6 + 2 Point Deductions

I reckon they've just realised they can't afford either the scrutiny or cost that comes with hounding their own clubs.

It was over £100m last year in PL legal fees wasn't it, I bet they didn't expect it to be anywhere near this as clubs would just accept punishments. I reckon a few clubs will have had a quiet word to PL that they are not prepared to see their share of the cash reduced in this way again.

Let’s hope Dick Masters is out on his arse soon.

Good that we can just focus on football and not be worrying about court cases - ours or anyone else's.

That been said, just goes to show what a joke last season was and how inadequate the leadership at the Premier League is.

A tweet with a link to a times article.. I asked for official.

 

[Miked1e]

Still only the Times reporting it and other news outlets saying we are hearing... no official statement from the EPL yet.

Not that I am expecting anything..

Sorry, what qualifies as “official” to you exactly? Think you’re flogging a dead horse with this one if I’m honest mate.

he'll just be replaced with another stooge from the 'big clubs'

I like the way that when drawing up the rules the premier league apparently didn’t consider the prospect of teams being relegated and promoted .

Wonder if the Friedkins will go after the PL for previous PSR deductions? Can they? Is it even worth it?

Why would they ? The previous luvvie owners admitted they were guilty and accepted the deductions, not sure there's a case for Friedkin, maybe if the previous luvvies had been a bit more ruthless and didn't roll over to get their belly rubbed by Masters and co

beginning of the end of PSR IMO.

United bent the rules:



As did Forest by issuing 7.2 BILLION shares:

This is all above board. The level and amount wasn't until the rules changed about owners debt being exempt from calculations...so now they're upping everything to make the balance sheet look good.

Which is the issue with PSR. There's no solid foundations or rules. You pay a good accountant, you'll get round it.

This is why I can’t be mad at the entire thing, it can be managed appropriately with someone with smart financial acumen such as Chelsea, now now UTD and Forest.

PSR was meant to be a measuring stick, it’s difficult to use a measuring stick when another manufacturer can make a bigger stick.

We have/had absolutely useless financial people at Everton and got bummed for it, we got hit cos we were not smart. It does my head in - but that’s the facts, we didn’t even bother to fight dirty.
