‘What a joke’… Tottenham fans angry after new Premier League rule is set to be announced

Tottenham Hotspur fans have been left furious after reports emerged over a potential new regulation to be announced by the Premier League.

A lot is being made of the current financial rules in the English top flight as some clubs fall short of the requirements.

And it seems as if the Premier League will be making changes over the summer to lessen the burden.

Premier League financial regulations

According to Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol, the current ‘controversial’ Profit and Sustainability Rules are set to be scrapped this summer.

A new set of regulations will be brought into place which will align with UEFA’s squad cost ratio rules.

Clubs will be limited to what they can spend of their revenue on transfers and player wages.

Solhekol has claimed the limit could be as high as 85% of their revenue potentially available to spend.

And it is apparent this is a ruling which is not going down well in north London with the Tottenham fans who have shared their concerns on social media.

What does this mean for Tottenham?

Well, Tottenham are one of the highest revenue-making clubs in the Premier League as it stands.

The opening of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been a game changer for the club.

And the possibility of playing Champions League football next season is something which would further boost their ability to spend in the summer.

However, Spurs have operated incredibly well under the current FFP regulations which has clearly caught some other teams out recently.

But allowing clubs to potentially spend up to 85 per cent of their revenue made will only allow the likes of Manchester City to spend even more.

Of course, it could be seen as an opportunity for Tottenham to spend more freely, however, it is apparent they do not have owners who just chuck money at signings.

That is not to say Tottenham have not spent well in recent windows, but Daniel Levy and co are known for spending well within their means.

So this could potentially work against Tottenham if their owners are not willing to potentially shorten their profits as a result of their new ability to spend on new players.
