….that £40m or whatever it is might well become much more the ‘new normal’ for top rated players as things stand (pending any Super League set up anyway), so potentially bringing the ‘big’ clubs closer to our levels of spending.They've got the cash, that's not the problem.
They just can't legally spend it.
I agree with those saying the transfer values and likely wage expectations of top players have now halved or more since the Everton points deduction.
What is less clear is how it will affect clubs like us who are holding players, who will certainly want to go the likes of Chelsea or Liverpool, but if the best we're getting offered for Pedro is, say £40m, do we sell or not sell? I can see arguments both ways
