I thought they had some kind of regulations?
Having said that Gary Chuckle and the Crass of 92 with their spending at Salford City might say otherwise...
Apparently so, but different. This is from 2015, but it's the best I can find!
Any club that has been relegated to League 1 having exceeded the £6m limit will not be subject to a transfer embargo but will be required to comply with the Salary Cost Management Protocol (SCMP) regulations in place in that division. These rules require League 1 clubs to limit their spending on players’ wages to 60% of turnover plus 100% of Football Fortune income (e.g. financial donations, transfer income, revenue from cup matches), with a club relegated from the Championship being able to operate at 75% of turnover for a transitional period of one season.
League 2 clubs operate the SCMP system at 55% of turnover and 100% of Football Fortune income.
It's a similar structure to the new FFP rules of (revenue+transfer profit)/(wages+amortisation)
Targets are to be under 90% this year, then decreasing by 10% for two years.
