The profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) that have capped how much money clubs can spend over the last decade are set to be scrapped from the start of the 2025-26 season and replaced with a similar “squad cost control” rule to the one UEFA adopted in 2022.

It is said that the new rules will be similar to that of UEFA’s which will see clubs only allowed to spend a set percentage of their income on the wage bill as well as the full cost of transfer fees and agent fees. It is reported that for clubs in European competition, the limit will be 70 percent, while for clubs outside of Europe it will increase to 85 percent.

Surely having an income based percentage spend allowance would favor the big clubs?

Must be a huge disadvantage to teams like Luton with their income v Man United.

Interesting to see that Everton and Forest are still on the naughty step side, by roughly the amounts they overspent under PSR. Could this be a portent for the other clubs around them on that list...?
