Unbelievable

It make sense that the limit for teams qualifying for Uefa competition is in line with Uefa’s own rule, no..? It would we worse if the PL rule allowed a lower percentage for clubs not in Europe as that would really give the bigger clubs an unfair advantage. The proposed rule at least gives teams not in Europe a possibility to catch up, whilst providing some protection against clubs going bust. Everything hinges on what metric any percentage is taken of though. If its revenue of any kind that’s fine. If its artificially restricted revenue it’s as farcical as the current system in place.

Exactly. It can’t (continue to) be: you’re only allowed a stadium sponsor for 20m because your revenue is currently smaller than Manchester United’s, who have a 50m stadium sponsor. That’s a self-sustaining rule.

In isolation this would actually not be too bad, as long as they abolish stuff like the 3 year rolling loss limit and “fair” market value based on the perceived current size and reputation of the club rather than limiting it to not exceed the outright highest non-related party reference. In short, if owners can invest in their club a squad cost/wage cap, which in theory is the same for everybody as long as revenue is not capped, is the way to go.

Exactly this. If we had any more options Miley probably wouldn’t have seen any action this season. There’s a balance to be struck and in terms of numbers we’re doing it just about right. Multiple severe injuries at the same time have torpedoed our season. There’s lessons to be learned in terms of spreading the workload more evenly, and we obviously need more quality if we want to compete, but to call the combined midfield options of Bruno, Tonali, Joelinton, Willock, Longstaff, Anderson and Miley a “disgrace” is laughable.

Oh, you can do it like Ashley did, not pay a penny for such advertisement, no bother. “Fair” market value he lads..?
