A decision on whether to scrap the Premier League’s controversial profit and sustainability rules (PSR) and adopt an “alternative system” is “coming up”, says chief executive Richard Masters.

The current regulations, introduced in 2015-16 to prevent clubs from overspending, allow losses of £105m over a three-year reporting cycle.

However, they have been criticised by several top-flight teams for limiting their ability to invest.

Strangely, for someone who has acted in so many high-profile PSR cases, De Marco is not a fan of the rules.

Rather than the current situation, which is poised to change anyway when the planned ‘anchoring’ around the turnover of the lowest-ranked clubs comes in next season, De Marco feels there should be a loose upper spending limit to encourage competition and investment.

And he does not feel the advent
