timeEd32 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 5 hours ago, The College Dropout said: They won't ever. A lot of club owners like this setup. 6+14 like Ashley did. He was on the gravy train. Brighton have basically hacked the transfer market. Brighton qualified for Europe and sold £150m worth of player. They didn't bother reinvesting it all. No desire to kick-on. The thing I'm starting to understand less and less is why the 6 (and particularly 4 of them) aren't interested in blowing up all of the current rules in favor of a generous cap on wages + amortisation (let's say £4-500m). They'd still have a massive advantage over most, it would slow down City, they'd have UEFA's rules as a backstop to help hold back the likes of us, and, critically for them, it would allow profits to be claimed while slowing down the never-ending spending race. It may put them at a disadvantage to a handful of European clubs, but I don't get the impression that most of these owners care more about beating the likes of Madrid than they do about putting money back in their pockets.

KingArthur Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 9 hours ago, Thumbheed said: Free for all, by far. And it's not even close. Can easily make the argument that allowing uncapped spending would put us, PSG and City on a completely different plane to the rest of the clubs and make it even less competitive than it is now, which in itself would be total hypocrisy. Furthermore the implications of uncapped spending could be detrimental to the market and more importantly the fans. If a nation is allowed to spend whatever they want then why would they care what the fans think or want? And tbf, I did say they need updating to allow for competition to grow but not at the behest of the above. I dont think us or City would spend much more on players than Man United for example… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloydianMag Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 We’re nearly at the end of the first week of City’s arbitration case and no leaks so far. I wonder if that’s due to the case not going well for the PL or that all the journo’s have been warned off? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjohnson Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 As I said before this game is getting too complicated for anyone but advanced accountants and lawyers to understand.... Media s*** stirrers don't help. On one hand we're bidding 60m for Olise, and on the other we haven't got a pot to piss in without selling half the first team. Is it conceivable the club actually knows more about what's available than Sky and Talksport do? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 3 hours ago, Ginola14 said: you'd think PIF could just buy up some hotels and find a way to sell them off through the club so we could go big like Chelsea I know that's tongue in cheek, but this is exactly why I think it's the PSR rules need to change before the associated party rules do. That way, it's a slightly fairer and more level playing field for everyone, rather than some clubs (who able to) using various tactics to get around them. The other way around, i.e. keep PSR but allowing any sort of sponsorships etc to meet those rules, then it's just pulling up the drawbridge in a different way. In which case, I can completely understand fans of other clubs thinking that's just a different way to turn the league into a closed shop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it conceivable the club actually knows more about what's available than Sky and Talksport do? I think the basic view is that we need to balance the books before the end of June, after which we will be able to spend again due to our 1st year of transfers under the new owners coming off the books, and then the increase in commercial income. As it happens I don’t think the club would have put us in a position where we do need to sell or face a points deduction, we might be close to it, but I don’t think we would have crossed the line. Of course though, none of that sells copies of the Sun, gets people watching SSN, or phoning in to TalkSport, so the narrative will be that by the media.
