Rule changes

On field rules

  • Clubs are now restricted to having 25 first-team players over the age of 21, of which 10 must be home grown (registered in domestic football for three seasons before their 21st birthday). There is no restriction to players under 21.

Off field rules

  • The new financial reporting rules will see clubs that fail to lodge their accounts with the Football League, at the same time they are required by Companies House, being hit with a transfer embargo.
  • The Football League's Fit and Proper Person test was renamed "Director's Test" to ensure continuity with other football bodies.

Sponsorship changes

Npower will be the Football League's new sponsor after Coca-Cola's contract ran out and was not renewed. The "Player of the Month" and "Manager of the Month" awards will now been known as the "Npower Player of the Month" and the "Npower Manager of the Month" award respectively. Coca-Cola signed a three-year contract to become the Football League's official partner.[3]
