The Premier League ‘s attempt to plug a loophole that prevents revenue from club property sales to affiliates from being included as profit in the financial statements has failed once again.
Last year, the Premier League proposed a draft of its financial rules to plug the loophole, but it fell short of the required 14 out of 20 teams.
At its annual meeting on Wednesday, the Premier League prepared to submit a new draft, in response to requests from some clubs, but it was shelved before it even got to the voting stage.
The แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ, a British media outlet, revealed that the Premier League clearly saw from the day before the meeting that it would not receive enough support, so there was no need to submit a vote.
The source added that some clubs feel that changing the rules now is a “locking the barn door after the horse has bolted” solution.
In addition, some clubs believe that since Chelsea have benefited from the loophole, they should have the right to do the same.
Chelsea sold their women’s team for £198.7m and two hotels worth £70.5m, helping the club to pass financial rules in the last two seasons.
The continental body UEFA has rejected the sale of assets to affiliates, and the Blues are in talks to pay a fine for breaching financial rules.
