Can someone clarify what the PL mean by "bottom of the league club" when it comes to working out what everyone can spend?
Do they mean the team that finishes the league at the bottom sets the cap for next season or do they mean the bottom team when you put clubs in order of TV revenue? Because they aren't the same thing...
If it's via league position then you *could* in theory see some match fixing going on at the later stages of season to try and manipulate which club comes bottom for more spending power the season after...
All details that we don't know yet, but you are right, it could be that the bottom club in the league gets more money than a higher club, because clubs get money for each match shown live. Iirc, Liverpool got more PL broadcast revenue than City last year because more of their games were shown live.
I magine the anchor will be the lowest share of broadcast income, not the broadcast income of the lowest club.

I agree with some of your points but it is not true that the wider pyramid is "struggling to make ends meet." Lower league and non-league clubs are booming with their highest attendances (and revenues) in history. There have always been some crooked and useless owners and always will be. Clubs used to go bust regularly in the 1960s and 70s. Football in England has never been stronger at all levels. The coverage in the media is just a false narrative. A lot of it is driven by people like EFL boss Rick Parry for his own personal reasons.There's a lot of pressure from external sources - the EFL, the political sphere etc for the PL to better regulate clubs and their spending. The idea initially was to prevent clubs going bust, but that was just a cover for essentially protecting the historic elite. Now it's all an obsession over profit and loss but doesn't perhaps provide enough mitigation for clubs going up and down the leagues or having external issues and it's creating uncertainty over the actual league table and what it might look like once punishments/appeals have been dealt with.
You've got the wider pyramid struggling to make ends meet whilst the PL clubs, particularly at the top, are pulling further and further away.
The caps elsewhere in Europe and with UEFA are stricter so the PL shouldn't decline. But it depends whether the product remains as attractive. If things are impacted and revenues drop so will the amount the clubs can spend and it will lead to a decline in the future. Right now that's not a risk, but we'll see how long it lasts.
In rugby it's not had any benefit. You've even got English players who sacrifice an international career to go and make money abroad. Similarly with cricket. Again, not a risk currently in England but again perhaps in the future.

The PFA will completely oppose it.
Can't see it happening because of this.
