Have heard that Saudi clubs are looking at Fabio
Thank goodness
PSR has absolutely nothing to do with any owners external finances.
Every club has to keep spending below 90% of turnover this year 2023/4, 80% next year 2024/5, and 70% the year after that 2025/6. The spending includes the writing down of a player's transfer fee over a maximum of 5 years plus the player's wages.
Some clubs used to put their players on 8 year contracts and write the transfer fee off over 8 years, that isn’t allowed anymore. Those clubs budgets and financial planning have been hit hard.
All the Premier league clubs have a number of players on big wages and/or contracts that last longer than next year and the year after that.
So if you've got down to 90% this year you're going to have to cut costs for next year and the year after.
If you can't get rid of expensive surplus players off the books it's likely to cost you a 10 points deduction at least each year..
At the same time there have been limits imposed on the number of players that can be loaned out.
The above is the perfect recipe for a nightmare conundrum which can make some Agent or Club, that doesn't yet appreciate that the brakes have been applied to the gravy train, make what would previously have been a demand that would have been met, completely screw up a deal.
The TV deals also haven't even gone up by the level of inflation compared to the previous deal.
This is only if you are playing in Europe. At the moment, these are not part of the PL PSR. That might change, but hasn’t yet.
