Burnley have received a financial boost as a £28million loss has dropped out of their profit and sustainability (PSR) calculations, sources have told Football Insider.

Burnley have bounced between the top two divisions in recent years after being relegated from the Premier League in two of the past four seasons.

Scott Parker is the man tasked with keeping the Lancashire club in the top flight this time around following a successful first campaign at Turf Moor. 

Burnley are the favourites to be relegated again this season due to their lack of financial firepower compared to some of their top-flight rivals. 

Although the Clarets are yet to face significant PSR issues, various Premier League clubs have been close to the spending limit in their efforts to compete over the past few years.

Burnley recorded a £28million loss after tax in their 2022-23 accounts – their biggest financial loss in recent years.

Burnley are in a unique PSR position compared to the majority of their fellow Premier League clubs.

The Athletic reported in June Burnley have received no equity funding in recent years, ensuring their allowable losses limit was just £15million at the end of 2024-25. 

The news outlet projected Parker’s side would need to post a £20million profit in the latest accounting year to avoid a spending breach.
