Independent commission rules that the Premier League does not have the authority to charge them with an alleged breach of PSR between 2019 and 2023, as the accounting period ended on 30th June 2023, which "came after the point the club had ceased to be a member of the League"

Nothing surprises me nowadays, possible silver lining though - bad news for the Red Dogs, massive points deduction even at this early stage may have been difficult to claw back.

It tells you enough about football nowadays when a good team of lawyers is just as important as a good or keeperstriker.

Still on FFP, Chelsea have  just made 6M on a young winger in a year who has never played for the club. he spent last year on loan at Strasbourg and was bang average by all accounts and they just sold him to a $audi club. It turns out that a few players surplus to requirements head that way, Kante, Mendy , Koulibali also well ended up there for reasonable transfer fees. Purely by coincidence Clearlake capital who own Chelsea, also manage a lot of $audi capital.

When QPR, Leicester, Bournemouth and Watford got promoted whilst breaching the EFL's FFP regulations, the EFL asked the EPL to confirm that they would help them carry out whatever punishment the EFL Tribunal decided should be awarded against those clubs, the EPL said it was nothing to do with them as they hadn't breached any EPL regulations. This left the EFL having to negotiate reduced penalties with all but QPR, even then after years of legal threats and wranglings. All because the EPL refused to have an integrated FFP system with the EFL.

So this problem is entirely of the EPL's own making. I hope it costs them tens of millions in legal fees over the next few years, the blood-sucking, pyramid-destroying w**kpots.

I should also have said that, once again, a football body may have to change it's rules to plug a breach by Leicester City FC that the club itself was not punished for (the first one being the introduction of automatic points deductions for clubs going into administration in 2004).

Leicester may have dodged this one but Masters and the PL have them in their sights now so don't be surprised if they start getting the wrong end of some contentious decisions now....

You don't upset the cartel and get away with it.

The Premier League is a corrupt show but it's the only show in town unfortunately.
