Interestingly, both Newcastle and Villa voted in favour of the new financial framework, but <\/span>Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish says it won’t be long before the same people who “moaned about PSR” start taking issue with SCR and SSR<\/span>. Parish rightly predicted that “with these new rules, selling is going to become a massive thing”, which would mean consistently cashing in on academy products to generate pure profit to help with book-balancing – one of the principal gripes with PSR – could become even more commonplace in the coming years. <\/span><\/p>\n Parish also argued that the fact that Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth, Fulham and Leeds, “probably the most aspirational clubs in the country”, all voted against SCR should be seen as a massive red flag. <\/span><\/p>\n There is no denying, though, that something had to be done, and Masters has quite correctly pointed out that the removal of all cost-control regulations would cause chaos and lead to even greater financial disparity in England’s top flight.<\/span><\/p>\n “I think our league would look very different without it,\u201d <\/span>he told <\/span>talkSPORT<\/em><\/i>.<\/span> \u201cPremier League clubs don’t want that. They want financial regulation, even if they may all have a slightly different version of the financial rules that they would like for themselves. But Villa have been in Europe four times in a row, twice in the Champions League. They won their first trophy for a very long time and I know they would like to kick on from here, but they’ve had fantastic success.<\/span><\/p>\n “Newcastle, obviously a season of change as their players are leaving, but they’re signing new ones and they’ve got a new manager (Matthias Jaissle). Who knows what’s going to happen? That’s the excitement of the Premier League. But everyone should be able to aspire within the Premier League and I think that has been proven over the last four to five seasons.”<\/span><\/p>\n Several sets of supporters would doubtless disagree, given the club that has spent the most money on wages has won six of the last nine titles. Indeed, some would even go far as to say that the Premier League has a problem not just with competitiveness at this point, but also credibility. <\/span><\/p>\n However, Maguire says that “viewing figures and the tribal nature of fanbases would suggest otherwise. The mentality of most supporters is ‘My club, right or wrong’. All that matters to them is winning, meaning how you get there tends to be forgotten quite quickly. Governance and ethical issues have never ended interest in the game, historically speaking.” <\/span><\/p>\n So, don’t expect the Premier League’s popularity to be in any way affected by the ongoing cost-control controversy. While some supporters might think it’s “corrupt as f*ck”, the vast majority of those that follow the ‘Big Six’ are perfectly happy with the way things are right now – and thus more than likely to remain for the foreseeable future.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Interestingly, both Newcastle and Villa voted in favour of the new financial framework, but Crystal…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25466,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25465","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25465","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25465"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25465\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/25466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25465"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
