Huge FFP points deduction and salary cap changes 'considered' by Premier League as Man United wait

Premier League clubs, including at Manchester United, are 'considering' making a change to how breaches of Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) are punished, according to reports.

Both Everton and Nottingham Forest have been handed points deductions by independent commissions after being found guilty of breaching the allowed limit of losses over three years, while Leicester City have also been charged with an alleged breach and face a hearing in front of an independent commission, despite their relegation last season.

Everton have been deducted six points, cut from an initial 10 on appeal, while Forest were handed a four-point deduction. Leicester could face a possible points deduction at the start of next season if they earn promotion back to the Premier League.

It is an outcome which many officials are reported to be unhappy with. Concerns among club owners, as reported by the Daily Mail, are that under its current guise, PSR will see the Premier League fall from its lucrative position as the world's best league because it will no longer be able to afford the best players on the best salaries.

United's derby rivals, Manchester City, are still dealing with 115 charges. Among them, there are accusations of not co-operating with the Premier League investigation, not abiding by PSR regulations, and not giving truthful and accurate information about their finances.

According to the Daily Mail, Premier League clubs are now considering replacing the points deduction punishment with a 'luxury tax'. It's reported that this 'radical reform' could be voted in at the end-of-season meeting
