  11. Premier League set to decide on PSR alternative

    A decision on whether to scrap the Premier League's controversial Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and adopt an "alternative system" is "coming up", says chief executive Richard Masters.

    The current regulations, introduced in 2015-16 to prevent clubs from overspending, allow losses of £105m over a three-year reporting cycle.

    However, they have been criticised by several top-flight teams for limiting their ability to invest.

    BBC Sport has been told a decision on any changes is likely to be made at a meeting in November.

    In February, clubs chose to continue with PSR for the current season.

    However a squad cost ratio (SCR) system of financial control was adopted by the Premier League on a shadowing, non-binding basis.

    SCR is similar to Uefa's existing financial rules and allows clubs to spend up to a percentage of their total revenues on squad-related costs.

    Nine of the league's 20 clubs already have to comply with Uefa's SCR as a result of qualifying for Europe. Both Chelsea and Aston Villa were fined by Uefa in July for breaching the rules.

    Asked about SCR at the Leaders sports conference in London, Masters said: "We are talking to our clubs about an alternative system. That's not to say we don't think the PSR system works."

    He added: "It's about closer alignment with European regulation, which is squad cost ratio, which is a revenue test. In Uefa, it's now set at 70%. Our system will be 85% because we always want our clubs to have the ability to invest.

    "The Premier League has been built on the back of investment in which international capital flows [are] coming in. We don't want that to be to be stifled off."

  14. 'I have quietly settled in' - De Cuyper

    Brighton defender Maxim De Cuyper spoke to BBC Radio Sussex about his start to life in the the Premier League: "It is a great atmosphere here - we have a nice team and nice staff so I have quietly settled in already.

    "It is a bit of a surprise [how well I've settled in], as a player you know your own qualities, but you make a move to the best league in the world so there is always going to be a question mark. The adaptation has gone quite well and we have started really well. For sure, the physicality is the biggest adaptation for me and my body, in training and games."

    Ahead of Sunday's match, he spoke highly of Wolves forward Tolu Arokodare, who De Cuyper played against in his native Belgium: "A striker who is very dangerous in the box. He is about two metres [tall] so he is very good with his head. He is also good in the build up and has good feet. He is pretty fast as well so he is all-round a good striker."

    Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Wolves at Molineux (14:00 BST).

    Here are the key lines from his news conference:

    • Hurzeler confirmed his only fresh injury concern is Joel Veltman who will miss Sunday's game after picking up a "small issue" in the win over Chelsea but will be back after the international break.

    • Reflecting on Saturday's victory at Stamford Bridge, he said: "Every win gives you confidence and creates a good energy and atmosphere. We really should focus on out performance, how we faced adversity in the first half and how we reacted. There were a lot of positive things but of course things we have to improve."

    • On the Seagulls' overall start to the season: "We could have more points but in the end I always try and emphasise the process, the work ethic and how much effort is put into training. Therefore, I am quite happy with how the team are working and sticking together."

    • Is Danny Welbeck in his mind to start?: "He's always in my thinking. He's a great player and goalscorer. We have to make tough decisions and decisions based on the opponent, but he's always a factor in my head and will always be key for us."

    • On the progress of Yankuba Minteh: "He's doing the easy things right, trying to focus on the technical execution and trying to understand when he can go in one-against-one situations. He keeps getting a better understanding of how he can implement his danger into our game. On top of that it's the consistency in how he trains, takes care of his body, and how he behaves."

    • When asked about his side's poorer record against teams further down the table, Hurzeler said: "You can over-analyse these kind of results. Overall, we always do good against teams at the top and struggle against teams further back and we know we need to change it. We know we need to play against Wolves with the same intensity we did last week. But we also proved against lower-league teams in the FA and Carabao Cup that we are professional."

    • On Wolves, who are currently bottom of the Premier League: "Very difficult opponent to play. When you only look at the results, you might think it's easy but in every game I've seen so far from them they have had a chance to win it. They have played good football, have looked stable out of possession, and they don't give away a lot of chances. They have a good style of play and it is not easy to defend the box against them."
