The Premier League will not change the financial fair play rule that greatly benefited Chelsea


Clubs are always looking for loopholes in the regulations to avoid penalties for breaching financial fair play. In fact, other teams seem willing to let this loophole be exploited.
Details: London side Chelsea sought to plug gaps in their financial fair play compliance by selling hotels at Stamford Bridge and even their women's team, counting this income as part of the club’s overall revenue under the sustainability and stability rules.
Some clubs pushed to change the rule so that such assets could not be included in financial fair play calculations, but as The Guardian reports, the initiative failed to gain enough support from Premier League clubs and was removed from the vote.
Reminder: Even though this loophole works in England, it does not apply elsewhere, as Chelsea now faces financial fair play issues with UEFA.
