Media playback is not supported on this device Football fans express their fears over record club losses in the EFL Championship. The Championship is a "bubble waiting to burst" because clubs are posting record losses in a "gamble" to reach the Premier League. New P&S rules introduced by the EFL from the 2016-17 season allow the majority of clubs £39m in losses over three seasons. If a team has recently been relegated from the Premier League, its limits will be larger - and there are other caveats that allow some clubs to spend beyond the £39m limit. The three clubs - Wolves, Fulham and Cardiff - to post the highest pre-tax losses all did gain promotion to the Premier League that year.
