platini has also stated that with these sugar daddy clubs like man shitty ruining football, platini is looking to introduce a system where by clubs can be thrown out of european competitions if they spend over their income, i.e if the kaka to man c deal had gone through then including wages, had exceeded the owner's income then they would be out of europe. Basically platini wants to tighten up the excessive spending spree that the english have been enjoying for the last few years, i hope it goes through, because platini as much as i love him as a player, hasn't shown much action as president of uefa, but at least he's making the right noises.
platini has been "talking the talk" since he got into power,i fear that he is standing alone though and he does not have the backing of some of his peers to push through some of these legislations. basically he is being undermined by people who fear the wrath of the "power clubs" if they do anything to make their life tougher
well i would imagine he has the full support of the italian clubs, although inter spend excessive ammounts its not to the height of how the top prem clubs have been spending recently, i would imagine some of the prem clubs like arsenal, man utd and liverpool? would agree to support the legislation, and the rest of europe, i cant see why they would be against it either
Currently teams are spending huge amounts of money because things are good.
They commit to giving players big, long term deals because TV money is sustaining them right now.
I think it is unlikely that TV money will continue at that level indefinitely and then a lot of teams (read midtable sides paying players 50,000+ per week) will have to sell their top earners or go bust.
Look at Leeds, they were assuming they would keep getting into the CL, but they didn't and they collapsed. It is entirely possible that the same could happen to another team that has budgeted for CL/Premiership money to miss on on them and finish up in major trouble.
The next Premiership TV deal is up for negotiation quite soon, I believe. It will be interesting to see how it compares to the current one.
Take Rangers for example. They failed to qualify fo European football this season, having budgeted for it, and were desperately trying to lower their wage bill through January.

Does the income Plantini mentioned meant TV money, gate receipts, sponsorship deals and other income associated with football? and the so-called outside money from their rich owners does not count?
I think most clubs spent beyond their "football-only" income and are most often than not backed by their owners. Moretti and Berlusconi comes to mind ...
In Man city's case, where they are not in the CL ... if they did get Kaka, they are spending many many times more which is really extreme.

i don't think so
if you want to compare it to the economy then it is a good thing that the big clubs spew out money for players because someone needs to put cash out there into the market to keep the market alive. if all the clubs were equally cheap and not willing to spend cash on players because they are content with finishing 10th-15th on the table then the EPL would be as dull as public tv
remember that the market needs money to be poured in to thrive otherwise it will collapse within itself
