Ipswich Town boss Mick McCarthy has complained that teams like his could be ‘priced out of promotion’ by the recent dilution of the Football League’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules. The current Ipswich squad was assembled at a total cost of £10,000 in transfer fees.

Other clubs that he names as likely to be affected are Charlton Athletic and Sheffield Wednesday, although the latter may hope for a new owner who can bankroll player acquisitions. Charlton’s strategy has been based on prudent spending anticipating the arrival of stringent FFP rules and the decision is a setback for them.
