Keep flying the flag Kieran. Masters out. Remove the monopoly.
It’s not just the “Big 6”, non aspirational mid / low table teams can form a barrier from any lower tier aspiring clubs.
Without pressure & intervention we are heading towards a closed shop with no relegations.
The Premier League PSR rules are about as fit for purpose as a chocolate teapot. Chelsea FC Holdings made a profit of £128m in 23/24 after selling the women’s team to itself. The parent company BlueCo 22 (which owns the men’s team, the women’s team and…Strasbourg) made a loss of £430m 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 rules…because the rules on these types of deals are full of loopholes.
If I was Everton or Forest would be livid.
