But if the fine is a percentage of overspend then a City overspending by 50million would have to pay a fine of £2 for every £1 (£100million) or have I misunderstood thatHow could a fine or a percentage of say 120 million spent on a single player "level the playing field"? if that club was fined 10 million which is divided by 17 other clubs?
A team like City would factor the fine into their transfer budget. This is not a deterrent but a way for very rich clubs to continue what they are already doing.
