I interpret that as to meaning the previous two seasons for the PSR period 25/26. You can't change the rules for a PSR period thats already been completed, surely? Especially if the clubs the rules are being imposed on haven't agreed to it, being as current EFL clubs have voted it in. Sounds like the grounds for another messy legal battle, if that is what they mean.

Just them actually implementing their made up rules that we proved they had no jurisdiction to enforce when we were last in the champtionship. The only way it becomes a problem is if we breach PSR for this season.

We didn't breach PSR when we were in the championship, that is the only thing that is certain. If we had we would have been charged this season and had a points deduction as a premier league club, so wouldn't have affected next season anyway.

The recent finances don’t matter. We compiled in the season we were in the Championship, so they can’t punish us for that. The transfer embargo was due to the assumption we’d breach, when we didn’t. There maybe yet ramifications from the 22/23 season when we got off on those loopholes, but it still remains to be seen if the EFL has the authority enforce any punishment.

Percy says no break clause…

Competing against Brentford and Fulham is not even an option for us anymore. The gap between the Premier League and the Championship is huge and has caused a closed shop to anyone outside of the top 17. This is where the disappointment is, that we have fallen out of the top 17 clubs in England and it is highly likely we will never get back even to that level, never mind top 6 and major silverware challenging. Those days are long gone and those who have overseen this have not taken any accountability for this decline.

I obviously don’t know, but it is a known fact we are in arbitration with the Premier League. Could be the case that the EFL won’t consider action until that is resolved one way or the other, as it isn’t clear who can enforce any punishment. Either way 22/23 probably isn’t done. EDIT, obviously Sheff United was nothing to do with FFP either. Something to do with not paying transfer fees while they were a Championship club, if I remember correctly.

Surely depends if the Football League believe they have the authority to dish out a punishment to us on the basis we argued we were not a Premier League club when the breach occurred. The recent Athletic article on the Premier League closing the loopholes we exploited claim that that the Football League are ready to take action when we get relegated. Whether they legally can remains to be seen, however the point being I don’t think anyone can confidently say the 22/23 breach is done and dusted.

Yes, please.

Sounds like we will hear something soon. Setting up for a departure?

I remember this too. I also remember after the game my Dad decided to go to a chip shop on Narborough Road. While he was in there the United team bus pulled up outside and the majority got off and went inside. Unfortunately I had decided to say in the car, but my Toddler sister had great fun with interacting with a number of players, who surely would have gone on to be household names. Like you said, pretty sure Beckham played that night along with Scholes, Butt and the Nevilles.

If he has been sacked why is he staying on to ensure a smooth transition for the new guy? Sounds like working your notice, as you have a new job to me. Not saying its with us either, could be 2+2 = 5.
