Premier League Keeps PSR Loophole After Failed Vote
The Premier League has not closed a loophole in its Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) that allows clubs like Chelsea to sell assets such as hotels and their women's team to related companies, registering these as profits to comply with financial regulations. At the annual meeting, a proposal to ban such related-party transactions from PSR income was not put to a vote due to insufficient support, with many clubs opposing a rules change after Chelsea had already benefited. The loophole remains open, permitting similar asset sales at fair market value, though UEFA does not recognize these transactions for European financial compliance. Chelsea is in discussions with UEFA over a potential settlement for breaching European financial rules. The PSR system will stay unchanged for at least another season, continuing to limit spending for clubs like Manchester United, Newcastle, and Aston Villa. Additionally, Manchester City's ongoing legal challenge against other financial regulations has made clubs hesitant to overhaul the PSR framework.
