Concerned about the clubs' £1bn of collective debt, Football League chairman Greg Clarke brought in measures to encourage teams to live within their means. League One clubs are now only allowed to spend a maximum of 65% of their turnover on wages (falling to 60% next season), with the cap at 55% in League Two. Clubs who breach those rules face a transfer embargo. The rules for Championship clubs - a move to limit losses to no more than £16m over five seasons - do not come into force until January 2015, but the accounting period starts next season. They too will face transfer embargoes for breaking the rules, and promoted clubs may be fined.
This seems to be an oxymoron. How can this be fair play when clearly L2 clubs are being discriminated against while Championship clubs can carry on regardless for another two years?

After years of boredom, despair, resignation and misery, this is unbound joy.
