League Two: the Salary Cost Management Protocol (SCMP)

Codified rule — official league figures

League Two runs the tightest wage control in the EFL: the Salary Cost Management Protocol caps player wage spending at 55% of relevant turnover, monitored during the season. The sanction is immediate and practical — registration embargoes until the ratio is back inside the line.
