The bending of PSR rules

[matty1878]

United want Branthwaite on the cheap, we won’t allow it so United have gone crying unfair to the media

for the media to say we’re holding him back from furthering his career etc?

No that they can’t prize a talent from a financially struggling side for the price they want, and that nasty little Everton are trying to bully them into paying an ‘unrealistic’ price

This is precisely what is going on

Aren't Utd trying to take advantage of PSR by such a lowball offer for Branthwaite. Balls to 'em

Yes, and this is the response

They're using media proxies to attack us indirectly as we've neutralised them

So they're whinging now

We are bending the rules because they have retroactively enforced them instead of establishing clear laws and being transparent with them. They forced our hand. Not much we can do.

What were we doing when we sold Ellis Simms last summer or Tom Cannon?

We've broken or bent absolutely no rules.

Pete, the PL have signed off on the deals already, its a non story.

The reason there's a fuss is because we've effectively swapped a player with Villa and it mutually benefits PSR. The players we sold last year were for cash. Personally I think the valuations are fair, as will the Premier League if they bother investigating which I doubt they will. However they don't want clubs swapping all their players to get round the "spirit" of psr. Although as people have pointed out you are only delaying the amortisation.

Chelsea sell a hotel to themselves to get round PSR = fine.

Everton sell a player to another club for less than what big 6 teams sell their unwanted dross players to other teams for and they kick off and the premier league start talking about monitoring transfers ......

Disgusting.

I don't get how a club is acting in good faith whilst selling a hotel to themselves to get round PSR. Yet they're allowed to.

@TimesSport


NEW: The Premier League is monitoring player transfers that could be used to exploit a loophole in its spending rules to ensure they do not breach regulations about clubs acting in good faith.

 

[Blue peter]

Are the Premier League monitoring that as well?

Not only that…but I’m sure they’ve bugged my house
