There would seem to be one obvious solution that I haven’t heard people talking about.

More games means more money.

More money could mean more ability to pay players.

Solution - use the money to increase squad sizes, allow greater rotation of players to rest, ask football associations to increase the number of players that can be registered to play

Wasn’t “this will hurt the fans” the same argument used to avoid harshly punishing the break away super league clubs?

u/TheTelegraph is an account who’s only role is to post Telegraph articles on subs like r/soccer and here. I don’t understand why this doesn’t break rules around self promo because its clearly a corporate account and doesn’t contribute to the site in any typical way that is usually required i.e. comments and conversations with other users

Edit - to add, so whilst other users who genuinely want to contribute to the sub might see an interesting article and post it for discussion, the Telegraph account simply posts every article without further thought or analysis. The former is people who understand the interests of the sub and exercising their judgment to share things that would be of interest, the latter is just spam posting

I get that Everton have broken the rules, and I definitely agree that a punishment of a points deduction is fair.

What I absolutely cannot understand is how breaking FFP rules by ~£20m is punished (-10pts) more harshly than a club actually going into administration (-9pts).

Breaking FFP rules are bad financial management, going into administration is literally threatening the existence of the club

Its still a 50/50 chance whether commentators call him Braithwaite unfortunately

James Milner did play for Leeds in the prem. I remember because i swear he became the youngest premier league goalscorer at the time
