The Athletic dissects the Premier League's 'new deal for football', proposed to the 72 EFL clubs, which has provoked a mixed response
The late Quentin Crisp is not quoted in many football stories, but the gay icon could have been talking about the negotiations between the English Football League and when he noted that “euphemisms are unpleasant truths wearing diplomatic cologne”.
This means clubs in all four divisions, including the Premier League, will only be allowed to spend a set percentage of their revenues on their teams, with the latter determined by how much they spend in wages on players and coaches, plus annual transfer costs and agents’ fees. This system is similar to the EFL’s salary cost management protocol, which operates in League One and League Two, and The Athletic has not spoken to a single EFL club owner or executive who objects to the basic concept.
