Summary

It’s the initialism on many people’s lips as the transfer window rages on. PSR, profit and sustainability rules: what are they good for? Miguel Delaney and Tariq Panja join John Brewin to pick through the weeds of surrounding what is, in reality, a rather a dry financial regulation covering accountancy to stop clubs spending beyond their means. Though, of course, as it’s modern football, where self-interest rules, it can never be that simple. Can there really be such a thing as financial fair play? Are the scales weighted to serve established elite? Why can’t everybody spend what they want?

0:31.4	we're doing well in the charts.
0:33.5	As an independent,
0:34.9	we're still challenging the big guns.
0:36.4	So we're sort of in that process of the old indie charts
0:39.3	where someone like Ride or the Wonder stuff.
0:41.8	We're just outside the top 10.
