The
Premier League says its clubs will be punished with a point’s deduction if they
breach new spending controls.
Each
team will not be allowed to make a total loss of more than £105m over the next
three seasons and must limit their player wage bills from next season.
“If
people break the £105m we will look for the top-end ultimate sanction range - a
point’s deduction," said Premier League boss Richard Scudamore.
The
rules are designed to improve the financial sustainability of clubs.
The
Premier League has just passed the half-way mark of its 21st season,
and despite the fact that pretty much every team in it, particularly those at
the business end, are operating insane losses and have huge debts.
So why
has it taken essentially a threat from the government for footballs top
executives to agree that maybe the situation is a little out of control and there
are problems that need to fixed.
Also
the amount of debt that clubs are allowed is significantly more than the amount
allowed under UEFA Financial Fair Play regulations, so they are either pointless
rules of Premier League clubs will not be competing in Europe in the near
future, I wonder which one that’ll be.
