6 + 2 Point Deductions

Agree the loans will cease to be a liability upon the takeover and will be removed from the balance sheet.

I don’t think we definitively can say the historic treatment of the cost of those loans won’t be looked at again though. If the PL determine they must be fair value priced from date X, it would be unwise to assume they won’t backdate that too. I don’t believe this is consistent with industry accounting standards but the PL have shown themselves to be a law onto themselves.

There's absolutely no way the Premier League will change the rules, which I might add needs to be voted on and agreed by the majority, and then back date them to catch clubs out.

They'd find themselves in court defending another legal case which they would categorically lose.
