Leeds United wants to rejoin the Premier League, but if they do, a lot will be observed regarding how much money they may spend.
This week, accusations were brought against Everton and Nottingham Forest for potential violations of the Premier League’s financial regulations. Everton has already received a 10-point deduction for the same offense this season and is awaiting an appeal of a prior charge related to the same offense.
The Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) are designed to encourage financial stability so that teams don’t ruin their futures by going overboard in their quest for greatness. The regulations stipulate a cap on losses that clubs are permitted to incur; clubs are not permitted to incur losses exceeding £105 during a three-year period.
Although the rules exist for the benefit of all clubs, some believe they prevent teams from breaking through in the Premier League and greatly assist the so-called “big six” in their efforts to maintain their dominance.
Shay Given, a former goalkeeper for Newcastle United, seems to think such way when he talked about his problems with PSR and the way the league’s financial regulations are laid out. He specifically mentioned Leeds United.
Given stated, “Look at Man City’s bench, De Bruyne came on,” when speaking on Radio 5 Live. Jack Grealish and Oscar Bobb didn’t even get along. When FFP wasn’t even a thing, I joined Man City. They went shopping and made their desired purchases.
