Has anyone seen a proper analysis of this proposed new rule? By anybody sensible, I mean.
I still can't get my head around how this is going to improve the league, at least in conjunction with the 85% squad cost rule.
Grateful if anyone can point me to one.
It seems to me more and more that, after 15 years of trying to stop growth in City's revenue, they have finally found a way to solve their problem: just take revenue completely out of the equation. The fact it was suggested by Palace and supported by Arsenal doesn't dissuade me from that point of view.
If we are lucky this thing will get shot down in June, either because it is uncompetitive, or because it will lead to salary restructuring and limitation. Or because Masters finally gets a grip on the PL and gets these idiot clubs under control (what does the executive chairman do exactly?). I can dream, I suppose.
