Gary Neville has called for the Premier League to change the current Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) to prevent clubs. From selling young homegrown talent. The current
PSR rules state that any fee received from the sale of academy players is considered real accounting profit. And has led to clubs looking to make a profit on the sale of their homegrown talent. The latest case was Manchester
United’s sale of Scott McTominay to Napoli on deadline day. And Erik ten Hag has since confirmed he does not want to sell the Scotland midfielder.
Neville also feels the Premier League needs to intervene to prevent clubs being forced to sell their best academy products. “I think it’s been a bizarre transfer window,”
Neville told ทางเข้า ufabet Sports. “I think the PSR is starting to be used more in the Premier League now. And that’s why we’re seeing clubs, including Manchester United, selling players they probably don’t want to sell. “
The PSR is not designed to make it easier for clubs to sell their best academy players. But that’s what we’re seeing. So something has to change dramatically over the next 12 months in terms of the rules. “
I also think Newcastle should be able to invest in the team. The PSR needs to change again so that the owners can invest. So that Newcastle can reach the same level as Manchester City and other clubs. “
We can’t just look at the club and say ‘you can’t invest’. What we have to do is look at the safety and sustainability of the club. “
That means the owners may have to invest in the long term, but you can’t keep Newcastle and now we’re preventing them.”
