2024-25 EPL Season

[JeffreyLFC]

Some teams were clearly desperate to be compliant last summer, but it seems like they managed to help each other out. Just look at how Newcastle supposedly bought Nottingham's 30 y/o backup goalkeeper for £20M last summer just to not use him.

The inside story of Odysseas Vlachodimos' transfer from Forest to Newcastle - and is he any good?

Sounds like money laundering lol.

Unless the EPL put a rule to stop this, I am expecting that all clubs will use that trick every year to stay compliant.

They tried. But all the teams that broke the rules banded together, voted against it, and blocked the supermajority needed to change the rule

What's in common with first ever English Top division champions Preston 1889/89 and English Champions Arsenal 2003/04? Maybe Google knows.

We really considering a team that played when Queen Victoria was alive in the same category as the Prestige 2003-04 Arsenal? Let alone, the first-ever season of the EPL on top of that with all how new the sport was at that time? Seriously Mr. Gary?

By this logic '23-'24 Leverkusen is the greatest Bundesliga team of all time and better than a squad that included Neuer, Lahm, Boateng, Schelweinsteiger, Kroos, Müller, Ribery, and Robben.

99-00 United team over the treble winning team from the prior season?
