As I've said a number of times measures to avoid clubs getting into financial peril and measures to somewhat level the playing field don't belong under the same regulations. I honestly don't know why levelling the playing field somewhat is even desirable when if these issues were separated it would be fairly simple to create a level playing field where established clubs were restricted to equitable funding and newly promoted teams were allowed a bonus on top of this to help them compete. You are advocating some form of regulation. I was arguing with someone who was saying the solution is not to regulate but let club owners do what they want. I'm not against a level playing field but I can see the pitfalls in terms of attracting the top players in the world and outcomes in UEFA competitions. As for either question(financial peril/level playing field) I'm certainly not a free marketeer. In football or commerce in general.

That might well be a viable solution but it isnt thevfree market solution proposed by the previous poster and the only way that will happen is if the new footballing authorities impose it because most club owners won't do that of their own accord. Time for the government to act. Probably not the best time with 3 days of it to go.

All I’ve heard is we are still talking to 2 players, one is a centre forward and the other I’m not sure, might be a midfielder but not 100%… I actually forgot what I was told.. 😆 😆 ( it was last Tuesday)

We need some new thinking like this. Sticky problem though. How do you handle something like Chelsea with their 8 year contracts though? The rich accountants are always gonna be fucking around with the rules. The 8 year contracts have already been dealt with. Contracts are not allowed to be amortised over any longer than 5 years for PSR purposes. Cheers mate good to have someone knowledgeable on this! Is that just transfer fees, or do they somehow count the wages too? The fees seem the biggest deal of course.

Time for the government to act. Actually the current government aren't doing anything other than lose the election. The Tories have kicked this can down the road - it's something for the next government to sort out. To me it’s a non-political issue and every government of all flavours should act.
