Bigger clubs with the most money win most things. It was ever thus.
These rules do not prevent clubs joining the top table , they just mean that it has to be done in a sustainable way.
The rules allow some losses and investment in infrastructure to grow revenues, but this takes time and good decision making.
They just prevent you from spending £1bn on players, having massive unaffordable wage bills in the hope that you succeed and in the end, you become financially viable.
Look at Everton. Even without their FFP issues they spent +£0.5bn and got worse to the point that they're nearly relegated and are still looking for new investors. If they had gone down, God knows what mess theyd be in now.
City are the extreme example BUT they are very well structured and run. In a ruleless world not all clubs would be so well run as that, there'd be plenty of Everton type owners making a mess of things.
The rules are for the food of all because for every club that might benefit from massive spending and become a powerhouse, there would be clubs going the other and potentially into oblivion.

We are indeed well run, a 50% cut of the largest indoor music venue all year round, not limited to off season and the occasional gap. A 400 room hotel, 3k fan zone and attendance up to 61k all being built right now, the future looks rosey for us.
It only works for infrastructure properly if you are in a major city, the others have got no chance, favouritism again.
Leicester City In HUGE Trouble.

Chelsea will be next, they need to sell around £200m worth of home grown players to escape and there are bound to be other sanctions also
