The Premier League clubs to be charged with PSR breaches for latest 3 year period – Report | OneFootball

Tuesday morning had been flagged up as when we would hear which Premier League clubs would be charged with PSR breaches for the latest three year period.

That three year period covering the 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons.

All Premier League clubs had to submit their 2023-24 accounts to the Premier League by the 31 December 2024, at the latest.

Now on Tuesday morning, it is The Times with the exclusive.

As so happens with these stories on finances of Premier League clubs and inside info, it is Martyn Ziegler, Chief Sports Reporter on The Times, who has the scoop.

He reports that no Premier League clubs have been charged with PSR breaches for this latest three season accounting period.

However, he points out that Leicester City are still at risk. pending the outcome of their ongoing legal case.

Martyn Ziegler stating:

‘The club are still involved in a legal dispute with the league over its jurisdiction relating to the 2022-23 season and that has to reach a conclusion before any new charges can be brought. Leicester won the initial case in September but the league has appealed.

All other top-flight clubs have been declared to be compliant after submitting their 2023-24 accounts before the December 31 deadline.

The Premier League said in a statement: “Issues as to the jurisdiction of the Premier League over Leicester City Football Club in relation to PSR compliance are currently the subject of confidential arbitration proceedings.

In September, Leicester won a legal challenge on the basis that the Premier League did not have jurisdiction after they had been relegated in 2023. The club said they had identified “flaws” in the Premier League rules.’

Newcastle United were of course forced into the emergency sales of Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh before their 30 June 2024 accounting deadline, in order to ensure they stayed the right side of PSR for this latest three year period.
