Conference Consider Rule Changes

The Conference are considering bringing back their wage capping regulations, and issuing harsher penalties to those clubs in financial trouble.

They scrapped their 'Approved Player Budget' wage capping rules last summer with some clubs disgruntled that there were too many loopholes in the regulations to be effective. More than a dozen of the 68 Conference sides have admitted to financial trouble already this season, prompting officials to consider a u-turn.

Those that do succumb to financial pressures will also be treated harshly, with plans being drawn up to automatically relegate clubs that enter Administration, liquidation, or even a CVA. Both proposals will be presented to their AGM in the summer.
