The Premier League may be ready to cut down on any points deductions for financial rules breaches.

Everton and Nottingham Forest have both fallen foul of the league's Profit and Sustainability Rules.

However, The Mail states that the league is changing course for future seasons.

17 of 20 Premier League teams will vote on a change that would introduce an American sports-style “luxury tax."

This would apply to teams that are not complying with the league's regulations.

Whether such a move would help clubs avoid administration or financial issues is unclear.
