War going on? My owner is not to blame at all, in fact, he won trophies and I cried in joy like a baby. He's actually a hero if you think about it.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-05/chicago-cubs-owners-weigh-offer-for-abramovich-s-chelsea-fc Heartiest of LOLs if they were to somehow pull it off. If you're not familiar with Major League Baseball: the Ricketts family bought the Cubs and went from overseeing their first MLB championship in 109 years (2016) and being absolutely beloved to making so many asinine cost-saving and other moves that within five years they were utterly reviled by the team's own fanbase. Forbes estimates the Cubs' value at something like $3.4 billion, and the Ricketts clan basically sees them more like an investment vehicle than a sports team. The richest family member is worth $2.5 billion by himself and claimed a couple of years ago that spending roughly 40% of the team's yearly income on player salaries meant the organization was in the red and spending was unsustainable.

Dudley posted:If they think 40% is a lot they're gonna love the Premier League. Absolutely everyone knew it was a load of horseshit because every credible estimate has the organization bringing in roughly $500 million a year and the most they've spent on MLB players in a season in the last five is ~$195 and of course there's no transfer fees in baseball, so even just doing basic math made his claims completely laughable. Yet, he continues on this path with a straight face as if everyone but him is the moron.

Also this feels like something that should be sort out in the off season.

That's an interesting point - if you break (FA) EPL rules and then get relegated before the punishment is applied, does the punishment apply to your next (Football League) Championship season or does it just wait for you to get promoted again?

Leeds tried going officially bust after relegation from the championship was confirmed so that the points deduction didn't matter. For being cheeky they got a double points deduction for the following season in league one. Would like to see Everton start their 7000 game season on minus 30 points

Also for Leeds' plan to work wouldn't they have to go Rangers-style bankrupt and actually get thrown entirely out of the competition?
