There’s clearly no way the current model is viable long term. The gap between rich and poor in the Premier League is colossal, then there’s the gap in revenue for clubs in the top flight trying to survive and clubs in the Championship trying to get promoted.
The P&S rules are not working as designed, so why not just bin them altogether with the caveat every club has to start each season with a fully costed business plan plus unbreakable guarantees owners will make good any losses at the end of year. Failure to do so means demotion back to Conference North/South level.
There should be no undisclosed transfer fees, every one should be broken down to component parts including payments to third parties and installment plans.
Agents can only be paid a fixed percentage of a transfer fee.
Agents have to publish accounts in line with stringent standards. Fail to do so, banned for minimum period.
Let the European Super League happen and take those clubs distorting the pyramid out of the equation.
Let other Clubs have B teams in the pyramid, or allow clubs to be affiliated to larger clubs for loan players, Sunderland to Middlesbrough and Orient to West Ham as examples. 6 players on loan at any one time.
Where a Man City or Liverpool acquire a Delap or Gordon from another teams academy then apply a consistent model to the equation, £2m per player, money per first team appearance, 50% of any loan fee and transfer fee.
The model is so broken it’s untrue.
