Financial Fair Play

There was talk a while ago (Think it was when they had a quiet Jan window) that Villa went a bit too balls out and might need to sell a few this summer and reign it in a bit now
 
They need to cut their wages or find permanent increases to turnover. No team can bank on cl football (maybe city till their case is heard).
100%. More they need it next season to give themselves some breathing room to sort things out. If they don't get it they will have to sell a number of players and may have to offload some even with CL.

The problem most clubs have got (sans us)..is this balancing act has got real very quickly.

You could still be punting away last season, the season before thinking 'yeah, all we be alright' but the points deductions dished out so far have been a flashing blue light.

Its a debatable gravy train as it is ...half decent players cost £50m ... probably similar to UEFA income for a good year in the CL. Yes you'll probably get a bit more from your sponsors and maybe better deals when you renew those sponsorships but you're gonna need more than one player plus run the risk that you just might not qualify given the strength of your league.

Of course, you (your club) has to aspire, has to look upwards but breaking thru those ceilings is fraught with risk. The margins are fine and misteps can see something promising fall apart rapidly.
 

Seriously hoping this is gonads. Basically fining clubs for overspending. Why just not award city and Saudi Sportswashing Machine the next 10 league titles. Every other club just holding out their begging bowls.

Will destroy football in a host of ways.

Also the article is talking brick. The uefa rules for their new psr has points deductions as possible punishments (new format of the cl to come in next season).

Yes, thought PL was going to get in line more or less with uefa.

They are going to change to a percentage of revenue. In line with uefa. Which makes sense. Nobody knows who's going to qualify so why have 2 different set of rules to abide to?

It's the punishment being financial rather than points deduction i think is gonads. It gives clubs with unlimited wealth to do what they want and just pay the fine. It's not a punishment.

The mail article is gonads. There are enough owners in the prem that treat it as a business rather than a money pit. That won't vote for it.
 
This is good news for us... right?

Should be depending what the final rules are. Won't get everton and the like having £300m loses chasing the dream. Stadium and infrastructure spend is fine as is academy. Which will make clubs stronger. In the long term. So good for football.

Limit the degenerate gambler owners. Who just want to splurge cash thinking they'll get cl. Which just inflates wages and transfer fees for players. If they don't get it cut off the tap and leaves the club in a world of problems.

Kieran mcguire made this. An estimate of where each club is for the new spending rules (they will not come into effect till 2025/26 season though). We'll have to abide by the 70% cap next season (at least the second half) as will teams ineurope.

Seeing as most of City's revenue comes from companies with a PO Box in a corner shop, that means we're best placed, right?
 
More Importantly Chelsea are fudged right!?

They've got players to sell. Lukaku will be out of contract in the summer too. So no amortisation or wages for him.

But yeah they will struggle. No cl football again.

Also they should be charged for the dodgy accounts under abramovich. How long that will take is anyones guess though.

I thought the deadwood they needed to sell wouldn't make them any profit i.e Lukaku, Kepa etc. and then realistic ones to make them some decent money would be the homegrown ones like Gallagher, Chalobah and Broja, Except no one will be paying the the 30mill that they want for Broja or Chalobah.

Realistically setting the limit at 85% might not keep clubs out of trouble. Are all other club costs covered by just the other 15%?.

We've not seen the final print of what the rules will be yet. It may be like the old that owners may have to cover a certain amount of losses with equity.
Really couldn't say at this point.
