Championship clubs have to impose a wage cap to end “ unsustainable ” expenditure chasing the Premier League dream , according to financial services firm Deloitte .
And the coronavirus crisis should be the catalyst for change with a potential recession reducing the ability of rich owners to subside their clubs – and threatening more clubs going out of business like Bury .

But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ League saw Championship clubs still lose a staggering combined total of £300m on total record revenues of £785m .
And the 24 clubs in the second tier had a wages-to-turnover ratio of 107 % .
Tim Bridge , director in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte , said : “ Clearly a wage-to-revenue ratio of over 100 per cent does not reflect a sustainable business model unless you have the ability to draw down on some other form of cash funding .

Deloitte has warned that coronavirus must be catalyst for change after second-tier clubs' wage bills were higher than turnover during 2018-19 season
Championship clubs have to impose a wage cap to end “unsustainable” expenditure chasing the Premier League dream, according to financial services firm Deloitte.
And the coronavirus crisis should be the catalyst for change with a potential recession reducing the ability of rich owners to subside their clubs – and threatening more clubs going out of business like Bury.
The company’s Annual Review of Football Finance 2020 found each of the three divisions of the English Football League achieved record revenues in 2018-19 and topped a combined £1billion for the first time.
But seeking even more money in the Premier League saw Championship clubs still lose a staggering combined total of £300m on total record revenues of £785m. And the 24 clubs in the second tier had a wages-to-turnover ratio of 107%.
Tim Bridge, director in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte, said: “Clearly a wage-to-revenue ratio of over 100 per cent does not reflect a sustainable business model unless you have the ability to draw down on some other form of cash funding.

"And that for Championship clubs is typically an owner who is willing to invest their money in order to gain promotion to the Premier League.
“But the reason that Championship clubs are not self-sustaining is because everyone else is not self-sustaining and so you have to typically spend more in order to achieve more.
"Each club is trying to outdo each other on the pitch and it is perceived that the way to do that is to invest in the best playing talent, and that comes with a cost.
“The issue is that everybody is doing the same so there is competitive tension for those players and that has driven wage costs in excess of revenue over a number of years now.
“What we are experiencing at the moment is a real cash crisis and if you run out of cash, it is an existential issue.
“This feels like a natural time to consider more robust and more significant financial controls at that level of the game. Owners might not now be able to plug deficits. It feels like the timing is neat.”

Dawn died, and Myanna said a lot of disinformation was later spread about her, and she also condemned the descriptions of Dawn as a drug addict and homeless, arguing it was not true and even if it was, it did not make her life any less valuable.
"Dawn was not a drug addict, she was not homeless, she was a woman who struggled with mental health issues who had experienced knocks in life, which I think all of us have," said MyAnna.
"She did struggle with alcohol but she was really at a point where she wanted to turn things around.
"Her family are utterly gorgeous, the most lovely beautiful, caring family, and she had a wonderful partner in Charlie Rowley, who also was poisoned.
"She had three children, friends, and I think it's important to remember that she didn't die because of her lifestyle choices, she died because she was an innocent victim due to an assassination attempt that went wrong, and one that was carried out in a way that thousands of innocent people were put at risk," she said.

"It's gone way beyond a joke, and for me it's ruined our friendship," he explained.

Tottenham's Dele Alli apologises for video in which he mocks spread of coronavirus
Tottenham's Dele Alli apologises for video in which he mocks spread of coronavirus
Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli has been handed a one-match ban by the Football Association for a social media post mocking coronavirus
Dele Alli will miss Tottenham's Premier League meeting with Manchester United after being handed a one-match ban by the Football Association.
Spurs star Alli had been hit with an FA misconduct charge following a social media post apparently joking about the deadly coronavirus back in February.
The England international posted a video on Snapchat which appeared to mock an Asian man.
An FA Commission has found that Alli's post was not racially motivated, but rather a "poorly judged attempt" at what the Tottenham midfielder then believed to be a "humorous joke".
As such, the Spurs star has also been given a one-match ban and fined £50,000.
He must also undertake a face-to-face education course following a breach of FA Rule E3.

Alli issued a statement soon after news of the punishment was confirmed and said: "In response to the FA decision, I would like to apologise again for any offence caused by my actions on 6th February.
"It was an extremely poorly judged joke about a virus that has now affected us more than we could ever have imagined.
"I’m grateful that The FA has confirmed that my actions were not racist because I despise racism of any kind.
"We all need to be mindful of the words and actions we use and how they can be perceived by others."

The video was filmed in the departure lounge at Heathrow Airport while he and three friends waited to catch a flight to Dubai during the winter break.
In the video posted by Alli he wore a face mask in an airport lounge, before moving the camera to show a man of Asian appearance, and then zooming in on a bottle of antiseptic hand wash.
Alli removed the post within minutes having shared it with 160 'friends and colleagues’ on Snapchat and three ‘very close friends’ on WhatsApp.

In summing up, the FA commission declared: “It is clear from all the evidence the Commission heard, and accepted, that The FA were right to observe that it was not their case that Dele Alli was a racist.
“The Commission concluded that the video created at Heathrow airport on the 6th February was a very poorly judged attempt at what the player then regarded as a humorous joke.
“The measure of that extremely poor judgement was evidenced by the fact that the player himself reflected promptly on the content and sought to delete it with some haste.
"The Commission concluded that the misconduct was not premeditated, and that the Player had not set out to be insulting or to create a racial stereotype.
"The Commission agreed with the FA in their assessment that the actions of the Player were ‘without sufficient thought’ and a ‘misguided attempt at humour’".
