What is the Premier League Handbook?

The Premier League Handbook is the competition Rules for the Premier League.

It covers all aspects of how clubs operate. Some examples are club finances, the transfer of players and registrations, kit design, and ticket allocations for visiting fans.

The Handbook is updated ahead of each new season. Any major Rule changes require the approval of at least 14 out of 20 clubs. In this respect the Premier League works by self-regulation and the Handbook is a contract for how clubs wish to behave towards one another, and their fans.
