  1. Is anyone even able to buy with so many of the league either having to sell or potentially at risk of breaching FFP if they were to sign?

  2. The rules are bollocks. Ends up with clubs selling home grown players

  3. That’s an advertisement for a fire sale … we want (desperately need) £60million … oops here’s £30million take it or leave it 🕳️💰 oh look it’s nearly July 💥

  4. Oh wow, I am shocked the 115 shaggers are all there.

  5. These are the clubs in bed with 115 FC. They all want to dip their toes

  6. No surprise here.

    Also Inter and Barcelona need to sell players.

    Makes you wonder who will be buying ?

  8. “So how much do each of these clubs need to make to be compliant”

    “We can’t tell you because it’s a closely guarded secret by those clubs!”

    “So if it’s such a secret how do you know they may not be compliant?”

    “Errrrrr”

    If I was of a suspicious mindset then I might say that the source of the information may not be anyone connected to any of those clubs but rather the one club that has just decided to take the Premier League to court over PSR rules, the same club who almost certainly leaked out that they have ‘sympathetic clubs’ supporting them (something that at least for Newcastle, has already been denied by reliable local journalists)

    I think this is all just Man City trying to generate as much pressure as possible on the Premier League because they know that they are up shit creek without a paddle

  9. I guess this is why Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah are going to be sold

  11. So if they dump the players to be compliant by end of June as of July 1st they are free to start buying again?

  12. Why don’t these clubs simply sue the Premier League, are they stupid?

  17. So this is why Villa, Newcastle & Chelsea are supporting City 

  22. For the life of me, I don’t get why the deadline is so early in the window. Makes it very hard to get business done in like 5 weeks after the season close.

    Should be the day before GW1 of the next season.

  23. Most of these clubs are the ones supporting city against the PL lol

  31. City fans explaining that they want to scrap FFP to help less wealthy Premier League clubs really is the most remarkable bullshit you’re ever likely to hear.

  33. Oh my god. Just implement a salary cap for all teams. Take the current highest wage in the league and set the cap at that for now. Revisit and adjust the cap every few years. Eventually teams at the top will be forced to sell because nobody can afford to hoard high wage (& theoretically high end) players.

    FYI for those unfamiliar: a salary cap limits what a club can spend in total on player salaries, not how much they can pay each player. You can pay players whatever you want, but if the salary cap is say £180m/yr, you better be very fucking careful about offering an £18m contract to one player.
