Nothing sustainable about the profit rules

The Chronicle

|

September 08, 2025

CALL it what you will.

Financial Fair Play - the most ludicrous handle of them all - Profitability and Sustainability Rules, which is how the Premier League label it, or the Financial Sustainability Regulations of UEFA.

Whatever, I have another phrase to sum up football's killer straitjacket: not fit for purpose.

I mean, apart from all the other side effects we know only too well, any rule that forces a club to sell it's homegrown academy kids just to please authority and its so-called ‘fair play’ is shameful.

It's inevitably the local lads who are put up for auction, because they represent 100 per cent profit.
