Since the £4.25bn takeover, BlueCo has utilized loopholes in Premier League financial regulations, including long contracts for players and selling players such as Mason Mount and Conor Gallagher to maintain profitability. The strategic investments raise questions about financial rules in football and the future growth of the women’s team.
