Quite why different rules exist for domestic and European competitions seems quite ridiculous.

However I’d suspect the cold dead hand of the “European Football Clubs” has ensured the SCR rules have been bought in in a hurry to stop the insurgent next group of English clubs joining the Greedy 6 and making it harder for Barca/Real/Juve/Inter etc to be squeezed. Of course the greedy 6 will go along with it whilst keeping a low profile and proclaiming “not me guv”.

We can't have Brighton having as much money to spend on players as Juventus.
