I don’t think today’s ruling goes that far.
Basically all it states is that the league you are in on the final day of your accounts is the one that can bring the charges. In most cases that will be the “new” league as most clubs FY end is June 30.
So for example Leicester were a PL club again on June 30 2024 so could be charged by the PL for the three year period up to that date. I don’t think Leicester get to have it both ways.
They could still get a deduction this season (as could all 20 clubs).
Their breach was for the cycle up to June 23. The same cycle we were in breach of and received a 8 point deduction. They were a PL club for all that cycle.
The PL didn’t have jurisdiction to do anything in the 23/24 in the EFL and commission ruled today, they don’t have any jurisdiction to do anything 24/25.
Conversely a separate EFL commission found that the EFL didn’t have jurisdiction to look for a business plan from them last Spring.
Essentially and clearly means that the rules can’t be applied for all those competing, amongst the 20 PL clubs and the Championship.
If a precedent has been set that the PL don’t have Jurisdiction over the EFL how can it apply EFL PSR thresholds in the PL.
It even calls into question the integrity of the EFL - if I was getting relegated - I’d spend a fortune from May - June 30th and make sure I came straight back up - absolutely no consequences.
If I was Burnley and Leeds I’d be dropping 150 mill in the championship in Jan to make sure I came up with no consequence.
Essentially it’s one rule for one competing club and different rules for other competing clubs,
