We're in good company with the teams that voted against 🤣

Can anyone explain what it means? Why did we vote against it? Will it impact us negatively?

It makes sense.  The 'big 6' have massive revenues, the cap is so high that they hit the European cap first but can still spend £300-400m or so a season. 

The small revenue clubs not in Europe can now massively outspend Villa up to £300-400m per season.

Villa hit the European cap first rather than the PL cap, so we can only spend £150-200m per season. 

Basically it kills Villa and any other non big 6 club that qualifies for Europe.  

 

This is literally the worst option of all spending proposals for Villa.  Almost like it was specifically designed to kill Villa and Newcastle.

This is what I thought....

Massive negative for Villa and Newcastle. 

It doesn't impact the 'big 6' as they have huge revenues so can spend up to the UEFA cap of 75% of income, and still not hit this PL cap. 

Means those smaller clubs not in Europe can spend massively more, up to £400m a season rather than current rules of around £150-200m (dependant on their turnover). 

Villa and Newcastle are screwed - they are still capped by UEFA rules which is based on their smaller turnover, but now smaller clubs can spend double what Villa and Newcastle spend.

No. This cap doesn't replace the proposed new Premier League PSR rules, it's only in addition to them.

Premier League spending cap: Clubs vote in principle for new rules - BBC Sport

the new model will replace the Profit and Sustainability Regulations presently used from the 2025-26 season onwards.

I'm surprised West Ham voted for this seeing that they are a small revenue club who aspire to qualify for Europe.

I guess they never plan to spend anywhere close to any cap so it makes no difference to them lol.

I think that the spending cap will be in conjunction with the PSR rules linked to Spending/Turnover ratios which is rumoured to be 85% in the Premier League. If anything it will mean that the biggest clubs can't go crazy with their spending, other clubs can but they would then fall foul of the spending/turnover ratios. In practice it doesn't change much from what I can see.

Why did Chelsea abstain?  Do they plan on spending another billion if they don't qualify for Europe 🤣

Yes i guess so. It makes sense that they would want to spend more than the current rules allow.

I think this is meant to replace the current Premier League PSR rules.

It's scrapping the PSR rules and replacing with this new cap.

The only good thing is that this is from the 2025/26 season. We have 14 months to basically double our current revenue if we want to compete at the top end of the table.
