Why would clubs manage themselves properly if the easiest way to get ahead is to spend like crazy?

the reason for the penalty is to avoid what happened at Leicster. The board didnt run things properly and they nearly went out of business. But they cleared their debts and went straight up because they had a team they shouldnt have been able to afford.

Now if clubs are mismanaged they arent going to benefit from it and they have an incentive not to mess up.

Though I hate leeds and hope they go bankrupt in the summer because it would be hilarious to see them go straight down to division 2
Its not as if we didn't try to sell players though,hell even the fans favourite wa sold against everyones wishes(Matt Piper). Fact was that no-one else wanted anyone other than Izzet i guess but no bid was spoken of.
