Looking at those clubs, does it really play against clubs solely based on the "buy to sell" approach

All clubs whose owners are just happy to exist in the league.

TBA with a 'tax' on anything spent above that would be sensible.

So if a club wants to pay £150m for a player, but have already maxed out their allowance, they can still go ahead and spend their own money so long as they also put £75m in the kitty to be spread amongst other clubs further down the pyramid.

Yh. The EPL could learn a lot from US sports in that regard.

Premier League clubs to be banned from selling assets to themselves

Clubs will no longer be able to sell assets like hotels and women's teams to themselves from next season as the Premier League moves to a new system of Financial Fair Play.

We can also include concerts and events at BMD in the revenue for this as “footballing costs”.

Another set of rules to maintain the status quo of clubs with the biggest revenues.
imo anything that restricts a benevolent owner from spending what they want is anti competitive.
Protect the clubs from the wanton waste of owners who load unsustainable debt on the clubs of course, but there must be a mechanism that allows a billionaire to blow their money as they see fit.
Maybe these share options that TFG keep doing are that mechanism, but capping spend against revenue is grotesque favouritism towards Man U, Liverpool etc
