Off field rules
 The new financial reporting rules will see clubs that fail to lodge their accounts with the Football League, at the same time they are required by Companies House, being hit with a transfer embargo.
 The Football League's Fit and Proper Person test was renamed "Director's Test" to ensure continuity with other football bodies.
