The problem is the lax regulations. Clubs are encouraged to come up with creative accounting methods to get away with spending more. Chelsea selling their women's team for two hundred million was the real kicker for me.
It needs to be like the NHL - if there isn't any cap space available, you simply cannot register the player. Chelsea have this massive turnover of players to mask their true spending, and they've been getting away with it for years. Do we really think Manchester City will face serious punishment for their overspending?
