The bending of PSR rules

is selling Godfrey and Dobbin enough or do we need to do more today to be in the clear??
Well, that is the big question. I think the answer is, nobody knows except the club. My personal view is that we are likely still a bit short given the massive loss of 89.1 million pounds for 2022-2023. How much of that ties to PSR is unclear. Assuming we retain Onana and Branthwaite, at least past 30 June, it would not surprise me if the club is looking for a smaller deal to get done today to get in alignment with PSR, otherwise I think there may be a small risk of a point deduction, but that is conjecture to be fair as I do not believe any reports have identified the true numbers.
 
The cartel tried this a few years ago, they wanted final say on PL rule changes and the TV revenues not split evenly but in their favour.They said exactly what that inios rat was saying.

They got swerved and tried to sink the league by joining the ESL.

This will continue untill they get their way, it's all about money

This is clearly what their intentions are

A two tier league. With what they say, goes.

The club’s position is yes
The PL’s position is no

The capitalisation question that was raised and not answered by the last committee would mean that we need an extra 40 million (so if we sell DCL for 35 assuming BG’s fee had us well over the line, then we’d be covered in either eventually).

You should add however. That commentators on football finance have stated

That the restated accounts followed IAS practice/procedure

So the Premier League are actually objecting to internationally recognised accounting practice. Their success in their objections is believed to be low. Because of this fact.
 

I find it hard to envisage circumstances where eventually multiple clubs engage in legal action against the PL. That will surely be inevitable when charges and sanctions are applied selectively and without consistency. There has to be independent regulation.

It may be a good thing if if forces non big-six clubs into co-operation and loose alliance forming. It seems to me that the two groups of PL clubs, the six and the fourteen, are being pulled apart more than ever before, at the bidding of the six, and the logical outcome of that is a split.

But both sides need each other. People say there is no product without the six, but there is none without the fourteen others either.

I hope the Friedkins and others call their bluff on this. Neither they, nor anyone else would come near us if they thought the PL in its current form, was in any danger of being no more.

Let Ratcliffe and Co. moan and make their veiled threats. If they want a big six league, they can play each other home and away, six times a year. The winner can play a tournament on the moon.
