This needs to be UEFA wide. As for now, its like Boxing without weight classes.

lets all be honest here, they wont hold pep and man city accountable for this spending cap. they will find a way to go above and the league wont uphold it against them

let's introduce better referees

There shouldn't be a UEFA-wide spending cap. At least not among all the top five leagues. PL made this whole financial overspending an issue themseleves, they should now also deal with it on their own. Anyything else would be unfair. EPL clubs are the ones who don't respect FFP.

Thanks for this

Not happening. Money still rules the world

No. Also, we fully expect City to not be punished for their 115 charges so who cares about these rules. Will only apply to certain clubs

How will this work??? Someone explain 😅

Sorry it’s cost control for most clubs… let’s not give a pass that “anchoring” is for pure competitive reasons. When Chelsea spends crazy on transfer fees and wages, that’s affecting clubs like Bournemouth and Crystal Palace when they’re trying to make deals

This isn't the solution that fans think it is. It just means that the financial restriction will, on occasion, push an elite talent from the English domestic sphere. If you are the type of fan that only cares about your side, that doesn't want your hated rival to potentially pull in a galactico-type of talent, you may think this is a step forward. But if you want to be entertained by the best the planet has to offer, this is nothing more than just a way for club ownership to keep costs in line. As such, this kind of restriction potentially pushes a big name with big tricks n' flicks to the other domestic leagues. On top of that, if you're a Utd supporter, you should ask Toronto Maple Leaf fans or New York Yankee fans if they like their historic sides not being able to spend bank, money spent to capitalize on their heritage in the sport, to attract the best. Long stretches between championships is the reality for those colossal sporting brands. Now, shareholders, stakeholders and the Richie Riches that sit on club boxes love salary caps, even when it can lead to their colours being uncompetitive at times, unable to cover themselves in the glory to the same degree that their supporter bases became accustom to. Those rich biatches just get richer without the freedom allowed, encouraged, in many cases demanded by the match-going public, to spend mad money on the latest transfer period darling or generational talent. Look, I get it. If you hate Manchester City and their new place in the Prem and Europe, you're probably grasping at straws, desperate for anything to stem the tide of silverware and kit top badges that celebrates their success, putting you and your rooting interests in the mud. But for as much as a salary cap will prevent City from signing another talent for Pep to mesh into his team, whether that player is of starting eleven rating or just squad depth to help him manage the vagaries of many competitions and injury/form probability, a salary cap will inhibit your chosen side from also fielding a team with championship aspirations. But at least City won't win, right? But if you put your jealously to the side for a moment, if you take the 30,000 foot planview that takes the heat out of rivalries and the malice out of a supporter bases' list-of-grievances, this kind of labour cost tactic won't do you and your treasured badge any favours either. Basically, the rich who own football teams and sit on boards and don't sing on the terraces just got richer, because now they don't have to compete financially, to invest the money they fleace out of you with ever higher ticket and concession prices, with ever more pricey kits and travel schedules that pushes your side beyond the measure of the typical football fan. This is hardly a win for fans or supporters of the various clubs of England. A salary cap is singularly about the lining of pockets for those who use football as an economic status symbol. Real Madrid and Barcelona are laughing at you, England. And the owners and boards of the Engish Premier League are laughing as well. All the way to the bleedin' bank.

A salary cap can also generate more profits for stakeholders. A byproduct is then it could make the EPL more competitive. So it could be a win-win for fans and owners...but not for the players lol

MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL all have salary caps. MLB & NBA teams pay a luxury tax if over limit. However, Man City and its issues are the elephant in the room. This will be interesting.

Cap would be stupid, then it's just another NFL, NBA style league, and the Bayerns, Madrids, PSGs etc. will outspend them and snap up all the best players and leave the PL in the dust.

Apple just put 1b into MLS... why isn't that going to players more? Where we need to hold some of these major LAKES OF MONEY like Apple, and companies like that accountable.

Sports are an easy way for the billionaire class to make everyone under the billionaire class feel undeserving. But when you actually mingle with these people it's like we're all 2nd class citizens compared to them. And that NEEDS TO CHANGE.

They’ll probably have a soft cap like the NBA. You can go past it but have to pay a luxury tax. $4 tax for every dollar spent over the cap.

And this is a never ending debate. And let's go back to where this all started... Willie Mays. Where Mays was a star player before anyone got paid AT ALL! And Mays used to literally just ask the owner for money and the owner would give it to him, to the point that it turned into the business that sport's are today. BUT LETS EXAMINE WHERE WE CAME FROM...

When ManU was winning all these titles again and again and again. There was no greed or sjngle horse or boring or FFP notions flying around? 🤣🤣🤣

This better not dissolve the 115!

Settle down......... Bundesliga has a 51/50 law unlike the other leagues....... Bayern München has a great winning culture especially in the past few decades ..... Other teams opt to sell their players off and treat profits over winning which affects the balance of the tables...... Good to see propositions of meritocracy over he who has the most coins wins....... One x

I’ve been talking abt this for the longest time

Premier league have been following the american system for a long time now. Particularly the nba model.

Win???

While this is an interesting topic, why did it have to get so combative between the two?

And Seb's laughing but he's not... bc what is Herc's salary? 250k/year? Stevie and Craig pry deserve 300k. And then Skip and Stephan A think that they deserve 3m/year. So it's getting clown man.

If TSLA stock doubles every year then they do have infinity money. SO... let's examine the CORE ISSUES.

Relegation makes this difficult though and I LIKE RELEGATION.

What about the teams that don't spend just pocket the money? They're ok with putting mediocre teams out there and don't care about results or fans.

If prem has a spending cap wouldn't it make them less competitive in european competitions against clubs without spending caps?? They wouldnt be able to attract as many talents

Don't take away the only thing Chelsea fans celebrate.

I don't know if a salary cap is the answer. I think the answer is to PRESSURE THE STAR PLAYERS to share their incomes. Until the rest of the locker room presses Harry Kane for his 200m dollar contract, we won't see change. And that requires DISSENT. And that's half of the issue. Everyone is curbing dissent lately and we need dissent. Especially with the owners.

Punish the high earning clubs. The high earning clubs get a lot of revenue from foreign fans. No one is mentioning how the other clubs benefit from foreign viewership that the top clubs attract. Yet they want to punish the clubs that put in work to increase their foreign fan base.

if this rule comes. say bye bye to elite players and european success to any PL club. It means league will lose fans cz stars would be playing for spanish teams, French and german teams and PL would be like a championship level team against european giants in UCL, UEL etc

Man City will still find a way to spend more money

So when Luton makes the 1st division the cap goes down? Eh.

But 10 comments later should the EPL have a salary cap? I don't think so. I think we need owners who aren't snobby NEPO's. Personally. Where if people weren't such d'heads about money, we wouldn't need to be having these debates.

And Nedum's making 200k/year and he isn't s*** in my gym.

The issue is really difficult because a lotta keyboard warriors hide behind money... and finances. Where if we all saw Muller being a d'head it would help fix this issue.

epl teams wont go past qf in the ucl then

And every time that Gates is mad... he acts like we all need to live in Mumbai.

Don't do this , you cannot compete with clubs who has unlimited funds in other leagues, ex- psg

are they copying the nba system?

And lets shift from sports... should Google employee's be able to leave Google and compete? Where in that instance I SAY NO.

terrible idea

This will be the end of the Premier League. David vs. Goliath is the appeal. Leicester City winning the premier league, Arsenal currently pushing for the top, Leverkusen undefeated at the top of the Bundesliga is the appeal. Chelsea spent more than any EPL team and they are below teams with a fraction of their resources. Everton spent a lot of money a couple of years ago, and it did nothing. If they think people will want to tune in to Nottingham Forest in first place because the teams that make the most money cant spend it, they have a surprise coming to them. Nobody cares about the NBA anymore because nobody cares about Denver Nuggets or any other small market team that has been winning the past few years.

Ooof if this goes through, prem teams might struggle in the champions league.

They will turn it down

Amazing the impact of the US. We have had salary caps forever, and now Europe is adopting it. Holds leadership accountable to making good moves and not just throw money at a bunch of players and let things sort themselves out.

Looks like big-time leagues are now taking notes from the MLS. Spending Cap will make the league so much better. Generally, with euro leagues, you always know between 2 or 3 teams who will win the league before 1 match is played. Rich teams will always end up on top. That's not entertaining to me. In the MLS a bottom team can win the league in the following year because of spending cap. It creates balance from top to bottom. Which creates better competition.

YES this is good

I like the Qatari's having infinity dollars and wanting to put a good team on the field. As a PSG fan, I wouldn't want that to change.

And 2 days later... Haaland will leave for PSG. So this is obviously a sticky issue.

Sucks for man city

That's pretty stupid. All it takes to sabotage everyone is for the bottom club to lose money. 5 times zero equals 5 zeros

Never gonna happen

How American of mls, being the ambassador of soccer communism lol

“State owned” and “oil money.” You guys don’t even try to be professional. Just a glorified fan channel.

well..Bundesliga will dominate then

Why are American accents so annoying on this app ?

About time to every club should have a spending cap .

WHATEVER THE F🩵🩵K IT TAKES TO STOP ✋🏿 MAN 👨🏼 CITY 🌃 DESPITE CHELSEA, UTD N LIVERPOOL SPENT MUCH MORE‼️🙄

This is a donkey farmers league. The level is at an all time low. Only city will win the league now. This is now even worse than the bundesliga.

Pretty pathetic that the EPL has to come up with such measures. Farmers league... If they actually go through with this, I don't think me and my friends are going to watch EPL any further. This is some ridiculous stuff. Maybe the big clubs should just stick to the rules and respect FFP, instead of now making it imposibble for lower clubs to catch up. You can't introduce this now after the top EPL clubs been able to invest for many years without any spending cap.

Communism lol

CHELSEA FFP CHEATS IN THE MUD 😂😂😂
