Aston Villa are proposing a change to the rules restricting Premier League clubs’ spending before the transfer window opens formally on June 14.
Mail Sport has learned that Villa have suggested increasing the amount of money top-flight clubs are permitted to lose within the current financial structure and the matter could be put to a vote at the next shareholders’ meeting, scheduled for June 6.
Under the current profitability and sustainability regulations (PSR), top-flight clubs are allowed to lose a maximum of £105million over a three-year period. Last season Everton and Nottingham Forest were found to have breached those rules and were docked eight and four points respectively.
