    Yeah, especially as he seems to be all about sustainable, prudent growth and all that. Wonder if we'll get an explanation...

    Why is anyone surprised the 3 richest clubs/owners in the league voted against it?

    Early days but I think it will be detrimental to the better sides, time will tell.

    That's probably why we voted against it...

    Sounds like a good set of rules.

    Depends when the voting took place I suppose. The only reason to vote against it surely is because we are about to get a large injection of money. Or is that wishful thinking. Cortese is not irresponsible so perhaps he just doesn't want our flexibility curtailed or the devil is in the detail.

    Sounds good set of rules to me! Not keen on teams spending above their means and creating boring soulless leages **Cough** PremierLeague **Cough**

    The rules sound good but what worries me is that without the Premier League imposing the same rules it is just going to widen the gap between the Championship and Premiership.

    And teams that are relegated from the premiership won't have to abide by the rule until their second season means a greater increase in teams going straight back up.

    Just my opinion, no-one can know how it will all pan out in the end.

    Don't get me started on players' wages<grr> This is my pet hate (along with a few other things!) that will definitely be the subject of a close-season thread from me
