Premier League clubs have agreed in principle to introduce a spending cap.
A majority of clubs voted in favour of the spending cap, which will be determined by the amount of money earned in television rights by the lowest-earning club in the Premier League.
If approved at June's AGM, the new model will replace the Profit and Sustainability Regulations presently used from the 2025-26 season onwards.
The league's current financial rules, which have seen Everton and Nottingham Forest penalised six and four points respectively this season, have been criticised for favouring clubs with the highest revenue.
The new model is being referred to as "anchoring".

Dunno about Serie A, but LaLiga's had a salary cap in place for several years now.

They call it a salary cap but it covers all football staff expenditure, including player and coaching team wages, transfer fees, agent fees, individual and team bonuses.

So yes, it's basically the same kind of spending cap the PL's considering. We've also got the compulsory release clauses, which puts clubs here at an additional disadvantage.

"It's an absolute mess this league right now and it's all really because of your club let's be honest. The landscape changed and not for the better unless you happen to be a City fan."
To be fair the state of the league isn't all on City. It started when Abramovich took over Chelsea. Transfer fees inflated when Chelsea acted like a newly minted lottery winner in the market. It calmed down a bit then inflated again with City's takeover.
Throw in the extra money from huge TV deals both domestic and international we now have the ridiculous situation the league is in.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It started when clubs turned into PLCs, it was exacerbated by the formation of the PL and then the imposing tv rights. Abramovic and Mansour are products of that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not really because neither are or were in it for the gravy train. The high profile of the league is what attracted this sort of billionaire play thing / sportwashing investment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s not true for Mansour. Either way though it’s still linked to the changes brought in in the early nineties and the PL product.
