Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness believes that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy could push for stricter PSR rules to be implemented in the Premier League.
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – revealed that the political views between the Premier League clubs is going to vary on this matter.
The Premier League will meet next summer to discuss PSR, and Levy is in favour of a more restrictive being put in place for all teams.
PSR has heavily impacted the Premier League in recent years with Everton and Nottingham Forest being deducted points in the 2023-24 campaign.
Leicester City avoided the same punishment this season after finding a legal loophole, while Man City still have 115 charges hanging over them.
Tottenham could push against what other clubs want in terms of PSR
It is believed that Tottenham are one of few clubs in the Premier League that are pushing for more restrictions, which is something that Levy will need to debate when the time comes.
Wyness told Football Insider‘s Insider Track podcast: “Daniel Levy at Spurs is one of best financial operators as we all know.
“I can see his view is he wants to keep the league competitive around his level and he’s not there yet in terms of the big six.
“He knows as well that the valuation of his franchise, Spurs, will actually be increased if he can find some way to keep these spending rules you know in place.
“He wants it to be restrictive but he wants it to be enforced, there’s going to be political views between all 20 clubs and they’re all going to be in different places about this.
“I was surprised that some action hasn’t already moved forward on some votes we saw in the summer, but we will start to see clubs moving towards a more open PSR situation despite what Daniel wants.
“We are going to have to see the debate as we go forward, but it’s urgent and it’s got to happen right now.
“The owners of that type would want stricter rules and then that allows, in theory, for more competition.”
