Are there any rules to stop that.
Precisely.

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.
Platini: "There is one club who won't like this but they don't matter as everybody else wants it. They can spend £300 million a year if they want but they can't play in Europe"
That's what he said.
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)
