Would make for a different winner every season you'd think A lot of the time, also the league winner normally finishes about 5 above 2nd, 10 above 3rd etc. You'd have some seasons where like 6-7 teams could still win on final day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Bit extreme though isn't it! I'd be happy if they booted the European teams out of the league Cup each season so there was a rotation in who gers EL and see how that shakes the league up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Wonder if they’ll make an £80m bid for Caicedo to try and get him ahead of Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 In talks to sign Fernandez for £100m. It’s genuinely wild what they’re doing. They’ve taken spending to a new level. I know they’re giving out long contracts, and that’s fine, but surely this isn’t sustainable within the realms of FFP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are betting that all these signings will come off . And they will be selling Havertz Pulisic etc in the summer for sure . But as we all know the prem is the hardest league in the world to excel in. Everyones numbers drop. And they are using money that was exceptional due to the champs league win 2 years ago.. no chance they are getting champions league this season. A calculated risk but one that could easily go south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A calculated risk but one that could easily go south I’m really hoping it does, but the big teams have too much power now. The Premier League is the super league in reality and I honestly don’t think the top teams really care about FFP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I get they overpay so they can pay all transfer fees over like 10 years of installments and that's how they're getting away with it but they're wage bill must be crazy with just the extra players alone. Also Roman subsidised them a 100 Mill a season which is gone and most likely no champions league next season. Can't see it being sustainable.

MachoFantastico Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Their spending is absolutely insane. They've discovered a loophole basically, I suspect the likes of Newcastle and City are watching to see how it turns out to see if it would work out for them. Definitely risky, it could be an absolute disaster if it doesn't work out or it could be a stroke of genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Long contracts are all well and good to amortise the transfer fee… but they still have to pay these players for a very long time. If they are duds then they’ll have players stinking the place out on massive wages still in 2030. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 They have to put Lukakus wages and fee on their books as well. Thats 150 million . 30 mill a season minus whatever they get for him on loan and a percentage of wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
