Borehamwood, who probably have a turnover of less than £500,000, could spend £900,000. On the other hand we could have a turnover of over £3,000,000 but only be able to spend the same £900,000. What happens to the other £2,000,000 plus?
It’ll be folded and tucked in nicely within the owner(s) back pocket.

This cap would be all too easy to circumvent anyway. What would stop the next Paul Mullin we buy from making a ‘special’ appearance in Deadpool 3 or his wife from making shedloads whilst holding down some illegitimate job role? The club’s creative accountant would be on overtime!
