You pay a bond upfront about 100 million to cover the cost in case you run into financial difficulties that would take place instead of squad costs and PSR and allow clubs to spend what they want

Exactly what I said a whole back. It's not rocket science

When I asked the question I highlighted some figures. £5m a week in wages is £250m per year excluding any other costs.
Even if we miraculously increase our revenue by 50%, a £100m bond would hold us together for a year, maybe. If players are on 3 year contracts, how does the club survive if we somehow can't flog the players to the big European giants or Saudi?
If we want to call ourselves a business, no business has unlimited investment to cover running costs, loans and equity funding are only really taken for capital investment.
The only real argument I could make for 'unlimited' spending is transfer fees that are directly paid by the owners and no payment plan through the club, wages still need to be capped at a percentage of revenue to protect the future.
