For several years now, the Premier League has become the most attractive championship for a player. In addition to the great competitiveness between the 20 teams in the English elite, the championship across the Channel draws its power from its great economic growth thanks to the sale of TV rights. But now, this juicy ecosystem is threatened by several rules that the major bodies of English football want to put in place. The latest one? Establish a spending and salary cap for 2025-2026 in order to limit disparities between Premier League clubs.
This Monday, this proposal was also to be voted on by the latter. And 16 of them said they were in favor of introducing a plan to implement this new law. Apart from Manchester United, Manchester City and Aston Villa who refused, Chelsea also abstained. While Everton and Nottingham Forest had been impacted this season by financial fair play, this system tends to bring fairness to the decisions of the English financial policeman, accused of only targeting small clubs.
