Villa tabled an increase of the 105m limit to around 145m I believe, it was voted down 16-4.
There is some very perverse voting groups and alliances working in the background.
Interestingly though the cartel used to control the prem and pretty much all votes when Scudamore was in charge passed unanimously as the self interests of all 20 owners were met by the rule changes.
However, it's clear that as the Cartel have become more aggressive in their interference of the 'challenger clubs' to keep them under the boot by pushing Masters and his shills to bring the City Charges and punish Everton & Forest, plus their botched effort to penalise Leicester too, the vote has been split and alliances are now being formed along differing lines.
The mid-table also rans, the Brentfords, Fulhams, Wolves, Palace etc they will continue to fall in line with the Cartel to ensure their breadwinners keep buying their players at premium prices and keep them happily in mediocrity.
Villa, Everton, Forest and Us have woken up to the fact that City are being scapegoated and punished to make an example to 'us Nuevo riche' clubs to stay in your place.
PSR does nothing for those clubs with ambition and a desire to challenge the establishment. Fulham, Brentford, West Ham have no intention of every trying to make a title challenge or a serious tilt for regular Champions League participation so as far as the owners of these clubs are concerned 'We don't have to spend more money to keep our place in the Prem and cream off delicious juicy (credit Jacob Murphy) dividends on the yearly.
There will be more legal challenges by clubs taking the unlawful rules to arbitration. Furthermore, I can see fans groups becoming more active and as they aren't bound by Premier League clubs contracted rules can bring legal action against the likes of the Premier League & the PGMOL in open court cases.
The last thing the Prem crooks want, their rock turned over and their dirty little secrets brought out into the light as they try ti scuttle away back under another dirty rock of corruption.
