EFL clubs agree changes to financial control rules. Championship: Squad Cost Rules system limits club spending on “player and manager-related costs (including transfer fees) to a set percentage of their income, alongside a limited level of owner funding. From 2026/27 the SCR allowance for clubs will be set at 85% of income, with a flexible equity top-up allowance of £33m over a three-year period”. Allows for “real-time monitoring…rather than reviewing ‘after the event’.” League One: percentage of turnover that clubs can spend on wages reduced from 60% to 50% (inc manager costs). League Two: no change agreed.
