đ¨ Does FFP actually protect the big clubs?
- Chelsea fined ÂŁ10m for 74 breaches, zero points deducted
- Everton docked 10 points for a breach a third of that size
- Forest lost 4 points for a ÂŁ34.5m breach, appeal rejected
- Man City's 115 charges have sat unresolved for 3.5 years
- City already beat a UEFA ban on appeal back in 2020
- Villa sold their women's team for ÂŁ55m just to stay legal
- Villa still fined ~ÂŁ20m by UEFA over that same deal
- Newcastle sold Minteh, Anderson, Isak, Tonali to stay compliant
- Howe admitted PSR, not football, drove some of those sales
- Smaller ambitious clubs losing players while big clubs stall
- Is FFP just protecting whoever can afford the longest fight?

Villa, Newcastle, Forest and Palace all recent stints in Europe.
Sales this summer of Rogers, Tielemans, Tonali, Bruno, Anderson and Lacroix.
Buying clubs Chelsea, United, City, Arsenal and Spurs (SKY 6)
The prem is a fix. The above all in a group who agreed to join a super league. One awaiting 100s of charges another a small fine for paying off agents.
Other clubs making up the numbers.

The Premier League PSR rules are about as fit for purpose as a chocolate teapot. Chelsea FC Holdings made a profit of ÂŁ128m in 23/24 after selling the womenâs team to itself. The parent company BlueCo 22 (which owns the menâs team, the womenâs team andâŚStrasbourg) made a loss of ÂŁ430m in the same period as cannot include intra group transactions in the group accounts. Richard Masters keeps a straight face and says Chelsea have not broken any rulesâŚbecause the rules on these types of deals are full of loopholes.
If I was Everton or Forest would be livid.
Aston Villa are the latest club to explore the possibility of selling their womenâs team to help comply with the Premier Leagueâs profitability and sustainability rules (PSR).
One source, speaking on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships, said Villa have been looking into a sale for the past 18 months, having recorded losses of ÂŁ195million over the past two years â leaving them in danger of breaching PSR.
Chelsea helped to balance the books by selling their womenâs team to the clubâs parent company in a move which generated a profit of nearly ÂŁ200m, paving the way for other Premier League clubs to consider a similar arrangement.

Energy bills increase by 10% today.
Back in 2022, @Keir_Starmer said @UKLabour wouldnât let this happen.
âWe have a fully-costed plan to freeze energy bills, so people wonât pay a penny more this winter.â
He lied. Again.
