It has become apparent that certain teams want to have no restrictions on spending. Domestically, these currently include Man City, Chelsea and Newcastle.

I propose that these teams should have their own league where they can spend as much as they like and play each other in an endless round robin tournament until they have furiously outspent each other to death.

Meanwhile, the rest of the football league could play on with sensible financial restrictions to keep a semblance of a level playing field, where potentially, a well run club could win things.

Or do we let capitalism completely ruin football?
 
Can we not just impose financial rules and punish offenders as we do currently?

That would be great if certain teams didn’t block any action through their lawyers.
Meanwhile, they steamroller all competition for over a decade by breaking rules that all others have to abide by.
 
They wouldn't want that obviously because nobody would have an unfair advantage like they want/have now.

Don’t forget Aston Villa… actually, probably teams like Forest, Fulham, and Bournemouth as well.

Uhmmmm didn’t they try to implement this though with the “Superleague”?

Ohhhh the faux outrage of the evils of capitalism, because everything tends to be better with socialism and a lack of prosperity.
 
City Football Group just about have enough teams where they could field their own league.

They can cheat to their hearts content and noone would care.
