Has that much been changed?
It was announced that there would be a Covid allowance around the time that it was announced that years three and four (19/20 & 20/21) of the P & S would be averaged out when it came to calculating compliance.
Yesterdays announcement put a value (5m) on the allowance for both of those seasons.
It also put a value (2.5m) on this seasons allowance which is quite generous considering there has been little or no disruption.
The allowances certainly favour the smaller clubs; a 5m allowance for a club with a turnover of 12 to 15m is much better than 5m for a club with a 25 to 30m turnover like us
The other new news in yesterdays announcement confirmed that all clubs had agreed to use straight line amortisation from now on; surely that means the EFL had no case against Derby.
Their fans are fuming about it! I think the EFL was just clarifying the rule rather than changing it. However you can understand the frustration that they were punished for something that appears to have been technically legal (albeit clearly against the spirit of the rules)
