He is assuming Chelsea will continue to qualify for the CL and therefore have a bigger income than teams like City, Spurs and Villa and therefore meaning they can spend more than City, Spurs and Villa.
Neville Kneville said:City will find a way around this but as has already been mentioned, how can other clubs hope to force their way into the elite if they're going to be subject to constraints that those elite clubs didn't have when they got there in the 1st place?
They're hoping to stop City but they know that if they can't do that, at least this will guarantee that most of the elite get in the Chump's league most seasons as the clubs below will never be able to bridge the gap. It makes my blood boil. These people are quite disgusting when you really think about it.

That's what he said.
Can you attract players good enough to win the PL without being in CL?Cobwebcat said:There is a way this works for us.
Carry on spending and get baned from the CL if we finish top 4.
Disasterous? Not for long. The big 4 cut spending to qualify for the CL but we don't. We win the PL year in year out. Everyone happy? Of course not the Big 4 are at a massive disadvantage domestically and complain again to UEFA. UEFA's threat hasn't worked the rules are changed. We calm our spending and in return and we are in the CL.
You can spend what you like in the Prem.
How will the CL sponsors like no PL Champion allowed to enter the CL ?
Short term problem if we ignore the threat and just carry on.

What does he do if we just say "OK" and carry on? The measure is meant to control us and bring us into line. If we ignore it and go to the front of the line anyway he's lost (in the long run)
