Profit and Sustainability Rules. The Premier League's financial regulations that limit how much clubs can lose over a rolling three-year period - currently £105 million. Clubs that break the rules face points deductions, as Everton and Nottingham Forest found out in 2023-24. The rules are meant to stop clubs spending recklessly on transfers and wages, but critics point out they punish promoted clubs and favor established big six sides who generate more commercial revenue.
Everton were hit with a 10-point deduction in November 2023 for breaching PSR, dropping them into the relegation zone and sparking debates about whether the punishment fit the crime.
