Leicester feud with Premier League over spending rules could spill into next year

There appears to be really simple solution to PSR across the Prem and EFL, if clubs break PSR they face a fine that is double for every pound over, the monies raised from those fines are then distributed between the clubs that do not breach.

So if clubs like Man Utd, Chelsea, Newcastle Man City etc pay fines of 80-100 million pounds each season those who stay within the guidelines are quids in. The same applies to the Championship and would massively help out those lower down within the league.

PSR under its current guise will kill the Premiere League as a world wide force.

I think the first thing that needs to be done is to get a clear idea as to what PSR is supposed to achieve and whether the law is effective.

If it is supposed to ensure that clubs are sustainable, then either a points deduction, which could easily lead to relegation and hefty losses, or a straight forward financial punishment, that further assaults the clubs finances, seems pretty daft. How does either help the situation? It's a bit like chopping someone's arm off as a cure for biting their nails.

Technically that would work.

It's the same as everyone else - book losses do not directly equate to PSR losses.

Women's team costs and youth team costs, for example, are excluded from the PSR calculation (on a separate note, I'm wondering if Goldings transfer fee is classed as youth team costs for us, and therefore not included in PSR calculations).

Where other teams have a right to feel aggrieved with Man Utd getting away with it is they were allowed to record much higher covid losses than everyone else due to a supplier failing or something.

It's all a load of bollocks though with more holes than a sieve and the sooner it is gone, the better.
