Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, are set to cast their votes on the potential introduction of rules that would cap spending on playing squads. On November 21, the clubs will decide on top-to-bottom anchoring (TBA), a rule that would limit a club's spending on its squad to five times the smallest central Premier League broadcasting and prize money payout.

While they're in the Premier League, these clubs generally support the idea as it narrows the gap with the top clubs. He would certainly consider introducing TBA if the Premier League were to adopt it.

The SCR would bring Premier League clubs more in line with UEFA regulations and has been trialled in shadow form since the start of the previous season. The Premier League's proposal is to introduce a limit of 85 percent for those not participating in European competition.
