There will be some unhappy people now

I thought that would 100% sale through since it was only a temporary measure. It was the sponsorship one I thought would fail. Since it massively unworkable and probably could be challenged. The deals already have to get passed by a independent board.

I would also laugh if we didn’t loan anyone as our targets don’t seem to be from the Saudi league

In at the back post second vote failed

It's a ridiculous situation that clubs under common ownership can loan players between them without there being additional commercial checks in place, but equally I think it would have been wrong to have introduced a rule urgently now for this specific case. Doing so would set a precedent under which clubs could reasonably easily change the rules midway through a season if something happens which they don't like, which seems wrong to me. This should have been resolved over the summer. That hasn't happened, so it needs fixing next summer.

It isnt necessarily an issue now but whats to stop a PIF club signing for e.g. Mbappe then loaning him to Newcastle other then Mbappe not being fond of Parmos?

Nothing.

Wonder if Manu voted against it with the incoming links to Nice. A few tasty loans available there!

Has there ever been a more transparent scheme to circumvent FFP than this?

Those 7 clubs are so obvious why they voted how they did.

Would loved to have seen the room when Everton voted. Don’t believe they are part of a multi club ownership.

Villa and Brighton are. Still voted for it.

 

[Shamikebab]

Everton are looking for buyers, of course they'd vote for it

 

[Bigpig]

should have waited until after the vote before docking them 10 points
Villa and Brighton voting against it is no surprise there. It’s was only a temporary ban so they would have gained from it.

What a load of ********. What’s with the whole let’s clean the sport now we are in far too deep to stop it. It’s only going to be the small offenders that get rogered over this.

This is very smart by City. If everyone gets relegated then everyone plays in the Championship for a season.

Surely that will be time barred under the law since it was so long ago?
