The Fun Factory Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Its amazing that according to the figures above Villa were only 5th in terms of revenue in the 2018-2019 season even though we had the highest attendances in the league.

Parachute money? Pretty much the only money there is in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, we were in 3rd year of parachute payments so had much lower amount than those relegated after us who were in their first or second year of parachute payments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever UEFA make a surprise announcement on a rule like this, my instinct is to cynicism. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted March 24, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 24, 2021 Quick get the check book out Wes & Nas! Before UEFA screw it up with some ridiculous new rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow1988 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 UEFA need to keep the big clubs onside to try and prevent a breakaway super league. I imagine that any replacement for FFP will highly benefit them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted March 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 25, 2021 It needs fixing, but it does feel like a 'big club' breakaway by stealth and will widen the gap in football even further - which will lead to that inevitable breakaway super league..

thabucks Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I bet it will allow clubs like Manure & Barca to be hundreds of millions in debt spend with more freedom with a mechanism in place to hinder us... They don’t want the likes of Villa to join the party, they don’t want competition, they want the same big clubs each year due to TV £$€¥ - it’s so corrupt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisvilla4 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 So Barca in huge financial trouble then this is mooted. Coincidence? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or continue the increase in free on pitch penalties they get. I think I heard they would get a free penalty instead of throw ins under the new scheme. They were going to give them one goal head start but thought that was too obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that any replacement for FFP will highly benefit them. It absolutely will. It's been a long time since professional clubs were sports teams with any interest in sporting integrity; they're corporations protecting their brand. I wouldn't be surprised to see spending and debt rules scaling with UEFA coefficient at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those salary caps are based on turnover etc, that a huge leash put on any clubs not already at the top of the pyramid. Football is slowly going to the dogs.

Well I mean if they are to somehow accomodate Barca then they can't make it too restrictive unless they somehow reduce their wage bill before any system is put in place.

Caps are illegal under EU law, I don't see the Premier League doing that anyway they will want to be the undisputed dominant league which we are currently and a cap will make it all equal.
