There Premier League she may soon become less of a spendthrift. She talks about it The Athletic, according to which the majority of clubs voted in favor of introducing a cost-cutting plan starting from the 2025-26 season. Only three clubs said “no”, Manchester United, Manchester City and Aston Villa, while Chelsea abstained. The other 16 companies, however, all spoke out in favor.
The vote was held at the Churchill Hotel, but for the official and definitive ratification of the new cost containment plan we will have to wait for the Annual General Meeting scheduled for June. The objective is to reduce the gap between the firepower of the big teams and the rest of the teams, making the championship more balanced and competitive but still maintaining the competitiveness of the English teams at European level intact.
Finally, the same newspaper adds that the new spending limit will allow clubs to spend only five times the commercial and television revenue of the bottom of the table. To put it more clearly, if the cap had been applied this season, the limit for Premier League clubs would have been £518 million, which is five times the £103.6 million commercial and broadcast revenue of the bottom club.
