It's objectively terrible for competition

Yes it is, just like 6 or 7 clubs being able to spend incredible sums of money. While the other 13/ 14 clubs look on in awe and then sell their better players to them to stem and that's all they are doing, the wrath of profit and sustainability set up by the top 6, err I mean Premier league. Two leagues in one and only one matters.

I have voted no simply because it isn't, then neither are a whole host of things with football in general today.

By no means do I agree with the punishment but imagine where we would be now if the profit and sustainability rules didn't exist and we hadn't been put on a plan by the PL. We are already on the verge of administration after ridiculous cost cutting thanks to those rules. The league needs a rule in place to stop losses or we would've gone bust, not saying the current rules are fair or just in its current form but they have saved us.

In principle, it's not great. Yet, when you flip the coin, it will benefit us in the long run. After all, 777 are involved with Genoa, Standard Liege, Hertha Berlin, Sevilla, Red Star FC, Melbourne Victory & Vasco de Gama.

The profit is for the top 6 the sustainability is for the rest, that's their plan.
 
The BIG 6/7 clubs who voted against to protect the SCAB 6 are apparently....Newcastle, Sheff Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Everton, Wolves, Forest.

The outrage seems to be based on some pretty lazy internet transfer gossip involving a fictional scenario where a player such as Neves *could* go to Newcastle on a seemingly free loan - although the fact that neither player nor club has indicated any interest in making such a move happen doesn't seem to come into it.

The more accurate take seems to be that this ban, as presented by the PL in the vote, would ban loans IN FROM affiliated clubs but would still allow clubs to loan players OUT TO those same clubs. If this rule is designed to clear away suspicions of dodgy deals then surely ALL loans between affiliated clubs should be treated the same irrespective of direction?

Sometimes a vote can be over a concern around technicalities rather than some arching Machiavellian plot to compound power into the hands of the few.
 

I think its probably not good for overall competition. But I think if you are a premier league club, it would be better to loan your u21 players to professional clubs around the world than have them play for the u21 teams against other u21 players. If the takeover goes through with 777 and we loan out 5 or 6 u21 players to; Genoa, Hertha Berlin and Standard Liege. That will help with their development. If they do well their value will increase, even if they never make it at Everton, they will still be viewed at a higher value than players who have just played in u21's.
