@Steven_Swinford Not sure why you wouldn’t just means test it, especially when there are though choices to make. Those who need it the most should still receive in its current form, or more. Those who are fortunate enough not to need it, don’t receive it?
@MattyJBatty@1972_rickyb PSR should exist in some form. Perhaps the club which can spend the most under the current rules should be the cap for the full league, if other owners can demonstrate they can sustain that spend. That would be fair, competitive and protects bankruptcy.

Madley got what he wanted, a lot of attention. Worst nufc referee performance since Stroud. Just read why he was dismissed originally - seems a vile person. Got to question how he has been reengaged as a top flight referee, PGMOL desperation perhaps?
Amazing performance. Such a lazy referee decision at the end. So many positives to take from today. Fitting NUFC performance for King Kev. Onwards ⚫️⚪️🖤🤍
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Football needs to reevaluate its rules on finances. Teams being forced to sell their best players damages everything that is good about the competition. It’s killing the hopes, dreams and ambition of every club except the elite.
Howard Webb says that VAR should only interfere the season when there is a 'clearly wrong situation' and leave the subjective decisions to the on field referee.
The current cost control rules in football were not designed to create sustainability (as substantial owner subsidised losses are still allowed) but to prevent 'another' Chelsea or Manchester City upsetting the status quo.
In the season before Abramovich, Chelsea had the joint 5th highest wage bill. The following season it was the highest with average wages going from £21k to £54k a week (and this was in 2003/04)
In the case of Manchester City they went from 5th to 2nd after the Mansour takeover, and were top by 2011/12. Wages going from average of £38k a week to £94k a week during this period.
I've never met a Chelsea or City fan who has tried to deny the impact of the new owners has given the clubs a competitive budget.
So can understand why those Newcastle and Villa fans feel their clubs are on the wrong side of history
