Can't help but have zero sympathy if true.

Broke EFL ffp rules to get promoted before their title season.
Broke EFL psr rules during their recent stint in the championship. Freed on a technicality.

Shouldn't need to disregard rules to get ahead.
 
Kieran McGuire said there's a PL side that doesn't wear red that is likely to fail and cop points deductions. Would be a killer blow for Wolves if its them. Based on their desperate sales and lack of investment in the squad that's the most likely contender.

Couldn't he exclude a few other colors? White & Blue would help if they were ruled in or out haha

New hearing about to take place on the legality of the APT rules clubs voted on a month or so ago.

Decision in February.

Still unsure why the league put the rules to a vote before the tribunal had advised on what was going to be legal and what wasn't.

Seems like we're going back to the tribunal to challenge the amendments to the APT rules voted on recently.

We still think the rules are unlawful. The league think they are.
 



Premier League clubs will have the option to vote through new financial rules on Thursday despite the threat of legal action from the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) if they do so.

The 20 top-flight teams will gather for a meeting in central London to discuss, and potentially vote on, a new system to replace the existing profitability and sustainability rules (PSR).

Two new mechanisms are under consideration. The first, squad cost rules (SCR), would limit clubs to spending no more than 85 per cent of revenue on squad-related costs – similar to the approach already taken at European level by Uefa, where clubs will be limited to spending 70 per cent of revenue on squad costs from next season.

The second, top-to-bottom anchoring (TBA), would effectively create a hard spending cap by limiting squad-related spending to five times the amount received in central league income by the Premier League’s bottom club.



Clubs are set to abandon PSR, which has led to points deductions for Everton and Nottingham Forest in recent seasons and been credited with reining in spending.


Will replace PSR/FFP if it gets through. PFA are threatening legal action.
 
Implications from the decision.

That means that any deals that were rejected or reduced in value under the system, which operated between December 2021 and November 2024, could now be subject to hefty compensation claims.

So the premier league (in effect it's member clubs) potentially liable to pay compensation. I have no idea if this is the case, but if Everton or Forest had deals rejected or reduced and that had an impact on their PSR cases they could be due millions.

We'll obviously be looking for a fair chunk of compensation as well.


the Premier League may now have to foot not only its own legal bill, but also City’s. The figure of both combined is thought to be close to £20m.

Again, when they say the premier league they mean the member clubs. Given the outcome I would presume the league will be paying the bulk of the £20m.

In it, he acknowledged that the ‘previous rules as a while are void and unenforceable’ but attempted to play down the development.

‘The previous APT rules are no longer in place,’ he said, ‘and new rules were voted into force’

So the position of the league is that the previous rules are null and void, but the new rules voted for a few months ago are valid and enforceable.

These rules are the ones our latest case is about.

I wonder how many more **** ups Richard Masters has to be involved with before the clubs take action.

Can we have our points back?
