So In come is strangled, no threat there to the cartel. An owner now can no longer have an open chequebook. Sponsorship, but it must relate to a club's status so, for example Everton couldn’t be sponsored by Elon Musk to the tune of £500 million a year as we are not considered to have a status befitting this amount. At this point, I could really use the expertise of Paul the Esk so, if I am not 100% accurate, please cut me some slack.Ĭlubs can (I believe) have losses of £105 million over 3 years (under the Profitability and Sustainability rules) however, an owner cannot write a cheque to cover the deficit. If anyone can explain how the Sky 6 can be toppled without a serious amount of money, please inform me. I can’t realistically see a path for clubs outside the current cartel of the Sky 6 seriously competing given the Profit and Sustainability regulations. How can this be a healthy league in the sporting sense and how is it good for football? Worryingly, I feel these teams look like they will now stay cemented on this hallowed ground, making even more money, competing in Europe (in the European Competitions where the serious money is) and hoovering up the best talent.Ĭlubs like ourselves will probably fall even further behind. No chance of them repeating this feat.Īt the beginning of the current season, we could confidently predict the Top 6 teams, as has been pretty much the case now for a good number of years. We have over the years succeeded in creating an imitation Scottish League where we have 4 to 6 Clubs that have a chance of winning the Premier League to their two (Rangers and Celtic) - and I am aware Leicester City did win recently but their squad was pillaged over the next couple of seasons. Does this totally apply in the Premier League? Well, given the Profit and Sustainability rules that were brought in (in 2012-13, I believe), this is debatable. I believe that a football match should be won on the field of play.
