The EFL are considering the concept of allowing “add-backs” for lost transfer revenue to be included in Profit & Sustainability calculations, Bristol Live understands, which if permitted would be a huge boost to Bristol City.
The Robins posted record losses of £38.4million for the financial year ending 2021, which has put them under threat of falling foul of financial fair play regulations for next season, as it is likely to take them over the £39m threashold for losses permitted over a three-season period.
City have blamed the huge rise in losses, having posted £10m for the previous season, on the collapse of the transfer market outside of the Premier League, as their revenue in this department fell from £26m to £6m, Sammie Szmodics to Peterborough and Niclas Eliasson to Nimes the only substantial sales.
