It follows club chiefs' summit with the league at their Annual General Meeting in Harrogate on Thursday, June 6 in an attempt to avoid sporting sanctions akin to those handed down to Everton and Nottingham Forest during 2023/24.

Leeds United, meanwhile, are expected to join five other Championship teams at Friday's EFL AGM in proposing new spending rules also tied to clubs' revenues, as opposed to the one-size-fits-all financial arrangement currently used, in which clubs are permitted to lose a set amount over a three-year accounting period.
