The Burnley game has been rescheduled for television coverage

The match between Manchester City and Burnley next month has been rescheduled for television coverage.

The Premier League has confirmed a rule modification

A new cap on the amount of transfer fees that Premier League teams can deduct from their accounts has been implemented as part of a substantial regulation change implemented by the division’s governing body.

The change, which will affect City and their top-flight rivals in the future, was approved at the most recent Premier League shareholders’ meeting. Clubs were able to take advantage of a well-documented loophole.

Previously, top-tier clubs could stretch the expense of transfer fees over the whole life of a player’s contract. This enabled companies to sign long-term contracts and potentially spread out their spending in order to maintain a healthier financial picture.
