Since the summer of 2023, Newcastle United has not reinforced their starting lineup, and Gary Neville has taken notice. Gary Neville has criticised the Premier League’s financial constraints, which have prevented the ‘richest owners in the world’ from boosting Newcastle United in recent transfer windows. Newcastle and top-flight clubs are presently testing squad cost rules and top-to-bottom anchoring in the shadows, but Premier League clubs are still limited to losses of £105 million over a rolling three-year period. These PSR rules, which were adopted in 2013, will remain in force next season after top-flight teams voted against modifying the regulations…

However, there is…
