But don't they already do that?
No, because PSG and City, since this spending level began, haven't won a thing in Europe? That's what buying success is.

PSG, City, Real
Real are terrible these days?

have all the leverage because they have unlimited money. FFP handicaps clubs even more. I just think it's BS, It is absolutely not a fair system, PSG and City have used loopholes to get around the rules, and not all clubs can do that. FFP has basically created a monopoly between 6 clubs or so. The CL has lost it's excitement because of it. I think player prices will start to go down, you can already see it happening this summer. The only club that went crazy was Chelsea, probably because they didn't make any transfers last summer because of their ban.
You say a monopoly but Barca, Real, PSG - their time has gone (PSG already lost twice this season). There wasn't a single Spanish or English side in the last four of the CL last season. Monopoly? You sure?
Right now it's anyone's game, even Liverpool's little flurry has gone. The sport is actually more open than it's been for a long time.
Prices going down? They're the same as always. There was just less movement of the absolute world's best players.
But whatever the reasons for CL losing excitement, it has, tangibly, and definitely.
We agree there!
