Why would they remove an advantage with outbidding other leagues with high wages?
I still remember Felipe Anderson was rumoured to both Juve and Barca but went for West Ham. He would never choose that out of any football decisions outside of wages.
I wonder if this’ll have an F1 effect in that Mercedes (City) don’t do too well on a more level playing field?
That’s one way to lower the quality of the league
Can we vote penalising refereeing mistakes instead? I think 1 wrong decision = 1 weeks pay deduction.
Decisions voted for by foreign people who have no interest in the prem
They’re going to vote no, spoiler.
I have no idea how they work it, but the league does need to do something to prevent this bubble growing until it bursts.
Everyone wants to spend what they want until in 5 years’ time a Morgan Gibbs White costs 120M and clubs start to feel the pinch as they realise there’s no way to grow your revenue to match that alarming rate of inflation. Then we’ll be told again how these rules are only there to protect the rich 6, like they also wouldn’t be spending what they want as well as the other 14 while still actually having bigger revenues to protect themselves.
Newcastle – No
City – No
Chelsea – No
Who cares if billionaires over extend themselves. I want to be entertained.
Spending should be limited to what the clubs legitimately earn. Can’t have related party and shell company sponsorships or owners pumping their money in using other creative means. You eat what you kill.
Shouldn’t it be the other way round? Rather than forcing the biggest clubs to cut their spending (which will never happen), the smaller clubs should be able to spend so that they can become competitive?
I just don’t think you can ever force the big teams to lower spending, plus that might hurt the quality of the league as a whole. Plus we’ve seen the big clubs don’t abide by the rules anyway.
Man City pulling up the ladder behind them
So we no longer want the premier league to be the best league in the world I guess
They should have the luxury tax idea. Each club can spend X. However, you can spend above that. It’s just that you pay a tax, which is split with the rest of the teams. This should include salaries of the players as well.
They will vote and reject.
Why don’t they make rule such that small clubs could actually be allowed to spend more on transfers
As several have said, we need to stop the bubble bursting. How do you stop the bubble bursting, though?
The problem is the Premier League doesn’t exist in isolation. Today the La Liga president talked about games in the US, presumably to earn money to compete with the Premier League.
The Premier League is the top league internationally partly because it generates the most money. How do we clip the Premier League’s wings without impacting our performance in Europe and the league’s standing on the international stage?
Because you can bet that if given the chance, another league would find a way to jump in the Premier League’s place and riding it all the way until the bubble pops.
You need it to be throughout Europe or a cap required to compete in the Champions League for it to work.
Should be salary cap, not spending.
Everton deducted 28 points next year for spending 10 quid on corner flags.
Capitalism will eventually eat itself again and the premier league have to decide if they are willing to marry themselves to the market’s sustainability (which is a fallacy)or put in place strict regulations for clubs to follow.
I’d start with a % cap increase on domestic tv rights relative to the EFL. So we don’t the unsustainable £80m game each year. And I’d give more money to the team that finished bottom
The only negative here is I kind of enjoy watching Chelsea spend more than a billion in transfer fees to be a mid-table dumpster fire.
