The bending of PSR rules

[Dymak]

The PL are just providing a polite reminder of the rules in an attempt to prevent some clubs from getting carried away and engaging in obviously overinflated deals.

But none of these swap deals so far could be classified as being obviously overinflated. All of the deals appear to be within the realms of fair market value, so the PL aren’t really arsed and won’t do anything about it. In fact, I think they will be pleased about it, as it will save them the headache and expense of several PSR hearings.

However, if clubs start doing record breaking deals for completely unknown players, then they will intervene and investigate such deals.

What should a 21 year old former England youth international with lower league experience and 15 prem appearances and a goal to his name be worth?
In this market, I think 9 or 10m is not unreasonable.
He's not a bloody hotel!

You would think we had just done a £50m swap deal for Dobbin the way this is rumbling.

Look at the prices the RS, City and Chelseas youth have been going for the last 6/7 years and not a peep. There is no way they can determine fair market value of a player.

It's basically because swap deals are very rare in this country. They're commonplace in Italy but don't happen often here, and because it's 2 clubs sailing close to the PSR wind. Under Scudamore he would have had a quiet word with the Chief Exec of each club and told them not to do swap deals, then he would have informed the other clubs, and none of it would have made the papers.

When is Masters contract as chief executive up? He needs replaced.

On the club side, the Premier League will assess the “financial state and relative bargaining position” of the clubs involved and “any urgent need for liquidity” in the selling club.

And there we have it - corruption in plain sight.
Richard Masters is simply a puppet trying to maintain the status quo.
Quick call from Sir Jim Cheapskate and they publish this.

What an absolute joke, there is nothing here to suggest that either fee was inflated. They made the rules, clubs worked around/within them and the PL throw their toys out the pram.

Unbelievable isn’t it

 

[Infernus]

Storm in a tea cup this. They'll do nothing, lest it one day affect one of their favourite. A letter has been sent to make it seem like they are actually doing something, and that will be that

 

[Daytripper]

Ignore that slimy gorp Goldbridge, all the likes of him are interested in is interaction/engagement. The little snide is part of that social media grift.

One of the worst things to happen to social media is monetisation , it brings out the dregs to reel people in. Him and the likes of those two fake girls pretending to care about footy to promote their only fans. Horrible the lot of them.

Apathy is the way to go with these scumbags. It would destroy them.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

The other thing is this sort of thing regulates itself anyway, because you pay a 4% transfer levy to the PL for every transfer. So you're not going to inflate a 5m player to a 25m player or something silly, because it would cost you a million in levy. So you might go to the top end of reasonable value (as arguably us and Villa and us have done) but you're not going to go tonto.

It's also the reason you HAVE to apply a valuation to each player in a player swap, you can't register it as a straight swap even if you want to because then you'd circumvent the levy. So they simultaneously DEMAND you treat a swap as two transactions, but somehow don't like it when you do.

So let me get this straight. They will look at whether a club needs to sell a player to meet PSR. Then if they sell a player they'll be punished?

 

[Blue peter]

Not really anything to concern ourselves over….they maybbe more stringent checks going forward, but if there was anything to get away with (which there wasn’t) then we got away with it and there is nothing they can do about it hence the moaning and gesticulating. It’s actually nice to be in first before they close any perceived loophole. Normally we get there late and get done for it

But selling a hotel or training ground to yourself and inflated transfer to the Saudis is all above board ,the premier league are not even trying to hide there corruption

[matty1878]

we will probably be fined for this
