Premier League close 'capital assets' loophole and replace PSR | OneFootball

Premier League clubs have voted to replace PSR and exclude the sale of capital assets from available allowances.

Previously, clubs had been able to both sell their women's teams and assets like hotels which would allow for further spending under previous profit and sustainability rules (PSR). However, this will not be an option going further with the new squad cost ratio closing that loophole and limiting squad costs to 85% of footballing revenue.

Clubs who violate these new rules, which come into place for the 2026/27 season, can either be fined or given points deductions.

According to reporting from The Guardian, Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford, Crystal Palace, Fulham, and Leeds are the clubs who voted against the new rules which passed 14 to 6.

There was more dissent over the proposed top-to-bottom anchoring which would have added a hard cap to spending with a result of 12 clubs against, seven in favour, and one abstaining.

The calendar for next season has also shifted slightly with a later start time and the return of a full complement of Boxing Day games.
