6 + 2 Point Deductions

That's true and if (always a big IF) they are consistent and stick to the formula they used on double jeopardy then clubs getting their first punishment will get done for more points for a three year breach than us for an additional one year.

It's pretty ridiculous how commonplace this could become over the next couple of seasons though.

There's still a worry that once we get to a third or fourth breach, this'll change to "repeat offender, worse punishment" territory...

And, if we're already at 90+% on wages alone, how are we expecting to be able to sign anyone, ever?

If I'm not mistaken, we were lower than that until the USM sponsorship came to a grinding halt. You'd hope that when we *finally* get new owners they'll bring with them some sponsorship streams which will bump up our revenue and therefore bring down the wage %age.

By the time this new system comes in the stadium will be open and the increase in revenue will kick in and boost our ratio. Bearing in mind a move away from anything P&L based takes stuff like interest repayments out of the equation. If we can get through the next two seasons intact the change in system definitely benefits us.

True but in the short term, how do we even put out a squad that's remotely competitive next season? It'll need some miracles to be worked by whoever is manager for sure

Until we start giving Michael Keane a new contract at 200K a week.

You'd hope that this should lower what players earn, no more bang average players pocketing 100k a week. This is a better way of doing things it's easier for clubs to self regulate. It still benefits the rich clubs but any financial rules will short of a hard cap on spending. There should be allowance for a new owner to come in and spend his own money for a few years in an attempt to make their club successful.
 

It’s tedious. Which of these systems that favours the sky six and shafts everyone else would you rather have? By the way here’s some more points deductions and there’s zero way out for you ever unless you sell all your players or sell your new stadium.

I don’t understand why the majority of clubs would go near this. Am I missing something? There are teams with tiny tiny stadiums who won’t sell a single kit or merch outside of a 5 miles radius of their ground in the PL. Doesn’t just tell them they can’t possibly ever ever win the league (which should be open to all via perfect recruitment and excellent management), it surely almost definitely condemns them to be at the very best a yo yo club, unless their recruitment is 100% perfect every time, and their highest paid players never ever do an ACL.

If everything aligns perfectly they might get about 16th. And if they do unearth an amazing prospect, he will be out the door immediately to earn 10x the salary and maybe make the bench for Carabao Cup games for one of the handful of teams that have zero downward pressure on wages, free to stockpile anyone with talent that isn’t bothered about playing more than 10 games their whole career, such will be the gap between the wages on offer.

For the “smaller” or less globally commercialised clubs, the TV money is a massive part of their revenue. Any significant lowering of TV income (which is completely outside their control - and is totally determined by Sky and the PL picking which games to televise!!!) could send clubs into certain breach due to player contracts they can’t get out of.
So they have to shed players ASAP at rock bottom prices, ensuring their compliance but jeopardising their financial existence.

Could not be any further from a competitive sport if it tried
