It would appear it's not cleared the PL adjudicators yet, 9 months on. Apologies for having to include Jim White

Quite interesting. Not a ‘clash’ as the title suggested though, fookin TalkSport.

[VILLA MOLE]

Yes i listened to this .  I hope Chelsea don’t just get away with this .  Really doesn’t sit right

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Didn't we do the same thing by selling Villa Park to another of Nassef's companies?

It's something I'm still a bit uneasy about; especially should our current owners ever decide to leave - even if that's a long way into the future.

Not necessarily, if we got a valuation that justified the amount paid then all is fine. It probably helped that we went from the EFL to the PL at the same time.
It’s quite obvious that Chelsea did not get a valuation and the sale of the Hotels are not fair market value.
The PL have got themselves into such a mess with this, that they are going to spend a lot of time and money defending law suits or they are going to have to scrap the whole thing.
I am not sure if that would then bring them into conflict with UEFA.

This is one of the best articles re the new proposals I’ve read, but it’s not great reading or villa fans or indeed for those lucky enough to continue their ST journey or the match day experience, with inevitable price rises due based on successs……

They'll undoubtedly have valuations.  Whether they stand up to scrutiny is another matter.  And giving the income back to the club through a management contract also needs to be looked at.

Premier League clubs agree in principle for spending cap known as anchoring to TV earnings of bottom club. Understood Man City, Man Utd, Villa voted against and Chelsea abstained

Martyn Ziegler in The Times.

[olaftab]

They have voted to introduce a spend cap. 5x the TV revenue of lowest earning club. Seems OK to me.

[chrisw1]

I wonder what our thinking was if we voted against?

[Drummond]

I wonder why we voted against. Along with Man C and ManU.

[LeeS]

So does this effectively mean that all those clubs with sugar daddies can now spend exactly the same, irrespective of income?

Bjorn Schuurmans our new club secretary.

[Demitri_C]

Might give a better understanding

Personally im in favor of this

[Goldenballs]

So can we spend more than we could have done under the old rules, or less?

Bjorn Schuurmans our new club secretary.

He's a tax lawyer who's been the head of Nas's family office for the last 8 years.
