    So it’s going from a 1.6 ratio to a 1.8… I’m bad at maths but how would it have impacted the prize money difference last season?

    People need to realise what a large factor behind our collapse was.

    We did well, and we wanted to continue to do well and even improve, so we spent more money and paid higher wages, we continued to do well so spent more money and paid higher wages, the amount we was spending fell within FFP but only if we qualified for Europe.

    Then we didn’t qualify for Europe and all of a sudden FFP was after us because our spending was too high, FFP is there to kill you the ONE season where you don’t perform so well, forcing you to sell key players or shrink your squad, which in effect played a large role in killing us

      u/TheTelegraph is an account who’s only role is to post Telegraph articles on subs like r/soccer and here. I don’t understand why this doesn’t break rules around self promo because its clearly a corporate account and doesn’t contribute to the site in any typical way that is usually required i.e. comments and conversations with other users

      Edit - to add, so whilst other users who genuinely want to contribute to the sub might see an interesting article and post it for discussion, the Telegraph account simply posts every article without further thought or analysis. The former is people who understand the interests of the sub and exercising their judgment to share things that would be of interest, the latter is just spam posting

    This just means that more teams will inevitably end up in Evertons situation unable to compete. This is bad news for all but top 6. Rigged

      Everton situation was not caused by the lack of money but the extremely wasteful use of money on poor transfers.

        Whilst I don’t disagree with your point that there was a string of poor decision making regarding transfers, that’s not the reason we’re in this mess. We’re building a new stadium and one of the main investors had to be ousted (Russia/Ukraine war, you can suss it out). This, on top of an already poor financial situation, thanks to our wonderful owner Fahrad Moshiri, are what led to the current situation.

          Stadium work doesn’t really count towards FFP and Usmanov was funneling money through the stadium, like that bogus fee given to have first rejection on naming rights.

            You are half right (and also half wrong 😬) about the stadium work. The PL changed the rules halfway through the period Everton were assessed for. One year they were allowed to set aside the interest payments on loans for the new stadium but the next year they weren’t allowed to set these aside. The PL could at least try to keep their rules consistent.

        You’re missing the point. The PL sustainable rules are based on a threshold for losses allowed. Losses are a function of revenue. If the bigger clubs will get a higher share of that revenue, that just gives them an even greater advantage over the smaller clubs.

        The most realistic way for smaller clubs to compete would be to spend more in the short term so they can buy better players. That way they can get a share of more TV money and European Football.

        But, if by doing that they break the rules, then they don’t have the ability to do so and the status quo remains with the exception of the occcasional Leicester City like fluke season.

    The Premier League was founded on the greed of the top clubs so it’s not surprising they continue to rig the system.

    This sounds very La Liga and a wonderful way to kill off what’s left of the competitiveness of the league.

      It’s not right. Talk about killing off your product. The greatest thing about the premier league is the unpredictability due to good competition.

    Great to see we’re following the La liga model and ditching everything that made this the best league in the world
