Overview
- Top-flight clubs will decide on Nov. 21 whether to replace PSR with new controls, including a Top-to-Bottom Anchoring model and an 85% Squad Cost Ratio.
- Anchoring would cap each club’s spend on wages, amortised transfers and agent fees at five times the bottom club’s central payout, which would have been roughly £550m last season.
- PFA chief Maheta Molango says the cap cannot be imposed unilaterally and would face legal challenges, with the union retaining Nick De Marco KC.
- Manchester City, Manchester United and Aston Villa are expected to oppose anchoring, and the outcome of the vote remains uncertain.
- Draft sanctions include a six-point deduction for a second breach of the cap plus an extra point for every £6.5m overspent.
