Hopefully Saka is back on Sat vs Brighton but we've shown we can manage without him (against City earlier this season funnily enough).
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
As the 20 PL clubs are effectively the shareholders of the league then it won't take much for them to vote such changes through - Initially it looks like a case of Vivian Nicholson's famous phrase 'spend spend spend' will be good for many - But were will it end
Should ensure that the biggest richest get bigger and richer and that the game gets ever less interesting if your team is outside that elite.
Kind of like the European Super League, but without those foreign clubs messing the place up.
Just for clarity, that ^^ was sarcasm.
There should be an interesting split in the voting between those who want to be able to use their backing to buy their way out of trouble, against those who don't have that same level of funding.
Plus fear of a points deduction has effectively created a 'no buy' policy on the last transfer window - You can't sell to reduce your losses, as no one has any money left, within existing 'barriers' to buy - If they buy they exceed their own PSR, so a kind of stalemate
The way I read it is that if Man City pick up a luxury tax bill, some of that tax will go to say Brighton for being 'good guys'
Applying retrospectively would open the can of worms; how far back to you apply it; do clubs who have stayed within the rules object because they have effectively lost out by staying within the rules; etc?
And if the PL change their approach, does the EFL have to do likewise, or do you have two different rule books? And happens (Leicester) when a club breaks the rules in one competition but gets promoted/relegated and has to have penalties applied in the other competition?
Fustercluck.
With their sales in recent seasons, Brighton have enabled some (well, Chelsea mainly!) to break the rules ...
Great game between Chelsea - Utd though!
Without looking, I assume sovereign wealth is not applicable in say the NFL, other USA leagues and/or IPL - I don't think it is allowed in the German league either - Think they have a 50% limit on any 'sugar daddy' ownership - Not sure about the Spanish league - Italian teams are generally owned by the Italian's, USA or the odd Chineses team
Can see some maturity and learnt lessons from last season, calmer and collected as it was this time last year we started to demise. Keeping Saliba fit is key though, as his injury last season cost us with no replacement.
But yeah its great some key players are now back from injuries so we can rotate better, think the only player to still come back is Timber.
We've got 6 points on 7th place and 5 games to play (although Coventry in 7th have 6 games remaining...). Hmmm
