New Financial Fair Play Rules

[Cereal Killer]

Why did anyone vote for this shit?

At least the PSR all teams had a limit to play within and it was kinda even for everyone

SCR just lets the big six spend way way way more, every season, without fail

Whilst everyone else might be able to spend a little bit more, but then just hamstrung by having to spend whatever you make in the same year or it just disappears

What does it cost to get a mid table team into the CL spots. And what kind of revenue does it return, all up.

Compare that to what it costs for those already there to stay there.

[Cods]

As an aside, we've made a transfer net profit in player trading in 5 out of the last 6 seasons.

And combined we've spent the second lowest in the league over that time. Second only to Brighton, by the cost of a Maitland Niles.

[Jamokachi]

It's such a fucking mess.

Its just the realization and acceptance that 'This is it now'. The order is established now and forever more. 31 years will likely become 41 years. We will pay more and more each year to see us remain one of the supporting cast.

I think its more likely than not that none of us will be alive to see everton win another meaningful trophy

I think owners like these rules because they can point to them and say "see, our hands are tied, cant spend big" while the asset (ie club) continues to appreciate in value.

Thats why all clubs voted in favour, the owners want asset appreciation more than the chance to outspend others to get success. Maybe they get lucky and get some success despite not spending money - but if they dont they just need to stay in the league to have a big profit down the line.

I’d not used that site before. Fairly eye opening in terms of the restrictions for each club.

So based on this, if I'm right, had we spunked £40M on Balogun we would have been in the shit?

No, I think it’s a bit more complex with how they spread the cost over multiple years.

Would’ve put our spend closer to Sunderland. Which still seems wrong.

The incentive to sell young, homegrown players for profit is so wrong.

So many young players getting lost in the shuffle of all this when they should be developing at the club they grew up in, in a settled environment.

Spot on Ram, it should be encouraged not discouraged. It'll do nothing for our national team long term

I expected to see Chelsea right up there in the red zone, but Bournemouth, who always appeared to be pretty well run was a surprise.

I don't want to sound OTT with this, but essentially clubs developing a young kid and then selling once they're 19-20, even if they don't want to leave, and forcing them to move hundreds of miles away from family and their support network is tantamount to people trafficking.

Add in the murky agents desperate for their client to move so they make a huge wedge, and have no interest in what's best for the young person and it's extremely grim.

I've said it before, but agents will encourage their barely adult clients to move to places like Chelsea knowing full well it's terrible for their client, and extremely beneficial for the agent as that player will move again in a year or two, meaning the agent makes bank twice off the move.

It's crazy this is where football's gone, but unfortunately I don't see any resolution to it.
