There absolutely are limits on how much can be spent. That’s why Man City is under investigation of 100+ charges for violating FFP, financial fair play, rules.

Even the Yankees were deemed unbeatable because the power of their checkbook, yet they haven’t won the World Series since 2009 (according to quick search. I don’t follow baseball). So the big purse isn’t always the thing people make it to be. Sure it helps, but no guarantees. Otherwise, moneyball wouldn’t have been a thing

They are under investigation posteriori, they should've been stopped apriori acquiring top players for large sums of money.

I do not accept that premise at all. You make it sound like they discovered it was wrong after the fact rather than knowing the rules before making the decision. That's some serious white washing

[mrkramer]

My intention was preventing the abuse of financial power e.g. put price controls on player acquisitions so Manchester City or PSG are not allowed to pay €100M for a new player while other clubs can't afford top players or rising stars. It would disturb the football industry at first but you can make that policy dynamic or in another words limits change as the macro climate in the football industry changes.

Isn't that what MLS does, and isn't MLS the league exactly nobody watches? Well, okay, maybe not nobody, but yeah.
