Hopefully and hopefully Newcastle have a few billions worth in.
Am I right in saying PL clubs like us can seek compensation from the PL for any deals unfairly ruled out by the PL since Dec 2021?
I'd guess that the Premier League will have to amend the rules and the clubs can vote to accept the changes.The clubs cannot vote on APT rules as to do so is a breach of public law. Any club that votes to keep will face significant claims for compensation.

The interest free shareholder loans is interesting. Wasn't their exclusion from PSR is unlawful? So if they don't add the full amounts into the PSR calculations then it could trigger another court case. For Arsenal that's £259m and for Brighton it's £373m. Chelsea Leicester and Bournemouth are all north of £115m. Leicester must hate the Premier League anyway, and Aston Villa will also feel aggrieved, so i just can't see the required number of clubs voting to keep the cartel protected.
Surely they can’t just add those amounts in now though as they weren’t in the rules then? The rules were simply unlawful so all those punished or forced to sell players to comply with an unlawful rule are going to be after compensation.I'd guess that the Premier League will have to amend the rules and the clubs can vote to accept the changes.

The Premier League thinks it can just walk this one off, but city are burrowing further and further towards their nucleus.
While the loans look high if you add an assumed base rate of interest of 5% is about 12.5m for Arsenal. Not sure what their PSR figures look like but not insurmountable for them I'd imagine. Everton on the other hand have £451m in loans, so about £22.5m annual and they were already running close to/overstepping the line in recent times.
If that's back dated to 2021 when the rule were enforced they could find themselves in hot water come accounts season next summer...
They will turn the loans into shares to avoid it.
It’s all still as clear as mud but looks unlikely to benefit us much. The issue with shareholders loans at many clubs will be very interesting though and could hit them which indirectly benefits us.
Probably helps level the playing field financially if nothing else
