I dropped Kadji New EFL rule changes have been confirmed ahead of the 2022/23 season to not only help clubs and players, but football fans too. At Friday’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), Football League Clubs approved a number of regulation changes that will come into effect immediately. Discussions were also expected to be held over the future of the 3pm blackout for broadcasting fixtures – although the Premier League and Championship are unenthusiastic.
