I think there are like 13 or 14 PL clubs where revenue was less than 250m for season 22/23. for 10 clubs it was even under 200m.
to tell them they cant spend more than 500m a year for wages, amortization etc, for most of them their total expenditure doesnt reach half of that amount which is more than just wages, player amortization and agent fees.
they will laugh as they were never going to spend 500m. not even close. only exception maybe Newcastle. even Villa wouldnt spend that much imo albeit they had high losses recently.
so this doesnt effect them much and probably happy to put the boot in for the top clubs.
then we have 6 clubs left (Big Six) with about revenues between 450 and 700m and 3 of them didnt vote for it. why Newcastle voted for it not sure, but overall I feel like Saudis changed their focus more on the Saudi legue instead following through with the big plans we hard of at the takeover. cant blame them with the amount of spider web regulation for PL FFP, its a nightmare now to turn this Newcastle side into title winning or CL powerhouse.
they had 250m revenue for 22/23, may hit 300m for 23/24 but thats it, next year no CL, so could drop back again and they spent most of their money imo so this next summer either will be a quiet one or have to sell a big name.
and even Ashworth fucked them off, after he brought them the disaster Tonali deal haha.
so only really Spurs, dippers, Arse are the ones who affected positvely from these rules, as their sweetspot maybe just around 400/500 m spend per season. they dont want to spend more than this going forward and happy if they can make sure the 3 other clubs with similar or better reveues cannot spend more either.
Villa with a bit of ambition recently can now see through what thes rules really good for, keeping them where they are and making sure that if they reach CL on the back of a good season well these rules can make sure they still cannot really ride this wave and will be a rare one off...
