    It would appear the Americans are somewhat vexed

    Almost as entertaining as seeing Arab States somewhat vexed over English Football

    I was thinking it will be better to win something while not breaching PSR in the barbers today.... then I return home to establish that could happen.

    Strange how it is only a certain few clubs do not get caught out by these rules

    PSR is going to be on its way out soon.
    Enough of the clubs will take legal action on the premier league to prevent it from being around much longer.
    It is highly restrictive. You cannot tell a company owner they are not allowed to invest money into their business. Almost wholly illegal by any laws standards.
    If there was an alternative to the PL, then maybe but under laws on monopoly (not the board game), its pretty much one of the biggest corporate no-nos.
    Also the rules are MORE likely to see clubs go into administration than it is to prevent......"They spent too much? They run out of money? Fine them!" Good solution.
    "They struggling in the PL?" "lets deduct points off them so they get relegated and their income is slashed by 80%"....absolute joke

    They are going to bring in a new monster called squad cost ratio. It's the same type of ****housey, but redressed and is being sold in a positive light.

    Just change the rules to make it a level playing field ...

    All PL clubs limited to a £100 million transfer cap per season with owners to put up a (guarantee) bond for 75% of whatever they spend within that ...

    Be refreshing to finally see a proper dent in the buying of success that has historically infected our game and has restricted real competition beyond the big spenders ...

    Can only be good for the game <ok>

    It's almost like words like "fair" are subjective terms which people try and use as objective fact to strengthen their narrative.

    Buying success was allowed not very long ago, now the very same teams who benefitted and their fans who cheered it talk about it as if it makes a club morally bankrupt. Rather convenient.
