The Football Association (FA) has intensified Financial Fair Play (FFP) probes, with at least five Premier League clubs under scrutiny for potential breaches.
The focus is on inflated sponsorship deals and excessive transfer spending, with Everton and Nottingham Forest previously fined for similar violations.
Sources indicate Manchester City faces renewed questions over related-party transactions, though the club denies wrongdoing.
The FA’s stricter stance aims to ensure sustainability, with new squad cost ratio rules set for 2026.
Clubs like Chelsea and Newcastle, who spent heavily in recent windows, are reportedly cautious, restructuring deals to comply.
Fans, like Liverpool supporter Tom Harris, express frustration on X, arguing FFP stifles ambition while favoring established giants.
Penalties could include points deductions or transfer bans, impacting title races and relegation battles.
The FA emphasizes transparency, but critics, including pundit Gary Lineker, call the rules ‘murky’ and inconsistent.
Clubs must submit financial reports by December 2025, with outcomes expected to shape the league’s competitive landscape.
