The EFL announced changes to the Championship's squad cost rules and to League One's squad cost management protocol (SCMP), which will, among other things, change how much Mikheil Lomtadze is capable of funding Wycombe Wanderers' transfer activity for the upcoming summer. 

Turnover:

Previously, League One clubs were able to spend 60% of turnover on wages, meaning that if a club made 1 million for the season, they would be able to spend 600 thousand on wages, which has now been reduced to 50%.

On top of this, the manager's wages are now also included in this calculation, although Wycombe are unlikely to be paying millions for Michael Duff.
