Transfer window shows Premier League club’s no longer have deep pockets

Serie A was ruined by extensive borrowing and the bigger clubs holding the monopoly through being able to negotiate their own TV deals. The Premier League has had some big casualties over the years, such as Leeds, but for the most part the big clubs run a sustainable business model. Liverpool are in trouble til someone buys them, and Man Utd's well publicised debts have done nothing to increase its' worth as a franchise. The lower spending this summer simply shows that the sport is not recession proof. That, and there have been a lot of smaller transfer fees paid this year, outside of Man City that is.

The new regulations will limit external investment from owners and require clubs to break even over a three-year period....lol ***** are ***** then spend heaps for no return ,massive wage bill they have to pay to get anyone to play for them if foreign investment is limited their is no chance a nothing club like ***** can make enough to break even against the hundreds of millions spent for a carling cup semi lol...

And people are ACTUALLY surprised by this???. When you all were talking shit about the EPL being #1....Ya well I could get a loan, Buy a Ferrari, Mansion, and a Yacht, but then I have to pay back that loan, and I lose Everything. Borrowing doesn't make you the best, sustainability and strong business from with in make you a champion!......Like Juventus, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich. Serie A, and Bundesliga are the 2 most financially stable leagues in the world.
