You can spend 5 times what the bottom club earn but only 75% of your turnover? It doesn't make sense! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case it makes very little difference to our spending power, seeing as 70% of our turnover is going to be nowhere near enough to spend £450m.

It doesn't make sense! Presumably it's either 5x what the bottom club earn or 70/85% of turnover, whichever is lower. I've seen the argument that it at least caps what the big earners can spend, but by Kieran Maguire's calculations there's only Chelsea and maybe Man City spending above this 5x cap now, so I don't see it making any fundamental difference.

That's what I mean, it's impossible to have both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyaddiction Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I think it's a little unclear if it's as well as or in place of. At first I thought it was as well as, but a few places seem to think it's in place of it. Such as Kieran Maguire. Obviously there are the UEFA rules as well which would need to be complied with when in Europe, but the punishment on those seems less of a deterant.

It doesn't make sense! 85%, 70% is the UEFA rule. And yes, the two go together. So, we could spend 5 times that of the bottom clubs, but only up to 85% of our turnover. Which means, we couldn't spend 5 times that at all, but all the big boys still could as their revenue is so much greater than everyone else's.

It's not impossible to have both, it just means that the clubs with turnover of over £640m will have their spending capped at £450m whereas clubs with turnover below that amount will have their spending capped at 70%.

As long as they can get ahead far enough not to be threatened beyond the odd season or two of freak results, I doubt they'll lose any sleep over it. Just seems like a token pretence of fair play without actually roping the cartel clubs in any meaningful way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcnick Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) I wonder if now that they have 2 limits, that will be where you start moving into points deduction territory, break one of the 70% of turn over or hard cap and it’s just a fine, break both and it’s a heavy points deduction Edited April 29 by nufcnick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 9 minutes ago, r0cafella said: What’s the source for this relaxing or related party stuff? The regs themselves apparently. The bottom section: It ALSO opens up the opportunity for EPL to relax related-party deals... as hard cap x4.5/5 times of central broadcast revenues distribution creates an upper limit that doesn't stop investment, just market-distorting investments.

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 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? We just need to get the club tractor sponsor, official face cream, club gravy etc to get around all this nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
