All well and good, and you're not wrong, but.... my point is that they'll still have the same problem of drawing lines and judging the split second when the ball was initially played. Or drawing a wonky line to save the blushes of the lino, as they did to Bobby at Villa with the "Armpit goal" a few years back, if you remember that.
They don't need to sell each individual player for a profit, they just need to raise enough funds each summer to cover the deficit, which they'll do easily using this 'cooking the books' method they've clearly employed
in the end the combination of three rules should be slightly closing this net. 70% of revenue on wages and fees maximum losses over 3 years rule 5 year amortisation. (is part of that 70%) these are more like an air brake creating a little drag on these clubs rather than an actual brake slowing them. they are pushing their engines harder to overcome the resistance. faking revenues. until all clubs actively pump the brakes this bubble will go on til we see the whole thing come down an example palace have lost Zaha on a free. now there can be many reason he didn't sign back up of course. however on the other hand they are demanding an absolute fortune for guehi. what do this clubs think is going to start happening in the medium term. players are going to be priced out of the market so they are going to shorten the deals or not sign and go on a free. another example is kane. spurs have consistently priced him out of the market and are running masses of debt to buy players for managers like conte who then simply don't work. he walks on a free and spurs start to look a very very bad prospect they are again spending 100 mil they don't really have this year. either the rules will actually curb this or clubs will start to flounder under a combination of debt repayment or wages they can't pay.
looks like a bit of a smash and grab by England u21s. 1-0 win with 42% possession and a lot less chances than Portugal. semi final is.midweek now.
