PFA takes EFL to High Court over League One salary cap changes

The Professional Footballers’ Association has initiated High Court action against the English Football League regarding the recent amendments to salary cap regulations in League One. These changes, intended to reduce financial uncertainty, lower the allowable player salary expenditure from 60 percent to 50 percent of revenue. The PFA claims the amendments were made without proper consultation through the Professional Football Negotiating and Consultative Committee. The EFL has expressed disappointment over the PFA's stance, asserting that discussions concerning these changes were adequate. The situation is part of a broader effort to ensure financial sustainability in the league, highlighted by EFL chief executive Trevor Birch's comments on increasing reliance on owner funding.
