PL Clubs vote against anchoring but vote for SCR

No surprise whatsoever anchoring was rejected, a little surprising 6 voted in favour of it, but the most worrying by far is that this was even proposed in the first place.

Anybody with common sense can immediately identify the very severe drawbacks of such a system, so for it to even be suggested should be deeply concerning.

But hypothetically speaking, if the PL managed to become so successful that the bottom team earned as much as say the 5th or 6th best in Spain, then every club would be in a decent position in terms of European competition.

If the league went to shit and viewing figures dropped and the bottom team didn't earn much, then there could be issues.

I still wonder also where (potentially) the money will come from to pay our legal costs etc, if we win the 115. If it just results in lower prize money to teams in a future season(s), then this could definitely have knackered teams spending limits.
 
This?
"Think of it this way. Every club will start next season on 85% + 30% allowance, so effectively 115%.
Any clubs that spend above 85% will face a fine, but they would need to be in excess of 115% lose points."



Ah right cheers. Big leeway that it looks like 85% a year but the 3 year 115% is the top limit before points will be docked!

I posted this on the Paramount+ deal thread but I wonder if the PL and CL are getting time to get some long term financial deals in place before the 115+ verdict is given
 
Have City decided to become one of the cartel and fuck every one else by putting rules in to make sure we're ok and another team can't come along and break up the arrangement?

Give it a couple of years and we'll vote for the draft system to replace transfer fees, along with no relegation and playing both Derbies in Tampa.
 
La Liga and Serie A must be gutted, and rightly so. This law would have seen the PL diminish as a second or third rate league.

They knew if that salary cap anchor came in, their leagues would have been able to attract the best players salary limit free and the top teams not having their salary limits bound by the income of the lowest team.

Italy in particular have just introduced a Beckham tax if I am not mistaken allowing relatively low tax rates for foreign footballers allowing them to compete at the top for the best players.

Not really think there’s only a couple of clubs that breach 85% currently and to be honest any club spending 90 % plus just on squad costs are most likely operating at a fairly big loss and risking the clubs.Considering any club wanting a chance of playing in Europe needs to get down to 70% this isn’t a big deal.

Thanks for the clarification.

I was getting concerned we were jumping into bed with the rags to protect them cunts as well.
