Premier League clubs have voted against a proposal to fast-track a ban on loan moves for players moving into England’s top flight between associated clubs in the January transfer window.
The Athletic reported earlier this month that all 20 clubs were to vote on the proposed ban at the next shareholders’ meeting. The temporary measure was recommended to safeguard the integrity of the competition and provide the necessary time to find a more permanent solution.
The vote at the meeting at The Churchill Hotel in Portman Square, London on Tuesday required at least a two-thirds majority...
What should be done to differentiate between PIF loan deals and more developmental ones is that there should be a cap on the total wages of players loaned in, relative to their total wage package in their contract and the total wage budget of the club seeking the loan. So Newcastle can’t bring in PIF players on 900 grand a week, United can’t get loans from INEOS clubs to get around them being on the limit for FFP such as happened with Amrabat, etc.
Multi club ownership is its own conversation, but when it comes to loans, they need to be regulated with common sense and not just banned out of hand.
