Few people fully understand how FFP (financial fair play) works. In order for an average person to not tire their brain with mid-boggling calculations – the Department of Football Finance at the University of Liverpool did all the math and predicted how much money are Premier League clubs allowed to spend individually in the next three years. All the big spenders want to do business without fear of being a subject to a possible transfer ban.The Premier League caravan is led by Tottenham, which are allowed to spend around 538 million USD for new signings. The Spurs lifted their last trophy (League Cup) 13 years ago, but from the economic aspect, Daniel Levy is doing a great job.Hoeness launches it at PSG and Man City: Sh**ty money is not enough, beating them must be our goalThe University of Liverpool calculated that between 2010 and 2020, Spurs’ profit amounted more than half-a-billion dollars. By comparison, Chelsea and Manchester City had a negative balance while Man United made a profit of close to 170 million USD.It is safe to say Antonio Conte would not have come to north London if the management had not promised him investments and new signings starting January – he had a completely different scenario with Inter Milan. But the possibility of spending hundreds of millions of dollars does not mean that the Spurs will exploit their gold mine all at once. In the last ten years, the north-Londoners have spent between 25 and 50 percent on transfers compared to the expenses of other members of ‘the Big Six’.Arsenal director: The club were wrong to enter the European Super League projectTrailing closely behind Tottenham are Liverpool, which, thanks to their latest business moves, have the right to spend up to 366 million USD in the next three years. The top two are followed by Manchester United (325 million), Chelsea (322 million), and Arsenal (269 million USD)Financial-fair play allows clubs to report a loss of 140 million USD over three years, which can be compensated by wealthy owners. However, making a profit and compensating for costs with additional funds or football development projects allows for this limit to be altered.Flexing the financial muscle: Newcastle United offer $63.5 million to Barcelona for Marc Andre Ter StegenOutside the ‘Big Six’, Burnley and Newcastle have the biggest room to ‘blossom’, and the Magpies, who were recently taken over by Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman and announced major signings for the winter, have 268 million USD at their disposal. Even though they became three times richer than the rest of the Premier League clubs combined with the influx of capital from the Middle East, it does not allow them to spend relentlessly. In any case, there will be enough money for players with whom Eddie Howe could turn the season around and survive in the English elite.Chelsea wanted and still want Kounde but Man United are on their way to snatch the Frenchman”Newcastle could increase the mentioned amount in the coming months when new sponsorship agreements are signed. The influx of money into the club could go through infrastructure and shirt and pitch sponsorships.”Annually, the Magpies could profit up to 137 million USD from commercial business. Newcastle is now slowly joining the big guys and could spend huge amounts of money on transfers, while remaining within the limits of financial fair play.” said Kieran Maguire from the University of Liverpool.According to the Daily Mail, this is the current spending allowance of English Premier League Clubs according to Financial Fair Play 🤔 pic.twitter.com/wgaiMG7HUr— BirdieFootball (@birdiefootball) November 12, 2021 Maguire’s analysis is based on financial information dating from 2020. So far, only Manchester United has published their financial reports for 2021, and when the data of all clubs become available, the current figures published by the University of Liverpool will be modified. Then, for example, Aston Villa will show profit, which does not include the sale of Jack Grealish, and it will be seen whether Newcastle is really becoming a serious factor in arguably the best league in the world.PREMIER LEAGUE CLUBS RANKED BY PERMITTED TRANSFER EXPENDITURE (IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS)Tottenham – 538 million USDLiverpool – 366 million USDMan United – 325 million USDChelsea – 322 million USDArsenal – 269 million USDNewcastle – 267 million USDBurnley – 229 million USDLeeds – 138 million USDNorwich – 122 million USDBrentford – 118 million USDBrighton – 113 million USDMan City – 112 million USDLeicester – 105 million USDWest Ham – 95 million USDWolverhampton – 94 million USDCrystal Palace – 88 million USDWatford – 80 million USDSouthampton – 49 million USDAston Villa – 7 million USD*Everton – negative 47 million USD
