Also, they're proposing bringing in a new owner rule to allow for a specified period of accelerated investment, so they can compete, before the three year FFP monitoring period kicks in.

Absolute bollocks free market economy dont begrudge any sportsman or women the money they make.No one moans about Tom Cruise earning 20 - 50 mill a film.If you dont pay it someone will its like giving up your season ticket some one will pay the price for it.Each club has the ability to pay what they think a player is worth.If we put Erling up for sale there would be a queue a mile long to pay him 400 k a week.
That's the one thing I don't get, why are prices to watch football going up and up whilst the profits for clubs are huge because of TV deals etc.
The focus should be on making it a cheaper deal for fans.

Hmm... I wonder who that would benefit???This ^^^^

Makes you wonder if they are going to try and force this through before any Rag's takeover.
The clubs won't make things cheaper when they are losing money hand over fist. They lose almost £1b a year combined.That's the one thing I don't get, why are prices to watch football going up and up whilst the profits for clubs are huge because of TV deals etc.

They're copying it from UEFA mate.Hmm... I wonder who that would benefit???

When the two Milanese clubs were struggling to be sold because of FFP, UEFA changed the rules to include a new owner clause, but made it watertight so Sheikh Mansour couldn't sell City to his "brother" & spend a billion on the squad. The sale had to be to an unrelated party.
When UEFA brought this rule in, City pointed out that this is EXACTLY what we did in 2009 & suggested should be the case for all teams going forward, but UEFA said rules was rules & we'd broken theirs... \0/

Do you remember that bollox when the BT deal was signed and it was reported that gate money was so small in comparison that they could have let fans in for free theoretically?

I am not conflating the two things mate, what I am saying is that football costs too much it needs reigning in.

They'd possibly base the cap on the previous season. However if the following season was poor & you exited all the cup early, you'd have a higher wage bill, with lower return.It's nonsense what is currently being suggested.
The wage cap would realistically have to be separated from cup competitions as no club knows how far they will get in the cups,so how could bonuses for winning such as CL be worked out.
Clubs that were not in Europe could max out their figure while those likely to go far would have to make adjustments, surely a non starter.
The only way it could work is if bonuses were added for cup success in addition to the basic wage & league bonuses. It could get seriously complicated...
It’s an entertainment business.
The biggest stars earn the biggest money because they generate the biggest money.
Not sure why there’s always the spotlight on what footballers earn, when other people in the entertainment industry get a free pass.
Covid being the perfect example of that.
There’s a reason the tv deals are worth billions, it because of the better players play the better football.
Ask the tv stations, the media and the premier league to put a cap on their salaries.
I’ll hazard a guess that this will be stacked towards the ‘bigger’ clubs, meaning they can spend a percentage on wages rather than an x amount cap.
Protect the history boys at all costs.

Yeah the rise in income was more than the gate receipts, however they still continue to make a loss overall with 75% in the red in their last accounts. That is why they continue to try and squeeze every penny they can.Do you remember that bollox when the BT deal was signed and it was reported that gate money was so small in comparison that they could have let fans in for free theoretically?
