Premier League clubs NEED to help out lower-league teams

[@Sillygoooose624]

Listen to Darragh MacAthony’s podcast, over the years he’s always advocated for a transfer levy placed on foreign transfers that’s cycled back to the 72 to encourage money spent down into the EPL. He always cited a perfect example of PL clubs snubbing Ivan Toney in L1, but happy gambling £20M f/example on someone from European leagues like West Ham did for years and years The transfer revenue that leaves the English game like this on utter average dross spent by the PL would be biggest help to the EPL rather than the odd FA cup replay. Majority of replays are between EPL clubs.

Yeah love this idea and would really help lower league clubs who rely on selling young talent on to bigger clubs

[@Sillygoooose624]

@ Well it’s a trickle down effect. EPL clubs spend amongst themselves through transfers, and sell on clauses - even into the National League. Carrying on Peterborough case study, Southampton brought Ronnie Edwards who was sold from Barnet for free but on a 50% sell on. Barnet now reaping reward on that transfer from a L1 club. Point being through Ronnie Edwards had been England U20s and best young CB outside Prem for 18months - but Fulham will give Ajax 22M for Bassey who didn’t lite up the SPL or Chelsea spending 200M on CBs like Fofana, Dissasi, Badiashill He’s always said that money should be set aside for infrastructure in stadiums, training grounds, pitches rather than the money leaving through salaries and agents.

Isolationism and trade tariffs you mean?

@ Yeah, now your getting it 👍🏻Make the Football League Great Again

Find the financial aspect of fa cup replays. Requires 3 low probability events to happen in going deep enough, getting a big club and drawing the game. How many teams achieve this per season at each level? And how does this help all the teams without this lottery win.

[@harrychester8570]

I understand the argument with replays in terms of a lower league club getting a potential replay at a big prem club, but if Portsmouth drew with Bristol Rovers in the 3rd round, I very much doubt that any of those teams would want a replay with them already playing 46 games. Its just the slim possibility they get a replay away at Anfield why they’re annoyed.

Why is a spending cap never in the conversation? The NFL and NBA in the US have a salary cap and it's worked really well for league sustainability, so why not implement a spending cap?

[@adamberkeley2127]

Because you need revenue sharing, luxury taxes, anti competitive and pro cartel policies from government and no relegation to make it viable

[@JuanPatricioIzquierdo]

@ how so? If you’re telling clubs they can only spend a percentage of their revenue already why can’t you just put a flat number on it? It would also save relegated clubs from ruin if you curb their spending, and it would help promoted clubs to compete.

[@jrton1366]

I love when citizens of the world have to contort themselves to justify isolationism and traditionalism when talking about the thing that they care about, in this case football.

[@jrton1366]

34:00 Luke - your entire world view is based around tradition being meaningless. Why would you expect people with no personal link to that tradition to protect it?

[@safeasmilk1]

might want to rewatch your own timestamp

[@jrton1366]

@ Luke’s view is that those with no attachment to local tradition have no interest in preserving it. Do you think he holds this view consistently across the political views he commonly gives on the pod?

Well in Wycombe! I bet Luke 'Loudmouth' Moore isn't quite so bombastic this morning. Inflated little man.
