Simon Jordan & Finance Expert Kieran Maguire REACT To Premier League Spending Cap 👀 | talkSPORT 

Love the way Jim just nods his head when he hasn’t got a scooby what the geezers either side of him are talking about 😊

Clubs shouldn’t be paying for agents. Players should pay the agents. That would help out with the outlandish spending

The main concern in all of this is, who is buying Scott McTominay duvet covers!?

If they made agents fees a flat rate like they do in the NFL, that would massively help drive down excessive expenditure.

Any acronym in football is just ruining football,,,,, FFP, VAR, Make Mitre size 5 Great again.......

EPL go from one disaster to the next, stop interfering with the clubs finances, no one stopped real Madrid spending every year, the galacticos, when the English clubs can now compete,everybody is now up in arms

Finally everyone is realizing FFP was always about protecting the Cartel. They never wanted City in. Unfortunately, City now sits at the head of the Cartel

Why aren't there spending caps on TV rights so that more viewers can aford to watch it?

There are 3 types of club in the premier league - those who are global brands, those who are trying to become a global brand, and those who’s ambitions will never extend that far because they just don’t have the visibility and size to ever do it. The final group are those to whom TV money is the most important. If theyre capping spending to a multiple of TV money when bigger clubs have other revenue streams, you are creating a perfect impetus for a super league once again.

No one on top wants to level the playing field. They want small clubs to stay small. They do t want anyone challenging their spot. This is Execellent, it adds much needed parity to a sport with very little.

Everton raise two fingers as they break rules and survive, Leicester raise another two as their over spend has meant they had a stronger squad and ran away with The Championship.

I love that Simon has emphasized that FFP is a protection racket. It's always been that, and the so called "big" clubs have leveraged it to their advantage at the cost of everyone else. It's disgusting. Get back to having no rules about club finances.

Simon kicked the other finance guy off the show for showing him up too much😂

If clubs dont spend money they can afford to spend, the money will just go to the owners, there wont be a decrease in ticket prices or investment in the local area

Super League is inevitable. Florentino Perez was right.😂😂😂😂

Villa's owners are very wealthy, close to the wealthiest that isn't state owned, and want to spend to push on from this fantastic season. Makes total sense why they opposed it.

wouldn't it be easier if a owner was allowed to spend what ever they wanted as long as they could cover the spending and it wasn't leveraged against the club ? so if someone wanted to spend 500 mil of their own money that would be fine as long as it's not linked to the club and only came out of their pockets ?

I genuinely was so confused it wasn't martin o'neil in the thumbnail

So typical. Villa finally looking like achieving champions league football and now the prem are trying to stifle them as it doesn't fit with their "big 6" agenda.

It's killing football especially Premier league.

@2:40 SImon Jordan misinforms the public - La Liga does not have a hard cap like what is proposed here by the PL - La Liga allows Real Madrid to spend more than Barca based on calculations similar to PSR.

Excellent conversation here - well done all 3 panelists for breaking down this and going into the details. I don't know what I think about it all, still though...! 😂

Isn't it obvious? Capping how much you spend means, you can drive wages and transfers deals DOWN, that's all around gain if if it's agreed by the club. PFA should reject it and challenge it in court.

It seems Florentino Perez and Laporta secret plan is working 😂

Southampton got 103 million for finishing last 😂😂😂 wtf

The Premier league has spent the past few years trying to prevent Newcastle United from catching the top 6 and in the process shafted the other clubs in the league and now its time for a bit of karma

Love the way Simon is totally concentrated on what he’s saying, if you have Simon’s attention in this way you have bloodwell earned it. Respect.

Keep PSI. Make the clubs sweat and thus deflating transfer fees and wages. The rules should have teeth though and points deductions have certainly made teams sit up and notice.

Simon face when he said the name Steve parish 😄😄😄 his blood was boiling

Just allow clubs to spend what they want, none of them are going under. If the European clubs cant keep up then they need to look at their own product.

18:52 - Simon having a good'ol pick and sniff...

Scott McTominay duvet covers 😂

It makes no sense to only base it on Premier league income because some teams gain revenue money for being in European competitions also.

The 85 percent squad cost rule would only apply to Crystal Palace if they got into Europe right?

You sure that's not Martin O'Neil on the right speaking in an English accent

Can someone please explain why clubs agreed to cap the amount that's allowed to be invested in teams. I'm kinda confused.

How about you say the top club expenditures amount can be matched by the rest of the clubs as long as the owners don’t leverage the money spent against the club unless the clubs income covers those expenses. This does not include stadium upgrades. That should be separate.

Just start the super league already

Is it just me who thought early premier league days were the peak of football? No VAR, no FFP controversial ref decisions were discussed and left alone before the next game, pundits were actually pundits not ex players fan boying their club, and we even used to have fan zone 😢 game is gone

presumably the clubs can revalue their players upwards as well as down, do those wooden dollars go to P&L too....if so, it is a complete farce

I can't be the only person who thought this was martin O'Neill in the thumbnail

Bloody hell, all these massive teams bickering over their masses of millions and having the maximum to spend. Meanwhile, the FA is fining and docking points of the much smaller teams for issues with financial fair play. Seems a bit off...

Spending cap is daft. Football clubs should take responsibility for their spending decisions. If a club wants to spend 300k a week on an alcoholic wannabe politician, then let them.

I am surprised how poor the planning is by the PL and solutions that don't seem well researched and checked. Seems very contradictory.

They can introduce whatever they want. I reckon some teams will still spend with impunity, what do you reckon?

I agree with SJ - how many clubs, especially PL clubs, have gone to the wall since say 1888/9? And how many businesses…

It's important not to lose the Clubs that increase Global appeal, Serie A miserably broke down because Ac Milan, Juve and Inter Milan stopped being a Global Force... If The Prem Loses Manchester United and Manchester City to something like the Super League that would hurt it's TV income... Contrary to what people believe Manchester City has more Global fans than Liverpool currently just go to Africa one the biggest Premier League Markets. Liverpool never really had any grip there so it was easy for Man City to capture new fans and they continue to increase in Asia and South America.

Teams in the bottom don't require a bigger squad because they don't play in multiple cup competitions, and honestly, there are many club owners who don't like to spend!

Its still 70% of turnover for United and City just on wages.

14:17 400 million pounds wages-result? mid-table 🤣🤣🤣

Agents work for players and are employed by the players, so how did the clubs get conned into giving any money to agents?

I have checked it, based on last year figure, Manchester City will be able to spend just £600m in transfers, wages and agency fees

Surely the owners and share holders should decide what and how they spend their money while taking into account supporters are the main reason for a club to be run professionally and successfully at whatever level.

Agent pay is crazy in Europe compared to anywhere else in the world.

Simon flip flopping. No team in the prem have struggled with overspending? Portsmouth, leeds, sunderland even liverpool got seized by the banks. Everton today look like they are in massive financial trouble. Which has nothing to do with any points deductions.

They should salary cao and make the players pay the agent fees at the end of the day the agent is emoloyed by the player. Svoyld of been done ages ago thisnis laughabke by th PL

why does Kieran look like a younger version of Martin O'Neill?!

This kieran guy seems to trying to frame it that its protecting big 6 and nothing will change, and when simon pointed out chelsea, with there amounting wages, player lose values etc would be effected he went quiet. So these will have a negative effect on the likes of city, united etc?

Newcastle could get huge deals but we get denied that aswell so how can we make big incomes when we get stopped

Incomprehensible that agents' fees are so heavily included in the discussion?

Why does Simon always dress like a joe 90 looking substitute geography teacher

Ruining the game. Let the free market decide, that's what's made the Premier League what it is. If Newcastle get new owners let them spend it, if they go bust let them. As football fans we don't just think of success as winning trophies, so leave our game alone.

Football clubs need to start showing concern for football supporters who are being treated like customers instead of fans of a club.

So I guess newly promoted clubs are really going to struggle to compete going forward.

People keep saying Newcastle United wanna spend spend spend. As if they plan to spend silly crazy money for players like Chelsea, Man Utd & Man City. After the new ownership took over they made all very very sensible signing, all their signing r benefiting the team

why go with the bottom club, why not just have a set amount every year??

Why would the clubs vote in something that would handicap themselves still. If what he is saying the anchoring proposal means nothing unless 70 percent of your revenue is higher than the anchoring camp so 90 percent of the teams it won't matter too keeps the cartel in place still. Seems strange

Scott McTominay duvet covers? Marcus Rashford toilet paper and i might consider it.

Simon, you and everyone else seem to have forgotten that Chelsea's wage bill this season and going forward is far lower than the 350m or so a season from last season.

As a Newcastle supporter this is great news it will allow us to compete

Wait @5:00 Gary Neville says it cannot be true - no way City generate more commercial revenue than Utd. Did this guy just contradict Gary Neville?

So now FFP is about pulling up the draw bridge? How could so many not see that from the beginning?! 😆

This is bad news for my club Villa tbh ..

So this gives broadcasters the most power in football as they control the tv money?

Jim White hasn't a clue what they're on about

i thought it also included commercial revenue

Kieran is great and his podcast the price of football. He always tells it as it is, and takes it from a fans perspective

The Premiere League have agreed to think about setting up a meeting to talk about the possibility of a salary cap being considered

Shame Simon wasn't a financial expert when he bankrupted crystal Palace...

You all do realize that this spending cap will limit EPL's ability to compete with La Liga and other leagues right?

Liverpool signed four new commercial deals worth 45m and their new Adidas deal for the 25/26 season will generate 100m

We just need to make sure the likes of us and Villa can constantly finish in the top 4 and make some of these big 6 have less and less power .. i just pray we dont become the greedy bastards like the current top 6

Septic six

These rules are blinking stupid all clubs should have as many funds as possible to spend

Newcastle United kerbed again. Moving goal posts. Where was all this during the Chelsea revolution

Man City didn’t vote at all why didn’t they mention that

Arsenal took "We can't compete" to whole new different level 🤣🤣🤣💀

OFC Man Utd and City objected given their revenues and where those revenue streams come from, but there now protected from their revenue they see as a divine guaranteed right being challenged under the current model of FFP, if Man Utd were not in the CL for 5 yrs in a row because someone else can have go , do it better and beat them to it obvs means sponsor money etc will drop so they will never want that risk. the great thing is about this proposed model is any sensible owner can have go one season and if it doesn't go as planned cut back again and not worry they will get a points deduction for having a go one year then missing out. The league will be more competitive and fun and varied and owners will still have to run clubs well to maintain long term success through managing all the commercial stuff and not just taking for granted money coming in. Simon is bang on the current model has delivered what the top clubs wanted - a free pass and easy ride to win and generate money.

So all of this is just politics... These rules don't change anything but rather limit the top clubs from spending...

They keep basing the rules on club income which is THE WRONG WAY TO DO IT! Just because you have a lot of plastic fans or you abuse loopholes or simply just cheat to get insane "sponsorship deals" should not allow you to spend three or four times that of another club.

Anchoring is the best solution for competition and more fair than FFP & PSR. If both Luton & Man City are both allowed to spend up to £500M, Luton are more likely to compete than if they were allowed to spend 85% of their small revenue (eg. £100m) and Man City spending 70% of their revenue (eg. £700m)

If I was in charge of any of those leagues, I would be relaxing financial controls enough to allow big names in. English football had a 30/40 year advantage with the popularity of Liverpool and United and a combination of cultural appreciations. But football fandom is changing now. People increasingly follow players, not clubs. If the PL is stupid enough to lose out on the next generation of top players to other leagues because of unnecessary financial control, there may be a price to pay in the longer term, especially with the cultural appreciations dwindling. Tebas, for example, may be a ****, but I don't think he is stupid.

What is happening at all

So clubs are no longer allowed to benefit from their commercial success off the field? That is nonsense.

Wait, Abramovich was paying 900k per week to have hiw own parking area, for 19 YEARS? So he paid 821 million pounds for parking in total? This must be a mistake by the expert, surely. 😮

@11:15 - so the truth comes out - the cap as all caps are exist to guarantee profits for clubs AND to stop top clubs from running away as Simon presses the man that it changes nothing for Crystal Palace, but stops Utd and City from spending within their PSR framewwork. DISGUSTING

Yes but not withstanding that

Burnley owners should sponsor themselves for 300m like man city blatantly do. Sponsors linked with ownership shoild be banned

Which team is spending 500+million net?.... Barely any clubs have a revenue of 500 million.... Especially with the 85% cap.... It barely changes much.... City spend around 400-500....
