LONDON (AP) — Clubs in the third and fourth professional divisions in English football have voted to introduce squad salary caps.
The cap will be set at 2.5 million pounds ($3.2 million) in League One and 1.5 million pounds ($2 million) in League Two.
The aim is to tackle wage inflation and make the leagues more sustainable a year after Bury was expelled due to financial troubles. There are also ongoing financial issues across the leagues with fans due to be prohibited from stadiums when the new season begins next month due to the coronavirus pandemic.
