Does anyone actually believe those numbers for PSG? I'm sure their average attendance is probably only about 40k.

They really are the French equivalent of Man City.

Their owner probably goes wild in the club shop every match day between ordering 400,000 litres of orange juice and 80,000 portions of chips.
 
Thing that I don't get is why people aren't expecting Levy to adjust spending down just because other clubs have to for FFP.

If the market spends less, the ENIC/Levy model will 100% adjust down as well and we will still want to avoid spending on a top tier wage bracket for players.
But it's relative, if the market adjusts so that transfer fees and wages are lower we won't have to spend more but will still have an advantage because we have higher ratio we are able to spend of earned income. He may well do what you say and then his glee club will have absolutely no place left to hide. One way or other we get end game.

Not sure what this is based on.

End game is optmistic.

There would still be people in here celebrating 5th with the 7th highest wage bracket or something similar. Claiming it's a huge underdog achievement against giants that we shouldn't feel entitled to compete with.

It's even more nuanced than that because in fairness to all it may not even be on ENIC because for their plan to work it depends on the billion to one shot that the EPL and UEFA actually rigorously enforced FFP/PSR and don't bottle it .

That too.

We already saw a backtrack on Everton. The chances of the big guns actually being held to FFP is just getting smaller and smaller. Nobody really believes the premier league wants to see less spending on star players... Do they?
 
Sounds like some pl clubs are shitting it and want the rules relaxed. Talk they want to bring in the uefa model which is even stricter though.


Levy with being high up at the ECA and chummy with those at UEFA should be all over this so we should be aligned with those and well within the proposed higher figures being bandied about. Trouble is, will we spend?

Tbf their plan is also to not go bust

I'm not sure the same could be said of Everton's owners, for example, as much as their fans want to paint us as being part of some evil controlling 'cartel'
