Steps to increase club staff expense limit

The league In the same Delegate Commission, it gave the green light to a series of changes aimed at making this staff cost limit more flexible. Starting with losses generated from COVID and the new scenario for their distribution. Until now The league has set payment percentages for five periods and increases.

From 15% last season 2022-2023, 20% this season 2023-2024 and the next and finally 22.5% in 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. On that date each club must pay 100% of the losses.

Now the intention of employers is to set an annual limit based on their turnover, which would allow clubs to spread these losses over more years. This way, it has less impact on each club’s Squad Cost Limit.

The capital increase also favors the horizon to sign. Until now, part of it has been devoted to cleaning up the club’s balance sheet. Now part of these capital increases can be used precisely to alleviate the losses of COVIDtherefore affecting in favor of the Staff Cost Limit itself.

But in addition, the League has until now allowed a portion of this money from Squad Cost Limit extensions to be distributed over four years. In particular, it is 25% of the volume of turnover. Now it has been reduced to just two years, which also gives clubs more room for maneuver.

And the last proposal concerns the depreciation of some infrastructures, which from now on will not be considered as until now in Template Cost Limit. Especially the ones made in stadiums.
