There is no status quo in the EFL.
There is no status quo in the EFL. If you're better than the other teams you get promoted out of it. The EFL rules were not designed with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus in mind because they never have to play in it.The thought process behind it is entirely different to the cartel-thinking of UEFA's regulations.

This is interesting even if a year oldhttp://www.financialfairplay.co.uk Can the great and the good make any sense of it?
The big clubs in the EFL don't stay at the top, they get promoted, as a rule. We are the biggest club in the EFL and the rule seems to be handicapping us so your argument doesn't add up.If we were talking about a FFP rule in the Premier League, I'd agree with you. The EFL FFP rule is to stop teams going bust.

The EFL FFP rule is to stop teams going bust. It's not handicapping us. Tone gambled on getting promoted and fucked it up. That's what's now handicapping us Had we followed the rules from the off we'd still be able to spend much more than the rest of the division because our underlying revenue is so much greater. It favours the big clubs in exactly the same way FFP does in the Prem. The only difference is the TV money makes the gap between the haves and have nots so much greater in the Prem so the order is much more established and you're less likely to get shocks.
