What a joke Adrian Durham is!! Look at Newcastle and Huddersfield who have spent way more than us and are in the same position!!

Damn good point I think and it may well be something the PL will look into in the future.

Don’t forget clubs are given parachute payments as well to help them adjust financially when relegated . So I guess they have a point saying the money made from being in the Premier is meant to improve your team not to cover debts incurred which is fine except this would distract buyers who would see less profit from buying a football club.
However, how many clubs have spent above their means , been relegated then fallen into HMRC and transfer embargo’s,etc ! clubs also have to be smarter when negotiating contracts to ensure they have a relegation clause in contracts for reduced salaries.

No, but we could ,and as I have said several times here, should , introduce spending limits for clubs. It's been done in the USA which doesn't warm to being told his to spend its money , but they realised that if they didn't act it would kill the game .
There's no doubt that our game is dying on its feet and if Sky or their new owners either go out of business or decide to stop handing out ridiculous sums for tv rights then it'll happen very suddenly. I don't know whether it's considered racist to say this in our insane society , but we also need to limit the number of foreign players per team or we'll end up without any British nations being able to field a credible side in internationals.
Looking at attendances for most games , particularly in the lower divisions, you wonder how sick people are of seeing their teams unable to compete and existing merely as stooges for rich teams to ritually beat on TV every week .
