This would not be an unreasonable measure IF it weren’t for the fact that we have clubs owned by sovereign nations that are able to easily absorb tens of billions in additional taxes.
I like it as a punitive measure to go along with points deductions.

As the EPL is the richest league in Europe, any hard cap would still exceed any other country’s league payroll and there is no danger of flight whatsoever.

We can almost certainly guess where this ridiculous proposal came from and who is supporting it.

Nba wealth tax American idea. Club struggling with FFP owed by American owners. Where could this idea come from?

I actually like a fixed scale of point deductions based on how far over the FFP limit a club is that increases progressively for second- and third-years.
All deductions to be determined in the off season based on last year’s results.

Deductions should be punitive enough that a single deduction would ruin a team’s chance of becoming champions or, for a bottom half team, put them in serious jeopardy of relegation.

Premier League will not scrap points deductions despite criticism​

Controversial spending breach penalties, as suffered by Everton and Nottingham Forest, are set to remain as clubs vote on new rules for 2025-26 season, including as salary cap proposal

The Premier League is set to keep points-deduction penalties for breaches of the financial rules but is considering having a tariff that would impose only fines on clubs for lesser offences.
The new system, which would run alongside a new “squad cost rule” that limits spending, would come into force for the 2025-26 season if approved at the Premier League clubs’ summer meeting in June.
The league’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) have been criticised by Everton and Nottingham Forest after both clubs were deducted points for going over the fiscal limit, which allows for £105 million in losses over a three-year period.
There have also been questions as to why Forest were given only a four-point deduction despite having a larger breach than Everton, who had an initial ten-point deduction reduced to six on appeal.
Unlike the Football League, the Premier League clubs had decided not to have a fixed tariff of sanctions but to leave that decision to an independent commission — which is what happened in the cases of Everton and Forest.

The Premier League is looking at a proposal for a salary-cap model, called “anchoring”, which would make the amount any team can spend on wages linked to the amount of TV money paid to the lowest-placed club. For example, if the bottom club received £100 million, the maximum any club could spend on wages and transfers would be a multiple of that — possibly 4.5 times as much.
The league is also likely to mirror Uefa’s “squad cost rule”, under which clubs are allowed to spend only a fixed percentage of revenue on wages and transfers. Uefa is working towards a 70 per cent limit but it would be 85 per cent in the Premier League.
The votes on the new rules may result in another split between clubs who want tighter spending regulations and those who favour a free market.

There we go. I said that Mail report was a retort against a salary cap.

Squad cost rules (which any serious club will have to budget for) and anchoring would be a nice blend of carrot and stick.

Not a huge fan of anchoring without rules on ticket prices/ tv. It may improve competitiveness of the league but will mean owners keep increasing their prices and taking the money for themselves, would rather players get paid than that.

Who is getting points deducted this week?

I stick by my previous comment, ridiculous and chaotic to do this mid season

The alternative is clubs getting points for next year. It could mean clubs who played by the rules being relegated in place of those who didn't. Until there is near real time monitoring and we need to wait on published accounts this is the least worst option imo.
