With all the chat about the FFP rules and how they keep the bottom clubs from competing, wouldn't it make sense to give promoted clubs a one-off, free year (maybe limited to once every five years or something, to stop yo-yo clubs doing it every single time?)
So when you get promoted, your first year isn't counted towards FFP. There should be regulations with that, of course - namely, that the money spent must be covered in its entirety by the owners and not placed as a lasting debt on the club (to stop bad owners running a club into the ground by spending big)...
Also, if it was a rule that EVERY single contract in the Prem - even those of KDB, Grealish etc - have to have a relegation clause in them - then it would go some way to solving the problem of clubs being loaded with big contracts on relegation.
Is that too simple? Probably, I don't lay claim to being much of an economics buff... |  |
