Premier League Financial Regulations: A Threat to Quality?
The Premier League’s financial regulations, introduced in December 2021, are designed to prevent clubs from inflating commercial deals with companies linked to their owners. However, Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak believes these regulations will harm the quality of the league.
“I think the Premier League got to where it is today by being the most competitive league. So, I hope there is a bit more sensibility in regulating,” Al Mubarak said in a recent interview.
Al Mubarak’s concerns stem from the restrictions imposed on clubs, which he believes will limit their ability to compete at the highest level. The regulations, aimed at preventing unfair advantages, may have unintended consequences on the overall quality of the league.

The dispute will be settled through a two-week private arbitration hearing, which may have implications for Manchester City’s hearing into their 115 charges of allegedly breaching financial fair play rules.
