Championship clubs (16) voted to move to a new system of Squad Cost Rules

SCR benefits clubs with bigger stadiums and lucrative sponsorship deals as it effectively creates a larger budget to spend on players.

Not sure whether this is good or bad for us
 
I’d be interested to see the breakdown in votes. Also is it this seasons teams or next seasons teams that were voting?

To me it’s strange that if you happen to be in the PL in a particular season you get a vote on particular issue, but if you are out of the league for just that one season you don’t.

Would benefit the ‘bigger’ clubs, but I always thought it should be 1 vote for every season you spent in the PL whenever they are trying to pass things that directly or indirectly impact the EFL.

Don't think we have many lucrative sponsorship deals and our stadium would probably be one of the smallest in the division, so on that basis it's not good news.
 
It's not stadium size but how many turn up and spend their money that's important. And we were 20th out of 24 in attendances this season, with one of those below us being Wr*xh*m, who have all that sponsorship cash sloshing around. Not great for us, I'd say.
