Premier League agrees the "New Deal for Football" aka please don't regulate us.

League cup can be a great revenue raiser for some of the lower league sides. What a shame its being sacrificed for I don't know what.

A revenue raiser for the bigger clubs - expanded CL

Premier League clubs agree radical 'New Deal for Football' proposals

A key part of the new system of redistribution will be based on ensuring cash is spent on infrastructure rather than wages

www.telegraph.co.uk

The premier league teams have announced a new set of financial guidelines and regulations in the hope that the 2020 Superleague scandal won't end up in permanant governmental oversight.

Highlights in order of relevance to City -

- Cap on transfer+Wage spending across the Pyramid (a softer version of the new FFP, 70% of revenue)​

​

- No more League Cup for clubs in Europe​

​

- Relaxing Post-Brexit visa rules.​

​

- Guaranteeing a % of revenue is spent on infrastructure not wages.​

​

- Merit based solidarity payments.​

​

- Wage + Spending controls in the Championship.​

Cap ? welcome to mls 2.0 ffs

Should be left to a choice for the individual club to enter the league cup should they qualify for Europe .

dont think can do both as wednesday night cup changes and more pointless games added

I really hope we beat Chelsea tomorrow but it could also be our last ever league Cup game. A sad thought. The competition is part of our history.

No one will be able to do the domestic treble, only one club in history will have done it.

Presumably the winners of the League cup will lose their Europa League qualifying round place then

The biggest thing about the league Cup changes for me is that in years to come, it devalues the ones we have won.

It will no longer be seen as a major trophy so when looking back at trophies won in 20 years time, nobody will care about our league Cup wins or the domestic treble

The European competitors play the kids and fringe players anyway until the final so I don’t see the need to scrap it for ‘match congestion’. I understand the prize money is pittence compared to the rest of the trophies and that in lies the real reason. Unfortunately.

Just let teams enter weakened squads into the Carabao Cup, no need to get rid. It should all be done and dusted before Christmas though.
