And even the Financial Fair Play regulations are nowhere close to the measures common in most American sports, like salary caps. They’re mostly intended as a speed bump for foreign oil magnates and Red Bull throwing all their money into their clubs and automatically winning everything.

Not even that, it's to prevent clubs going bankrupt all the time.

Without rules, every club is going to invest huge sums betting on achieving a top result that would give return on investment, and only a few can achieve that each year.

Investors throwing lots of money at the sport is a feature, not a bug, from the viewpoint of the people involved in the sport. So by itself that doesn't need to be prevented.

Sadly aren't even succeeding at that given City's 115 charges (dating back to 2008!) and various clubs with their self-sponsorship shenanigans.

That’s how some people drive over speed bumps!
