How far does the related party stuff go? Lets say PIF bought Adidas, would our sponsorship deal with them then be limited or scrutinised more?

Yup. Scrutinised more, anyway.

Why would the “related sponsor” thing relax because of this? Sorry if I’ve missed it and the reasons for it. I just don’t see them changing it.

The idea seems to be that a ceiling has been created which means a team cant just spend a billion quid in a season, so related party rules can be relaxed.

Ok got it. So it’s just speculation then?

Yep and even then any rule changes to relax it would need 14 votes. Could never see it being changed now it’s implemented

With multi-club ownership more prevalent than ever, I think it's a matter of time.

Has the club voted against of these measures to change FFP/PSR?

It wouldn't make us worse off. It'll only make certain clubs slightly worse off. It's pretty meaningless though.

I can sort of see the appeal. Although it doesn't allow us to increase our spending, it theoretically puts a cap on the highest earning clubs so they can't outspend us by that much.

 

The key thing for us going forwards is the related party stuff. That's what's making it so hard to substantially increase our turnover and that's what's limiting what we can spend under the current (and proposed) rules.

No one expected today's vote to gain enough support, but it did...

I didn’t expect it either, but that’s because I thought it would make more of a difference. The %/turnover halts it. Only thing it would do is to halt the top revenue earners a bit, but not much. Always something I guess…

Fuck Europe off this year. Spend £250m in the summer. Pull back the season after and see which rules apply. They are making it up as they go along. Clear no one has an idea what to do and any changes could easily be challenged as a restriction of trade, so get in while we can.

Which, in turn, gives us a bargaining chip of sorts.

 

Think I read something that these rules on multiples are, magically, exactly about the amount Man City currently overspend compared to the bottom club now.

 

Be funny if an absolutely potless club gets promoted in future, maths fans.

 

I think it's based the money the bottom club gets from the PL, rather than the total revenue of the bottom club.

They really should have had this anchoring thing in place years ago and without the revenue percentage cap. That way all teams could’ve spent the same amount of money, creating more of a level playing field. Obviously you’d want some sort of owner backed assurance tied to it so clubs don’t overspend what they can afford.

From what I'm reading, at the moment this is something that is a non-event for us directly, but it is in the sense that it hinders the sky 6 and theoretically stops them pulling away further.

All of it is our doing. Said this so many times now. We've been GoT style seed planting and whispering in the background whislt looking compliant and submissive in public. 

 

We've torn them inside out. They've lost control of their own product, and will soon be replaced.
