Southampton are one of few clubs who will not be too concerned regarding a potential breach of the Premier League Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR) which are in place to support Financial Fair Play (FFP).

With Everton and Nottingham Forest both receiving points deductions last season as punishment for their own historic failures in complying with PSR, Premier League clubs now know there are tangible consequences of breaking the rules.

Following their relegation at the end of the 2022/23 season, Southampton made a number of sales and generated around £150 million as a result.

Given the loss of earnings associated with dropping out of the Premier League these departures were vital to ensure a sustainable financial future for the club.

Now, a football finance expert has explained Southampton’s financial situation this summer as they gear up for a return to the top flight.
