Acting like "oh my God, the Super League is so anti-competitive" as if the rules now enhance competition lol.
Even acting like PSR is a meaningful deterrent when you see someone like Chelsea wipe their ass with it non-stop (see: Ben Chilwell transferred to Strasbourg, miraculously on the same wages and length as his current Chelsea deal), just peel off the band-aid and move on. Even just 10 years on from the Leicester miracle we're probably 10,000 times less likely to ever see that again with how much the money has changed.
Salary cap is never happening, the players won't ever voluntarily reduce their own earning power and the rich clubs will never support it. Transfer caps won't happen, selling clubs need to be able to try and rob the rich clubs whenever possible. Super League ain't perfect, but none of the other solutions are either, and it's probably the best overall solution to improve domestic league competitiveness and isolate the riches to do as they do.

You might be right, however I still think that actually enforcing the rules that are already in place is a good starting point. Letting Chelsea just spend like they have, or City with the most obvious issues and letting those things drag on for years and years is at least half of the problem.
