Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

League desperate to stop man city any way possible

You mean the league wants to stop City and clubs like them continuing to operate with impunity.

It's not sustainable for English football from the PL all the way down to the pyramid for a select few to be ran the way it has.

As long as the execution is right, the PL should absolutely look at better ways to regulate how spending occurs in the best interests of the Game and not 3-4 teams.

Yeah, they rather shoot themselves in the foot that have City run the league.

PSR was a sham, penalized clubs in the bottom half of the table(most of whom were conned by the American owners to vote for it). So now they propose a salary cap based on the TV revenue of the last placed team.

What attracts players to the shyt weather and shyt food of England? Money and the lure of playing in the most televised league in the world. Mid table clubs like Chelsea and United can buy questionable youth prospects like Amad Diallo and Madueke, with these new rules these clubs have a much smaller margin for error when making transfers. Same goes for the man dem that thought they could find a world class talent in Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus.

The margins of error being smaller is better in the long-term if it means clubs are more selective with how they spend money and you know, clubs are responsible for actually coaching players and not just splashing cash.

Also have to account for the insane money spent on agent fees.

You are a Manchester City fan though so, there's that, lol.

Let’s keep it a buck nobody cares about west ham hoisting the trophy. They only care about 3-4 teams, city being one of them.

I'm not too familiar with how Premiere League rights fees are distributed. Could this change also be about making sure everyone's equally invested in getting favorable TV terms, similar to the NFL?

a salary cap is about league stability and increasing competition.

like in american leagues.

MU voted against it but i wouldn't have a problem with it.



if they want to increase the cap they need to share the TV income more evenly.

the WOULD care if they knew west ham had a chance. There's a reason why Leicester winning was so insane and memorable.

That was a great season of football though. If the top six clubs can't thrive despite their clear financial advantages they shouldn't be there.

My GOAT Super eagle in the 90s. I hope he does well.

Gabi is getting a two year ban for “allegedly” trying to fraud a doping test. I think I’m taking a break from football for a while.

Gabi has been cleared to play by CAS.

Not sustainable? Funny nobody complained when United won every year, used the season to scout players and pillage the league every summer.

Now we have a premier league that is #1 in TV revenue and besides the very top tier of superstar (outside of Haaland) attracts the world's best. They should do all they can to preserve that but instead want to shoot themselves in the foot.

Oh yeah, when the verdict on them 115 charges comes up I'll be right here to see you lot waffling about technicalities. Mans dem think the worlds most reowned accounting firms letting City submit fraudulent financial reports? Lol I'll be here.

Damn thread title accurate
