Clubs had been expected to adopt a new financial system for 2025-26, but it is understood uncertainty around Manchester City's challenge to the league's rules on commercial deals, plus the unknown impact of the independent regulator, has prompted them to press pause.
The Premier League insists it has fulfilled its obligations to date to consult with the PFA, with a spokesperson for the league saying last week: "The PFA has had multiple opportunities since March 2024 to provide feedback on the rules and the principles that underpin them.
Those rules, which allow clubs maximum permitted losses of £105million over three seasons, led to Everton being deducted eight points for two separate breaches last season and Forest being docked four points.
The PFA declined to comment following Thursday's decision to stick with the PSR, but sources close to the union felt the delay indicated clubs were also keen to get more information about the rules before pushing ahead.
The league was also facing the threat of legal action from the players' union, the Professional Footballers' Association, if either of the new mechanisms had been voted through on Thursday, with anchoring a particular concern for the PFA who feel it amounts to a hard salary cap.
