No real surprise with a number of PL clubs looking to getting caught by these rules.
Will this affect our situation?

At a meeting today, the chairmen of all the Premier League clubs refused to agree a new deal for increased funding of EFL clubs until all these financial restrictions on P&S are relaxed. Interesting.n

What does even mean, expand your comment so it makes sense please.

I have no idea where the expression originated but the idea is from someone being so infested with a sense of self-importance that, if they were made of chocolate, they’d eat themselves. So, substitute 'someone' for the football authorities and their love affair with the big clubs and wrap that up with their joint self importance and there you have it. Hope this helps.

It did, thank you
However, if you ate yourself how could you then be self important to you let alone anyone else and how would it be possible to eat your own mouth and……… ignore me

PWEI lead singer Clint Mansell had a rather successful follow on career as film score composer in the US.
I saw the London Contemporary Orchestra perform Mansell's original score side-by-side with a screening of the cult sci-fi film Moon at Th Barbican in 2019.
Very different to Beaver patrol.

They wont agree to it cos half of them cant afford it, therefore being in breach of said rules themselves and the other half want to switch to the Uefa model of ffp because that model favours the bigger more successful clubs.

Another part of the new agreement, I have since read on the BBC site, was to stop parachute payments for relegated teams from the FPL to the EFL. It was said that it was making it uncompetitive for other teams to trying to compete on transfers and wages (ie Leicester,Leeds and Southampton this season). Mind you, Ipswich seem to have successfully struggled through.
If relegated clubs have to drop down without parachute payments and only lose ÂŁ13m in that first season, I could see pretty much every single one breaking the rule. Unless they write-off staying up as a gamble not worth taking, in terms of contracts and salaries.
Who are you going to be able to sign on a one year contract when you go up that's any good? That rule could see 17 of the PL clubs being virtually fixed for ever.

So..... the big six have wanted a closed shop for years it was muted before the Prem came into being
Yeah, but this is being prompted by the football league

The FL is only a nodding dog to the Prem anyway

Only because they feel forced to be as they are dependent on the PL for whatever crumbs they allow but there can surely be no way that the Prem and the EFL would be aligned on doing away with parachute payments. For over half of the PL it would be way too dangerous. I get that the payments are skewing the competition in the Championship but unless and until the gap in financing closes significantly between the divisions (and that ain't going to happen whatever they decide with their current negotiations) any attempt by the EFL to force it through I would think is far more likely to lead to the closed shop that the EFL would be desperate to avoid.

That's precisely the point, but all of them at the EFL seem to be banging that drum for the past couple of years. And presumably why they're still waiting for an offer from the PL clubs, who want to keep the PPs. Makes no sense to me.
