The Premier League's transition to a team value system with a cap on spending up to 85% of revenue poses a threat to European football and could lead to an even greater concentration of players in England.
The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has identified serious concerns about the impact of the new financial rules of the English Premier League (EPL) on the competitiveness of European football. Beginning with the new season, English clubs will switch to a team value ratio (SCR) system..
New rules allow Premier League clubs that do not play in European competitions to spend up to 85% of their income on gravel (and under the rules of the surcharge system, this figure could be as high as 115%). At the same time, the UEFA hard limit for all participants of the Champions League, European League and Conference League will become less than 70%. This difference in financial rules means that mid-level English clubs are missing out on significant purchasing power in the transfer market.
UEFA is afraid that the minds of Brentford and Fulgham can easily interrupt the proposals of such European giants as Italian Milan and Juventus. This will encourage continental clubs to take unjustified financial risks in order to get rid of their leaders.
UEFA Director of Financial Strength Andrea Traveso highlights the scale of the problem:.
“The Premier League alone generates a quarter of all European club revenues. 40% of the world's most valuable players work in English clubs. How many of them are sitting on the bench or in the stands?. This is an alarming concentration of talents,” said the functionary.
Other European leagues are also under pressure. In Spain, the rule is 1:1, Germany voted for the limit at 70%, and France and Italy focus on strict control of payroll capacity. The President of the Spanish La Liga, Javier Tebas, directly stated that English innovations will cause even greater inflation and more problems for the market.
The leadership of the Premier League raises objections and is categorically against the unified European system of financial control. Vice-Chief Director of the Premier League Richard Masters said that the new rule was created to maintain internal balance.
The 85% limit will allow clubs at the bottom of the table to invest in stock to give them a chance to compete for promotion to the European Cup against the top teams..
In the Premier League there is a separate system: Clubs participating in European Cups must comply with UEFA rules and spend no more than 70%. Reshta of the Premier League clubs to remove greens at 85%. If the club pays 85%, it will forfeit a financial penalty. Prote nuclear submarines will introduce a 30-hundredth buffer for several seasons.
Tobto club can total up to 115%. Failure to do so will result in a sporting sanction - 6 points will be deducted (plus 1 point for skin supplements of ?6.5 million per-vitrate).
Football finance expert Kieran Maguire says that in such minds, reaching third place in the European tournament - the Conference League - could be an open cup for English teams. Even the fun club will be included in the maximum 70% of the UEFA, although the prizes are modest (up to 20 million pounds), which puts it at an extreme level with its competitors in the Premier League, which has a limit of 85-115%..
