Premier League 'step up war' against Man Utd & Man City-backed players' union over new financial proposals

<p>Earlier this month, the players union issued a legal threat to the Premier League regarding its proposed introduction of new financial rules, which could include a system that limits how much clubs can spend on transfer fees, agents’ fees and player wages. The PFA, which has the support of Manchester United and Manchester City among others, has accused the league of a "flagrant breach" of an agreement that requires the union to be consulted on issues affecting players' compensation and working conditions through the Professional Football Negotiating and Consultative Committee (PFNCC).</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>As per <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/article/a99d98f5-aeb7-4d66-9ecb-61a519949232?shareToken=7bd29031bc64835e3d718c23dae99393" target="_blank"><em>The Times</em></a>, Premier League CEO Richard Masters has stated that the league might now think about quitting the PFNCC. With the Premier League filing a lawsuit to override the players' union's veto power, Masters informed teams that the disagreement with the PFA could need to be settled through arbitration. If such a move didn't work out, the league may take the drastic measure of exiting the PFNCC.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Despite the PFA's refusal to comment, the next step is unlikely to be favourably received by its members. The union, which views the plans as an artificial salary cap, could ballot its players on strike action if it sees no other option, but it would be considered a last resort.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>After replying in writing to the PFA's legal letter, Premier League insiders have told <em>The Times</em> that they have been dissatisfied with the lack of interaction with union leaders and are still awaiting a reply from the PFA regarding the same.</p>
