The liquidity measures in League 1 and League 2 seem a bit more sensible, where they effectively can only spend a proportion of their turnover on wages.

If it's to maintain the status quo, sure.If it's to enhance competition then a cost cap of some description is much more effective.
FFP as it was is dead after the Man City ruling.If the real aim is to stop clubs over-reaching then they need to replace it which allows owners to fund clubs but requires guarantees for those funds, some sort of escrow system would probably be the simplest way to handle it.

Explain how that would work Then how you could get agreement
I still think the basic idea of FFP is sound, stopping clubs spending money they don't have isn't a bad thing. But what about clubs/owners that do have the money, there has to be a way for them to invest the money. Whether it involves money going into escrow or what i'm not sure but stopping people spending their own money seems as bonkers as letting clubs spend money they didn't have.

I said similar at the beginning of the year, not allowing someone to spend their money on something they own remains a bonkers scenario.
At home though. They're alright at home. Away they're woeful.
