I’m not sure if I am alone with this opinion but I am getting fed up with the endless articles about us having to sell our best players to satisfy PSR.
It feels like we have been trying to conform since Ancelotti left. Selling a world class footballer in Rodriguez was a massive blow to football lovers, only to get hit with multiple points deductions years later.
An accountancy game within a sport is favouring the tourist clubs and defeats the object of meaningful competition.
As a club, we should take a stance and not conform. I would rather see Branthwaite, Onana, Garner, Calvert-Lewin and Pickford all develop with us and not have to artificially sell earlier than we have to.
What’s the worst that can happen? I would rather get another points deduction and watch young quality footballers than surrender them at a cheap price to a new super Scabby Six club.
We can’t rely on government regulation as I don’t think that will happen anytime soon.
We have proven this season the points deduction has galvanised the fan base, manager and players.
It’s about time the other 14 stood up to the Scabby Six.
