However, despite complying with the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability rules, the club are facing a possible new punishment. ‌Speaking on The Overlap's Fan Debate, he said: "There's a chance that Villa could be in breach of the UEFA rules. Chelsea also sold their women's team to a sister company last year, helping them stay within the Premier League financial limits. "Those sorts of issues were prohibited under those UEFA rules, but they were allowed at the start of the season under the Premier League rules," Maguire added. So the Premier League has come more in line with the UEFA rules.
