Championship clubs vote to move from the current Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) to a new financial framework based on Squad Cost Rules (SCR). The decision means clubs will be judged primarily on their squad spending costs relative to club revenue, rather than the PSR approach. Sources say the change is intended to bring the Championship’s regulations into line with the Premier League’s planned introduction of SCR. The Premier League is set to introduce squad cost rules from the 2026–27 season. The Championship vote therefore shifts the league toward a similar system ahead of the Premier League timetable. The new framework is described as using a ratio model for squad costs, aligning how clubs’ spending levels are monitored and enforced. The move is reported as being supported by clubs voting in favour of adopting SCR “from next season,” subject to the relevant league and regulatory implementation steps. Overall, the articles agree that the vote represents a regulatory shift affecting how Championship clubs’ finances and spending decisions are assessed.
