If you want to prevent teams from buying championships, fine. I might even support that, despite the fact that it hurts my club. But it’s bullshit to tie wages to revenues. That simply allows established teams to spend more than everyone else. There is nothing fair about that Financial FairPlay regime. Who cares where the money comes from if there is no debt? Why is it inherently more fair to allow Arsenal and Liverpool to spend more money than what City’s owner is willing to spend out of pocket, simply because Liverpool and Arsenal were better teams in past decades?
