I’m pretty sure clubs that are flying close to the FFP wind will be arguing that some kind of indexation needs to be applied.You’ve got me thinking now
I read the other week that Kieran Maguire, finance academic and host of the Price of Football podcast, has calculated the operational losses for last season to average out at a remarkable £476,000 ($594,000) a week for every Championship club.
This equals an average of £24.752 million a year in losses. So how does that work for FFP as surely in a couple of years just about every championship club will be breaching FFP rules.
I’m not questioning what you’ve said Freddy as I remember the £13m per year figure, I’m just wondering how it will work going forward if championship club losses are at an all time high, and whether they’ll change the £13m figure per year to a much larger amountor just have all teams starting on minus points at the start of each season

The world is a more expensive place than when the £13m was agreed so they do have a point. However if the EFL up the limit then someone will still be unhappy as they’ll be over it.
The answer would be for the clubs to cut their cloths accordingly but a lot don’t seem either willing or able to do so.
Something has to give at some point though on either side.
