Jurgen Klopp believes the club's owner John W Henry was right to call for spending restrictions in the Premier League. The Reds chief sparked debate this week by claiming there should be additional limits on top flight spending so the division 'does not go the way of European leagues where one or two clubs annually have little competition.'
Newcastle, armed with their new-found wealth, would be one of the English clubs impacted by such changes as the Magpies attempt to try and disrupt the so-called 'Big Six' this season and beyond. Asked about Henry's comments on Friday, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe admitted he wouldn't want to see a cap on spending introduced going forward.
"I wouldn't want to see any more restrictions on spending," he told reporters. "We have spent money - don't get me wrong - but future restrictions would certainly deny our ability to improve as quickly as we want to."
