Quote from The Athletic:
«If anchoring was in effect last season, the cap would have been £518million, five times the £103.6m that
Southampton, who finished 20th, earned in centralised revenues, with
Chelseaspending more than that on wages, amortised transfer fees and payments to agents, with
Manchester City not far behind.
Unsurprisingly, the idea is far more popular with clubs further down the revenue table. They see it as a way to stop the league’s biggest earners from being able to outspend them at an ever-expanding rate. Without it, they fear the league’s already fragile competitive balance would be further eroded.»
