Which clubs are restricted by PSR in the January Transfer Window? - part 2

What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Paranoid

In yesterday’s blog on Profitability and Sustainability (PSR) I explained how the regulations work and looked at the position of the first ten clubs (alphabetically) in the Premier League.

The objective of this exercise is to see which clubs will be restricted in the January transfer window by PSR and which ones have headroom to spend.

Today’s article will complete the analysis for the remaining ten clubs, ranging from Leicester City to Wolverhampton Wanderers, followed by a neat overview at the end of the piece.

So grab yourself a large coffee and get stuck in!

Individual Clubs (continued)

Leicester City

Leicester’s issues with PSR have been widely documented. Indeed, the EFL said that its financial reporting unit had concluded that the Foxes are likely “to breach the profitability and sustainability loss limits for the three-year period ending with financial year 2023/24”.

It’s quite difficult to forecast Leicester financials, as they were relegated from the Premier League to the Championship at the end of 2022/23, exacerbated by the fact that the previous season covered 13 months, but we have had a go, mainly by looking at the accounts from other recently relegated clubs.
