A decision on whether to scrap the Premier League’s controversial profit and sustainability rules (PSR) and adopt an “alternative system” is “coming up”, says chief executive Richard Masters.<\/b><\/p>\n

The current regulations, introduced in 2015-16 to prevent clubs from overspending, allow losses of \u00a3105m over a three-year reporting cycle.<\/p>\n

However, they have been criticised by several top-flight teams for limiting their ability to invest.<\/p>\n

BBC Sport has been told a decision on any changes is likely to be made at a meeting in November.<\/p>\n

In February clubs chose to continue with PSR<\/a> for the current season.<\/p>\n

However a squad cost ratio (SCR) system of financial control was adopted by the Premier League on a shadowing, non-binding basis.<\/p>\n

SCR is similar to Uefa’s existing financial rules and allows clubs to spend up to a percentage of their total revenues on squad-related costs. <\/p>\n

Nine of the league’s 20 clubs already have to comply with Uefa’s SCR as a result of qualifying for Europe. Both Chelsea and Aston Villa were fined by Uefa in July for breaching the rules.<\/p>\n

Asked about SCR at the Leaders sports conference in London, Masters said: “We are talking to our clubs about an alternative system. That’s not to say we don’t think the PSR system works.”<\/p>\n

He added: “It’s about closer alignment with European regulation, which is squad cost ratio, which is a revenue test. In Uefa, it’s now set at 70%. Our system will be 85% because we always want our clubs to have the ability to invest.<\/p>\n

“The Premier League has been built on the back of investment in which international capital flows [are] coming in. We don’t want that to be to be stifled off.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A decision on whether to scrap the Premier League’s controversial profit and sustainability rules (PSR) and adopt an…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":273687,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[221,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-273686","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115308445594760109","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273686\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
