I see the new rules have been voted through

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cgkeyj71m36o

I can't really work out if they are good or bad for us, probably still bad as the PL is now adopting an approach similar to UEFA, albeit with a bit more leniency.

Well being as we voted for it, it should be good for us. Whether it will be better for other teams around us is the risk the club is taking.

You can guarantee it will be beneficial to the likes of the scum 6 and will remain restrictive enough to ensure any club with ambition cannot catch them

It's definitely better because it means there's more consistency, following the UEFA rules will now make us automatically be in line with the PL ones, which is much easier to manage.

Think we voted against it though.

Not according to the article. Bournemouth, Brentford, Brighton, Palace, Fulham and Leeds voted against. I agree it should be easier if it's the same set of rules but UEFA's limit is 70% compared to 85% in PL.

The new rules are lot like UEFA’s and we already failed that test. Our wages are close to 90% of revenue, so even the Premier League’s softer 85% cap will be a challenge. 

As such we, as fans, need to make the effort and buy more GA+ tickets. Otherwise, sales at Lamborghini Birmingham and specifically the Lamborghini Urus, will collapse catastrophically.

The other year maybe, not this one.

In other news we can't sell the Warehouse to ourselves if we were planning to. Might also scuttle Blues plans going forward as well.
