The Premier League 2023/24

No chance of points back. I bloody hope that they really follow through next year though - so many clubs will be right up shit street…

[ozzyten10]

Brentford, palace, Brighton Man City, West Ham, Luton, Tottenham, Arsenal wolves and Sheffield are the only clubs that are not in trouble…

[The reds]

Have a feeling those expecting points back will be disappointed.

Well you have to hope. Of course it’s unlikely but if we do it will be huge.

[The reds]

Give us our 4pts back or we leak the Everton audio showing how abysmal the officials are

Pochettino said VAR has destroyed the image of English football 
Postecoglou has said the games are getting refereed down the road and not in the stadium 

Simon Hooper is probably the best ref in the Prem right now.

Everton takeover on the brink of collapse. Interesting headline considering that they have secured safety this weekend.

Premier League clubs have agreed in principle to a spending cap.

This will anchor spendings to around five times the TV revenue of the bottom club.

Man City, Man Utd and Aston Villa were the only teams who voted against the move. Chelsea abstained.

Change to be ratified this summer.

Does that mean spending is equal across the league???

I think it works alongside the UEFA rules too, means that there is a hard maximum spend. I don't think that necessarily unlocks smaller clubs to spend up to the maximum but it's stops the biggest teams spending anymore than they already do. That said it would've only limited Chelsea last year so not sure how big an impact it'll really have. Also, need to get the PFA on board too.

That said good idea in principle.

Not sure, but that is how I interpret it.

Yes because everybody is working off the same figures.

Eg - TV rev of bottom club was 103m 
The talk is a multiple of 4.5 

So 103m x 4.5 = 463.5m that has to cover wages, amortisation of transfer fee costs and agent fees.

So as an example in last accounts our wage bill was 140m and amortisation is around 50m, agent fees at around 10m

So we are at 200m with a ceiling of £463m

So these rules won’t help the clubs in the Top 4 as their wage bill and amortised transfer fees will be at that sort of level.

What it does is allow the aspirant clubs to inject money into the club.

So Newcastle for expample will be a big beneficiary of this

Still have to follow the cost ratio rules too though so won't be allowed to spend that full 500m (it's multiple of 5 that got voted through).

Not sure that’s true- I think basically it is allowing for aspiration- a point forest argued for and has had some sympathy. It’s not as if we haven’t honoured payments etc…
