy]

Why do we even bother with pitches anymore, quite soon sky will be broadcasting old farts in suits arguing to decide the outcome of a game and fans will need a degree in foensic accounting to understand what the fuck is going on.

That will go well for City ?
