League clubs to vote on changes to FFP

 
Sustainable: FFP rules were introduced in 2012

Championship clubs will vote this week on proposals to change the Football League’s Financial Fair Play rules.

A number of ammendments have been put forward by both the Football League and clubs in an attempt to improve the regulations.

The proposals need a two-thirds majority of the 24 Championship clubs to be approved. Results of the vote are expected to be announced later this week.

Any changes to the regulations would relate to the accounts for the 2014‑2015 season.

Clubs who have lost more than £8million this season will be subject to the punishments which have already been agreed — a transfer embargo starting in January 2015. However, if a club promoted to the Premier League this season have broken the limits they will be fined.

Queens Park Rangers, who face Derby in the Championship Play-off Final on Saturday, lost £65million in the 2012-13 season — their last in the Premier League. Although their figures for this season will not be known until later in the year, it would take a mammoth effort to get under the £8m limit.

Football League clubs will submit their latest financial accounts in December.

FFP rules were introduced in 2012 to try and stop clubs gambling unsustainably on getting into the Premier League.
