Wow that would be a huge change…

We starting building our squad with big money at the best time.

I'm not sure that is will make much difference as so far I have only seen mention of it regarding wages.

I saw a real World example from the 2021-22 season where Norwich had the lowest income. With the multiplier the wage cap was £402m, during that season Manchester United had the highest wage bill in the league with £384m!

Newcastle voted for, Villa against. Are these two not in similar boats right now r.e. bumping FFP limits and trying to spend with the top of the league?

Do these rules drastically impact either for better or worst?

I can't speak for Newcastle, but I can completely understand why Villa have voted against it.

Teams in European competitions can only spend 70% of their turnover, whilst teams not in Europe can spend 85%

We haven't caught up to other CL/Europa teams in terms of revenue so we'd essentially be penalised for qualifying for Europe because we'd be restricted to spending far less than those clubs. 70% of Sp**s' or Arsenal's or Man City's turnover is a hell of a lot more than 70% of Villa's at the moment

It sounds like yet another way to make it harder for clubs to break the "big 6"

Edit: to give it context, after this season I'd consider Sp**s a direct rival for us, in the short term at least. These rules would allow Sp**s to spend about £400m. it would restrict Villa to spending about £150m

How are those figures worked out? I thought it was a cap of x5 what the lowest earning team for everyone.

I believe it’s alongside. So you could only spend 70% of your revenue as long as it’s below the threshold of x5 the lowest placed team’s TV revenue.

Lowest placed team in the prem gets about £100m in TV revenue. So my understanding is you can spend 70% of your turnover as long as that’s below £500m

But I’m not 100% sure to be honest so I’m happy to be corrected

Ah OK, that makes far more sense to be honest. I couldn't see how allowing say Luton to spend £500m on wages would be good for protecting clubs from overstretching themselves

£500m is roughly 70% of £715m so this isn't really going to effect any of the top clubs as usual.
