Just helps the rich clubs and encourages the rest to gamble more

This is like raising someone’s credit card limit when they constantly exceed the existing one.

That's what i got from it. Keep gambling until you have nothing left other than debt and hope promotion happens so you clear the debt. Bonkers. I read a few articles a couple of seasons back when Villa went up via the play offs. If they hadn't it was quite likely that they wouldn't exist now due to the debt accrued when trying to get out of the championship.

Wasn't it Derby that they beat? Loser was destined to administration because both had gambled so much on promotion.

It won't.

The gulf in financial clout between the PL and C'ship grows wider by the year. With this and the new Sky TV deal, it appears that the EFL are ok with the same thing happening between the C'ship and L1.

Yes mate, 2-1. They beat West brom on penalties to get to Wembley.

and we beat Villa at home last game of the season?

 

[Millwalljohn]

I can actually see more clubs going out of business with this. There should be a 'dividend' clause that PL clubs who 'cherry-pick' the cream of the lower divisions pay a percentage of their cup/league windfall to them.

No. They went up the following season

 

[zak attack]

Not really big news. You can argue that the limit should be lowered but raising it from £39m to £41.5m does little more than account for inflation.

 

[HappyLion]

I makes sense. Whatever the set level some clubs will try to break the limit. Nothing changes.

Why bother setting spending limits at all then?

So that you can pretend you are exercising some control over clubs.
The reality is that some clubs( Man City) have so much money they don’t give a fuck about rules, while others try to compete with them (Forest and Everton) but are not rich enough, so they get points deductions.

Forest didn't give a fuck about rules whilst in the championship which meant we couldn't compete with them. Fuck them.

I’m not saying I have sympathy with any of them.
There must be more creative accounting in Football than any other business.

I know mate

Indeed

 

[cold blow]

No matter how creative the accounting is, a half savvy auditor could find the "creativity" easily, the truth is everyone knows what's going on but does not want to buffer the gravy train.

This. Shows just how important it was for Bomber to keep us up.
