I am sure City will find 115 ways to avoid playing by these rules.

[readmore]

Getting rid of agents will have quite a big effect.

[arunr]

FFP was bought in to protect teams like Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal. To allow them to spend as much as they want but restrict other teams from spending. It's a way to protect the big clubs and make sure no other clubs replaces them. Glad that City has done what they've done to the 'big clubs'.

[SothInertia]

What they are not mentioning here is what will happen if they spend more than this new spending cap?

[itwoznotme]

does this include the brown envelopes to daddy haaland etc?

[Futre]

Does this mean people will remove stupid agent costs? If i knew i had 100m to spend in the summer. I wouldn't want an agent taking 20m of my budget.

[jodyking]

Just think. All these FFP rules are literally only being put in place because of Newcastles new ownership. The whole league suffers just because the premier league doesn’t want Newcastle competing with Man City. It’s so pathetic. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

[gregbeales]

Sorry they are arguing that the league is exciting because Man City can outspend everyone? That’s the biggest problem with the excitement in the league. Everyone is complaining about how they win it every year and it’s boring

[abaable]

Any owner should be allowed to spend what he/she wants as long as the club stays away from any kind of dept. PSR exists just to maintain the top six status quo.

[deanboucher]

I think its good cause transfer fee's are getting silly along with wages

[xqncqgc]

Of course Man City voted against it lol 😂😂😂😂😂

[sonpacho]

As an outside observer, the "competitive in Europe" argument doesn't seem like a good one to use in a year when all the Premier League teams were eliminated from the CL. It was teams from leagues with "spending rules" that beat them.

[sleepy_dobe]

On the one hand, it is good to have such rules in place to ensure healthy competition among almost all clubs in the EPL. But on the other hand, it would inhibit the competitiveness of clubs involved in European competition since their continental counterparts aren't subject to the same spending cap.

Also, if it's a fixed multiple of the bottom club's earnings from whatever sources, then clubs with way higher revenue because of gate receipts, commercial deals, sponsorships, investments etc will have no incentive to continue working hard on increasing their revenues and that in turn will materialise into less spending on infrastructure maintenance, fans engagement, community engagement, etc. And if they start to cut back on efforts promoting themselves, would that negatively impact on the marketing value of the EPL? Need to really look at the long-term knock-on effects of a hardline one-size-fits-all cap.

[Jeff_x]

Can someone please explain in the simplest way how this works?

[jakelister]

Question is will the obnoxious tv subscriptions reduce?

[truethug]

Basically making their own rules so they don’t suffer themselves. It’s less about how much they can spend but how much punishment they can escape if they go over. Rules are as important as the punishments for breaking them.

[paulfillingham]

The actual reality of club spending in the PL is not what most of you think. The real figures are out there publishing by the PL itself and Man City are not and have never been the biggest spenders in the PL. So before you open your mouths get the facts right.

[MattMajcan]

Well thats it, the league is fully americanized now and I've lost all interest. might as well go back to the NFL

[brianhall]

Will come in in the year 2547 on the Premier Leagues trajectory. Everyone says its a broken system and clubs cant compete so i know keep screwing the little clubs over and keep it going. How about employing some people who know what they are talking about to get it done yesterday. Dragging their feet as per usual corrupt

[mohammadsoleman]

why setting a cap that is a set number for all teams whereas it's clearly should be only relevant to each team itself also why limiting it to broadcast while clubs are busting their as**s off to get more popular and raise revenue from shops, tickets, ads, sponsors..
etc
