The English Football League are expected to overhaul their Financial Fair Play model to limit clubs to spending 70 percent of revenue.
Teams in the second tier are currently permitted losses of up to £39million over three years – or more if they have spent one or two of the previous three seasons in the Premier League - and face potential points deductions as penalties for breaches. Now, the Championship is being tipped to abandon the one size fits all cap and instead echo changes to Uefa's new model. Major changes are also in line to the parachute payment system for sides who have been relegated from the Premier League.
Talks are ongoing between the EFL and Premier League, who are both awaiting the Government’s verdict on Tracey Crouch’s review of football regulation before committing to the next step. New rules would mean significant changes to the transfer and wage budgets of clubs in the Championship – and the most recent accounts give a good idea of potential spending power in the division.
