Particularly in the top two divisions, if clubs lived within their means, the fans would not have to worry about clubs going bust, the owners would make no losses (and maybe even profits), and the only losers would be players' obscene wage packets. This government has done so so much wrong and is quite rightly on it's last legs, but I'm glad that it's fiiiinally bringing football regulation onto the agenda. |  | | |

The problem being it would confirm as unassailable at the top a small group of the richest clubs, with the largest grounds and most overseas supporters.
There has to be something artificial in there, like the proposal to cap at multiples of the pooredt club in a division's turnover.
Plus it needs to be universal, worldwide. Else the best players, those we most want to watch, simply go to China, Saudi, or wherever the current megabucks league is. FIFA should do it, but they (and, historically, some of their senior execs) have long had an interesting relationship with money. |  |
