Seems like it benefits the parachute teams and possibly Wrexham.. But should stop teams going bust.
Good or bad?

I suspect we'll have been one of the four who voted against it.
Best get a documentary out on Turkish tv quickly.
Seems like on the face it a simplified alternative to the current PSR rules, but perhaps might make the gap between parachute and non-parachute sides even bigger. That cliff edge really needs to be addressed, regardless of whatever you do about spending restrictions.
Power shoot payments needs to be scrapped, or clubs in receipt of them need to be placed under some kind of embargo or spending restriction. They can choose when they come down take the money or unrestricted signings.
You prefer a dribble into the far corner rather than a power shot!
Loop holes, payments in other ways. FFP hasn't been effective and this won't either imo
In theory, if a club’s annual revenue is £40 million, they can spend £44 million max on squad costs, including wages and transfer fees. I assume transfer fee amortisation remains the same.
The issue is that the clubs with parachute payments and Wrexham have a huge advantage, possibly even more than under PSR.
Sky Bet Championship
Championship Clubs have approved a new Squad Cost Rules (SCR) financial framework that will replace the current Profitability and Sustainability (P&S) rules from Season 2026/27.During the course of the 2025/26 season, Championship Clubs have been operating an SCR system in shadow, alongside the P&S Rules, to allow Clubs to assess the proposed rule changes and provide the League with further information to enable wider consultation with stakeholders.
The SCR system limits Clubs 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 the 2026/27 season 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 (up to a maximum of £15m a season).
The new framework allows for real-time monitoring during the season, rather than reviewing ‘after the event’, with the aim of giving Clubs greater clarity and the Club Financial Reporting Unit earlier visibility over Clubs’ financial position.
The framework also includes safeguards around commercial deals linked to Owners or associated parties.
The changes are intended to create a simpler and more responsive system of cost control within the Championship.
A version of the SCR framework is also to be introduced in the Premier League for the 2026/27 season, bringing closer alignment between the divisions.
Not sure last year but I think the latest I've seen was about 25m
Leicester 318m
(although from a reddit post so take with a pinch of salt)
Scrap the parachute payments or set a cap on relegated teams
In a way though it's encouraging clubs to find revenue streams and opportunities which will encourage being sustainable.
Is there a transition period? As clubs will be signed up to expenditure over the next 3-4 years in accordance with the current PSR rules.
Thinking about us this will be a struggle to meet if we don’t win next weekend?

Wasn't our wage bill 130% of revenue last season and the highest percentage in the league? We could be in big trouble.
On the flip side, great time to go up. The gap between the rest of the championship and the parachute clubs is going to get even bigger

If that's the press release then you can't help but notice that there's no mention of 'fairer' anywhere amongst the benefits. They're not even pretending.
