Premier League clubs have voted against a proposal to fast-track a ban on loan moves for players moving into England’s top flight between associated clubs in the January transfer window. The Athletic reported earlier this month that all 20 clubs were to vote on the proposed ban at the next shareholders’ meeting. The temporary measure was recommended to safeguard the integrity of the competition and provide the necessary time to find a more permanent solution. The vote at the meeting at The Churchill Hotel in Portman Square, London on Tuesday required at least a two-thirds majority...

    Everton the biggest gimps in the PL.

    Such an irrelevant club these days, just cheerleaders for sportswashed teams.

    This was only a temporary vote for the January window, the vote will happen again for a permanent measure, some of those voting clubs will not be able to vote next time that bite comes around.

    Good, this whole thing was ridiculous. I have no idea where this Newcastle loaning saudi players came from, there is zero indication we want to do that. There wouldnt really even be anynone we’d want…maybe get Maxi back, i’d support that.

    And other clubs have been doing it for years.

      Apparently it was Dan Ashworth when interviewed by The S*n, all he said was something to the effect of “I suppose we could do that, yes” when asked if it was possible.

      Also, the big thing people have missed in this is that if Newcastle want any player in the world they can just go and buy them, or just buy the club who has them under contract. They aren’t limited to just loaning in ASM or Neves because they play in Saudi.

      It doesn’t even make a difference for us. We were never going to loan Neves for example anyways. This just helps other clubs continue to do what they’ve done for years.

    Hope newcastle take the piss. Bring in mane, Ronaldo, Neves and whoever else on loans and free transfers just to make piss boil.

    Would love to know how each club voted, and what their justification was - am surprised by the results, as this clearly favors the larger clubs.

    The list is out there. Hope all those clubs who voted against get what’s coming to them. What a joke this league is becoming.

    Can’t wait for glazers to bring in some players from tempa bay to bolster our back four.

    This is why Everton needed taking down a peg. Need to own at least 4 other clubs to be treated with respect. Props to the PL!

    I really hope we don’t go down the road of signing loan players from PIF owned clubs. Feels shady and underhanded and everyone who’s been rightfully questioning our owners another stick to beat the club with.
