Just employ an army of top barristers like the115 have and erode the process/rules to nil

Well, yes, it clearly works.

TBH ultimately, I reckon the whole shebang will go out of the window.

This will work best, in my opinion, if the club pay me vast quantities of money to instruct said army of top barristers.

I think we should pay an army of Villa fans to go on twitter and say how unfair it is, then we could all afford to go corporate and massively boost revenue. Problem solved.

Chelsea to spend another £60m. Taking their total since 2020 to £1.7 billion. But we have to sell players.

£40+ mil on two of our kids who could not be further away from thier first team if they had stayed at the Villa.

I know they have had champs league money coming in for years but there is no way they could of made enough in 5 years to cover that.
This  new wages bullshit we are having to now deal with how are they not failing on it by huge contracts over ridiculous lengths of time?

Because of the ridiculous lengths of time.

I’d have thought that with the amount of time we spend talking about all this, more people would understand it by now.

Chelsea have sold more than they have spent, plus the money from their women’s team sale.

And hotel sales. Plus they also used to do the 6-9 year contracts which meant the expenditure used to be over amortised over that as well. I think that is one loophole that might have been closed though.

From Stefan Borson,

"There is NO realistic chance Villa will fail 24/25 PSR in the post Chelsea world. Either they are not at the £105m limit or they will sell a player today or transfer an asset such as the Women's team. They do not need to let the outside world know today."

No they haven't. They've sold around £700m over the same period. So they've spent £1bn on transfers since 2020.
