'That can't be right' - Alan Shearer slams Premier League rules impacting Newcastle United and Aston Villa transfer business as clubs continue to 'exploit PSR loophole'

June 30 saw a lot of movement between Premier League clubs as they looked to finalise sales and purchases of players to make sure they complied with the league's Profit and Sustainability rules for the 2023-24 financial season, and Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer is not pleased with PSR harming upcoming challengers to the Premier League's modern big-six.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking to <a href="https://www.betfair.com/betting/football/uefa-euro-2024/c-12531088" target="_blank">Betfair</a>, Shearer said: "Obviously, Newcastle had to sell players because of PSR. I’m pleased they’ve done the business they’ve done, I’m pleased they didn’t sell Isak and Bruno."I know Anderson loved playing for Newcastle, but hopefully he’ll get more game time at Forest and he can show everyone how good he is. He’s a really good player."I think because of what Newcastle had to do and the timing of it, it’s been good business for them."Those PSR rules don’t sit easy with me. If Newcastle hadn't sold Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson, they would have had to sell one of their bigger players to one of the big clubs. What chance have you got? What message is that sending out? The rules just don’t sit comfortably with me at all."If you look at Newcastle and Aston Villa, they’re trying their very best to get near the big boys and challenge. Yet when they do, they have to sell players. Villa have had to sell Douglas Luiz to Juventus because of PSR. That can’t be right when a club is trying to challenge the big boys, and what they’ve got behind them as football clubs doesn’t sit easy with me."

WHAT SHEARER SAID

As per <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5611939/2024/07/03/psr-transfer-chelsea-aston-villa-newcastle/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>, in the ten days leading up to the June 30 PSR deadline, six Premier League clubs - Chelsea, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Everton and Leicester City - made deals to raise a reported £323 million ($410m) through the sale of 15 players, more than was raised during the entire January transfer window.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

With the PSR deadline now gone past, Premier League clubs will be free to make their deals as they want without having to worry about the immediate repercussions.
