It's nearly always been a rich man's plaything since 1880s when the first player was bought. They may not have been billionaires but they where very rich by the standards of the day

It’s also anti competitive.

 

So many business generate cash and pump money into themselves to compete, stay in business and grow.

If businesses were penalised with the severity a points deduction has on a business for running at a loss, we’d have no Apple, no AirBnB, no Disney, no Starbucks, no Lego, no Marvel,  no Netflix, no Ford, no Converse, no Nintendo. It’s basically a death sentence if we got another this season. Teams like Brentford, Brighton, West Ham are all one bad transfer window away from ending up like we did. 

If they want a more balanced league, they’d be better introducing a draft, wage cap or transfer cap. However everyone would revolt as that’s just not going to work. 

 
 

 

If you're going to allow these billionaires to pump unlimited amounts of money into their clubs the gap at the top will get even bigger. As you appear to say this would need to be coupled with a draft, wage cap or transfer cap etc.

Very true actually. 
 

I still think the horse has bolted.

I like the idea of a wage cap. However it would need to be across UEFA, so it’s doesn’t damage the league. 
 

We saw the impact the wage cap had on English rugby.

Oh for sure as the gap between the top rich and the bottom rich has grown massively. Not helped of course by the media's obsession with those riches clubs allowing them to grow faster than anyone else.

Yes, knowing how it works currently, they’d give the greedy six a higher wage cap!

O f course EUFA haven't helped by kowtowing to those clubs ensuring that they continue to benefit from the riches of the Champions League.

 

The 'Other 14' clubs haven't helped themselves by agreeing to ensure those 6 maintain their advantage in the PL. Why aren't all PL revenues split evenly between all the clubs? They all need each other to be a PL?

I think the broadcast revenues were evenly split before 2018 and then the ‘big six’ made threats - didn’t like the prospect of competition. 
 

#Rotten. Always has been.

So the other 14 must have agreed to that just like they did with the international revenues which LCFC voted for.

Yes, you are correct. Buckled to the pressure - hurting ourselves in the process.

The days of buying the title by a club from outside of a certain small group have gone under the current rules. We'll never see another Blackburn or Man City. Not even the richest club in the world (Newcastle) can win it.

Agreed. Closed shop now.

[Sly]

I’ve no idea why we even bothered spending money to fight the PSR charge, given we’ve done nothing on the pitch since to actually make it worth it. 

[turkish14]

I’m starting to think the PSR topic is an excuse, and actually we don’t have the money.

Funny how each week we can afford a crappy light show and to burn some oil, what a pointless waste ‘foxes never quit’ Pathetic
