No, but there are restrictions to ensure competitiveness. See supermarket take overs, e.g.Yep does any other industry have rules that stop newbies ?

Wasn't it mentioned a while ago that only City, Villa and the rags were against the anchoring rules?I'm surprised it even went to a vote, given that it was so comfortably defeated. The PL must have known that it was doomed to fail.
115% cap over 3 years interesting number
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.
This?Where you read that
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."

Premier League clubs vote in favour of new financial rules
The Premier League will move to a new system of financial fair play based on squad costs from next season.www.bbc.co.uk
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 givenBut 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.
I believe its called yankeringThis is yankification by the back door
One way of making it more difficult for Haaland to score.I do cos I can see UEFA moving the goalposts again

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.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.

Interesting that Matt Slater is reporting that both City and United flipped on the SCR vote:
