Birmingham fan here but Villa are absolutely right to challenge this. Being forced to sell £150m worth of players to tick some fabricated arbitrary P&S box when they have just got into the Champions League is ridiculous and weakens their playing strength just as they should be improving it further. Good to see clubs finally wake up to the dangers of this authoritarian, self-sabotaging and uncompetitive nonsense and take legal action to address it. This is a rare occasion that I hope Villa actually win, assuming they do challenge it.

The top 6 mafia don't want another City. It's why Newcastle are being held back. It's why Aston Villa will be held back instead of allowing to buy top players. We've got to sell 1st.

I don't think it was designed to do that, it's just been an unintended consequence of the rules.

[@outofthetrash5925]

@@tomd2103 EUFA did it 1st. Their intrest was definitely protectionism. The consequences were intended. They were scared legacy clubs like Utd, Real, Barcelona etc would worry about more Citys and Chelseas coming along and run off and set up a super league. Something they then tried to do anyway. UEFA had no other need to make such rules since all the leagues run themselves anyway. Most teams in Europe do not play in EUFA competitions. We can't pretend (and neither can they) that EUFA care if a Luton or a Sheffield Utd go out of business. What's more, were the rules genuinely designed to safeguard clubs from dilution there are much simpler rules that could be made. EUFA have a 75% of revenue cap on transfers and wages. La liga subsequently went further and made their cap 70%. Who put forward the proposal and encouraged its acceptance? Oh yes supposed rivals Real and Barca. They were scared of what happened in the PL happening in their league, knocking them out of dominance. If you want to see what these rules can do to a whole league not just a club look at Barca. Their own silly rules came back to bite them. They - hypocritically - were already running over 70% for wages before they even got the rules in. Once Messis contract had finished he counted as a new signing if re-signed so they couldn't register him. He had to leave on a free. What does losing a player like that do to not just the club but the while league? Especially if that league wasn't a duopoly like La liga and One that shares TV revenues. You've seen what happened to Barca since. They've sold rights to revenues that will be made for decades to come. The only unintentional consequences are any that drag down the clubs that wanted to keep everyone else below them.

[@leighhudson9279]

A point to challenge popular ignorance: people talk about PSR as being a protection for the top 6. City are and always have been against these rules and fighting to remove them in the interests of fairness to the rest of the league.

@@esiriokoro7976 it’s not about legitimacy. City managed to do their heaviest investment just before FFP started to take the step in to the top 4. FFP was then hurriedly brought in to stop us in our tracks but failed. Now, if you are Newcastle, villa or anyone else and you want to make that same journey, the odds are massively stacked against you from the get go because as soon as you make progress, you are forced to sell your key players. City pushed back on FFP at the time of introduction for that reason but people were just more happy to point the finger at city rather than understand that one day, it might be their team in that position.

Once pep goes city won’t be as dominant as they have been. He really is a genius. It’s united, Arsenal and Liverpool who are pushing this as they don’t want the competition, they don’t want to pump money into infrastructure and training grounds. They want to buy players, win and sell shirts and reel rewards from advertising. Just lazy owners who know nothing about the game. At least the city owners dived into the the history of city and wanted to build a sustainable model for the future. Nobody cared when they bought Robinho because it was funny. Look at them splashing money. Once people realised what they were doing off the pitch, stadium, training ground. Just in the past month helped build the biggest arena in Europe. Right next door to the stadium. The work is already in progress to extend the stadium with a 5 star hote built in which will be for the arena events as well. These people are really smart people.

VILLA, similarly to Newcastle last season have done brilliantly to challenge the cartel but now have to sell players to stay anywhere near. The rules are biased towards the TOP Teams who already have a plethora of top talent and fantastic players. They all have vast squad depth and then tend to buy and sell on the odd occasion. How on earth are other teams meant to compete if they constantly have to sell their best players to sustain a decent challenge. The rules are flawed and rigged in favour of the top teams in Europe with the best revenue streams

[@arkanmohamed8826]

[@nigelduckworth4419]

Why does the PL not simply require a substantial bond from owners of football clubs to be held in trust so as to ensure that if the owners walk away, the PL will have a fund in place to keep them going until a new owner comes along? That would at least address the so-called underpinnings of FFP/PSR which are supposed to be primarily to prevent clubs failing. The question of how much clubs are allowed to spend can then be addressed as a separate matter in relation to the cartel at the top of the pyramid evidently wishing to exclude other upstarts from joining them -as Chelsea and City have done.

[@y2k42y2k42]

That is a good idea,but the problem is the American owners of Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal along with Levy don't want to be putting their own money in their clubs to do that.

[@lilbaz8073]

Ok every team owner puts in a bond. Say £300m. Transfer fees rise, wages rise. Nothing rewally changes. Then the bonds run out. Then you have many more teams that can't afford the transfer fees and wages and face possible administration like everton.

The notion that Man City, Newcastle and now Villa,it seems ,are experiencing anti-competitive restrictions is not false. They are experiencing restrictions on their competitivity as businesses. They should be allowed to invest as much money as they want in their clubs. But that is business competitively. I would like to think that what football fans want for a football league , or a football cup competition is an equal starting point for the football. If one club can spend 1 billion on players and coaching staff and another team can only spend 1 million, that is like starting a 100 metres race, with one athlete already at the 90 metres point. A cap on the amount a club can spend on players wages, transfer fees, coaching staff wages, and agents fees, should be brought in, not just for the Premier League, but for all elite FOOTBALL competitions across Europe (and now Asia)

[@paulbrickland9625]

The trouble with that is the American owners want to control the pl the want the esl and to con sign thee pl to the bin but the problem is they need a top team to make that jump without seeming to encourage it if man city jump first it's job done they get what they want and city get the blame

Your wage bill has gone from £120m and will be over £200million when the account for 2024 is published. Tottenham’s and Arsenal’s wage bill is £235m and £255m so you’re being allowed to rise it to Big 6 levels, making it a Big 7. Your revenue has gone from £140m to a likely over £300million when the account for 2024 are published. And it will be massively because of inflated Saudi sponsorships like Saudia, Sela and Noon. Even your Adidas sponsorship amount is very big for a club that’s not historically a big club. You are being allowed to rise everything to become a Big 7 club though.

Why didn't Newcastle back Villa who were trying to get the the limit from £105 million up to £135 million. Maybe there owners not wanting to spend money. Their supporters deserve better..

It's fine if they don't. Their fans aren't entitled to the owners cash. They are though entitled to the truth, rather than being hyped up on lies.

[@thumpertoon76]

I would say behind the scenes Newcastle will be looking at this legally and more than likely talking to the likes of Villa and even City with what's happening with being held back, Newcastle want to spend and spend big, remember this was brought in because of Newcastle owners wealth when the take over happened

[@Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzziiz]

The Saudi owners have spent £443million since the takeover and have turned the squad from having 1 £30m signing to having 9 £30million-£63million signings. It’s the biggest myth in football that they haven’t been allowed to spend and rise. It’s a spending rise of a club story not a haven’t spent coaching magic wand rise. Do people really think Saudi Newcastle are a haven’t spent coaching magic wand rise story. It’s Villa under Emery who have risen because of a coaching magic wand. Emery’s net spend is only £70m compared to Saudi Howe’s £408million. Totally different stories.

[@thumpertoon76]

@Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzziiz And your point being ? If they have cash to spend and it doesn't put the club in a financial dissolvent situation by spending more than it's owners are worth, then why strangle them from doing so ? That in theory is creating a monopolies for the elites which isn't allowed in UK business, and comparing Newcastles little outlay over 3 seasons to the elites spending since Roman tool over Chelsea is nothing

Whatever is going on is Madness. Villa have to sell one of their best players before the end of June to avoid a points deduction next season. Doing this they then are allowed spend big from July 1 because the ‘rules reset’. Just makes no sense. How can any team build or compete with the ‘crooks’ at the top - they get away with it, the rest are penalised. Luiz was critical to Villa’s chances of competing next year. Mad. UTV.

[@lilbaz8073]

Uefa also has rules. Villa could break those also.

[@danielberry4765]

I think there does have to be some sustainability rules. I think some block needs to exist against owners like City. The problem is Villa needing to sell after getting CL. Those rules are anticompetitive. What I would like to see is owners like Villa be able to put their money in and invest but ONLY equal to the club at the highest income level in the league. That flattens the playing field for ambitious clubs.

Ffp don't work , simple as that is there for cartle and so others carnt join. Throughout football there been teams that had decent few years and even almost teams dominate a decade. There easy few rules too help. 1 no club in debt can do transfers. 2 owners can use own funds put must pay FA or a body as middle man before handing it other owner. So funds protected. 3 any player that Brought must have salary that complies with any generated income by club of up to 70/80. So if generated income is 100million maximum squad wage and staff budget is 70/80million 4 have all clubs pay a years wage/staff into a trust fund in case of emergency. Villa Chinese owner couldn't get money out so needed too sell. Chelsea owner having too sell cuz war etc. 5 clubs can use like now there own fund for transfers put must paid in full. 6 selling youth set players will act like normal on balance sheet so clubs dnt need too sell there youth players for FFp
