I thought there was a proposal that clubs would only be allowed to spend a multiple of whatever the club with the lowest earnings was. I'm not sure if that makes things better or worse. Although I think we voted against it.
As it stands a club like ours needs somewhere between 5-10 years of making good management appointments, with no mistakes on major player recruitment, to sell players you'd prefer to keep for profit, to perform above your abilities on the pitch & make massive improvements in all revenue streams. And if we try to improve our chances of competing by selling the women's team, we're considered to be cheats.
Whilst a club like Man Utd, can stink the place out, appoint shit managers, overpay fees & salaries for players who underperform & are then sold at massive losses. All whilst serving massive debts. But they can still spend multiples of what we can & to cap it off, then ask for public funding to build a new stadium.
