Bristol City is expected to be one of the winners under the new spending rules in the Championship, according to football finance expert Kieran Maguire. The new rules will limit spending on player and manager-related costs to a set percentage of income. This means that clubs will have to be more careful with their finances and make sure they are not overspending. Maguire believes that clubs who have bolstered their facilities to increase non-matchday revenue will also benefit from the new framework. This includes Bristol City, which has invested in its stadium and facilities in recent years. The new rules will come into effect from the 2026/27 season and will be a major change for clubs in the Championship. Maguire also believes that the new rules will help to create a more level playing field in the Championship, with clubs having to be more careful with their finances. This will make it harder for clubs to overspend and will help to prevent financial difficulties. The new rules will also give clubs more flexibility to manage their finances and make decisions about how to spend their money. Maguire believes that the new rules will be a positive change for the Championship and will help to create a more sustainable and competitive league.
