it doesn't come in to effect really for 3 years though, so unless you go on a Man City like spending spree I don't think buying 2-3 players will do much. And it's not transfers in = transfers out, it's transfers in need to be below revenue

and Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Man U all make money so I don't think any of the two have a problem with it. Chelsea and City will

but I did read something in the paper about why Spurs didn't sell off all of their dead weight at january was to wait until august so that those sales would count as revenue for the fair play stuff, guessing Liverpool maybe did the same thing. It's smart business
