  1. PSR is about commercial income. If your supporters in the US aren’t buying anything, you will have trouble no matter how rich your owner is.

    PSR was put in place at the heed of the American capitalists to grow the game on one level.

  2. This is a weak excuse for having a bad strategy – they spent beyond their means and had to sell academy players to balance their books. If they had managed their squad better, this wouldn’t be required.

    Interesting how everyone complaining about PSR has rich sugar daddies who could spend their way out of trouble.

  3. Why keep an academy player when anything you sell them for is considered 100% profit?

  4. Club overspends and balances it by selling youth. How is that anyone else’s fault but their own?

  5. I’m actually curious who they sold that they didn’t want to? Elliot Anderson is the only one I can see but they sold him for £35m which is insane money.

    Ultimately they splurged tons of cash and the clubs agreed to these rules so I really think it’s the clubs who are at fault more. Clubs need to plan more.

  6. Market incentives working as intended to the benefit of the English talent pool 

  7. “Promotes selling players the club have developed” could also read “Encourages clubs to develop players.”

  8. Booohooo Saudi-backed club can’t spend their money and do what they like. Go cry me a river
