Championship play-off winners, Hull City - despite winning over £200 Million pounds for defeating Middlesbrough in dramatic fashion - are deemed to be breaking the Premier League's profit & sustainability rules.
The newly promoted Premier League side are facing PSR breaches with the club needing to sell multiple players this month.
PSR is the Premier League's version of UEFA's FFP (Financial Fair Play) and is in place to ensure that clubs don't spend beyond their means.
Football clubs can only lose a certain amount of money over three years.
The current amount over three years is £105 million, but the Premier League are set to change this rule ahead of the 2026/27 season to a squad-cost-ration system.
We have seen similar PSR breaches in the past with Everton, Nottingham Forest and Leicester City most notably.
All three clubs faced a severe points deduction.
Hull City owner, Acun Ilicali admitted to fans earlier this month about the situation: “We have overspent and we have to sell some players before 1 July.
“I’m not afraid. We have managed harder things. For us, this is more manageable.
“Now we are a Premier League team, the values has raised up which is a good advantage.”
The East Yorkshire club have an overspend - reportedly - of around £6 million on their profit and sustainability calculation.
Under current English football rules that could lead to the six-point deduction Everton and Leicester City faced.
The breach was caused due to player bonuses being triggered after the Tigers claimed their spot back into the Premier League for the first time since 2017.
This could be a huge blow for Hull's survival hopes!
