Spending cap at last

[chrismpw]

Might level the playing field and turn the "entertainment" into a competitive sport again. At least until the corrupt goblins running it all figure out a way of subverting it.

It absolutely will not

It'll just be another nonsense "rule" that sounds impressive on paper but in reality will just be about protecting the establishment clubs and prevent everyone else from competing with them.

 

[barneygumble]

Won't change a thing, just another "tick box" exercise for the PL to show they're "trying".

And the first club to be docked points for breaching the spending cap is...

…..so still need to tread carefully on PSR for another 12 months;

It's based on the television rights of the lowest earning club. So it's not a cap on transfer spending then. Sauasage rolls? Pies?

It's around a £100mill.

Which, in principle, is a good thing if all clubs have a £100mill spending cap each season.

Get Usmanov back involved asap.

The clubs have agreed it in 'principle', which means that they haven't agreed it at all (and i don't think they ever will). Remember when the likes of Man U (successfully) whinged that they only kept 50% of their gate money when they should have it all. This will be the same.

I’ve just read something via TNT sport that says around 5 times the TV revenue for lowest placed club.

Would be surprised if it was anything near £100m based on that.

….the two Manchester clubs voted against whilst Chelsea abstained.

Its squad value limit isn't it? Not that they can go and spend £500 million a year now..

Yeah, 100 million would be absurd. Would be the end of the English football.

This might be the first step in the right direction.
As with all caps, there will be the under the table payments etc. But I think this is a better system overall than the current method.

Doesn't it work out x5 what the bottom club TV revenue is, so would be about £500m, though I think that includes wages, agent fees etc.

If it ran this season, only Chelsea/City run close.
