    Well it was a quid pro quo to achieve PSR alignment for both clubs.

    The rules are not fit for purpose.

    Actively encouraging clubs to engage in this kind of trading and selling off academy talent, ya know, the very core of player development which clubs 20 yrs ago were forced to invest in.

    When the FA brought in the academy Tier system and changed the 'reserve league' to 'U-23 league' which saw NUFC assigned 'B' Tier academy whilst the Mackems were assigned a 'A' Tier, all clubs in the Football Pyramid were encouraged to develop quality youth players.

    It worked in a sense. England are the current U-21 champions of Europe, the Premier League awash with quality young English players & some serious hype jobs like Mainoo.

    However, the idea was that clubs would become sustainable in terms of developing youth players through to the first team and reducing the dependence on importing overseas players.

    This is where the whole thing falls apart.

    The rules allow for the youth to be once again, hoovered up by the fraudulent clubs who have manipulated the finances of the league for decades.

    Once again the Supporters Trusts of all clubs should form a union or atleast combine to sue the Premier League for bringing the game into disrepute.

    They should engage with a lawyer from Blackstone Chambers to take up the case of their behalf.
