EFL boss blasts ‘diabolical’ new league rule just two games into season
The Story So Far
West Ham United's position within the wider English football structure means that developments in the English Football League often carry significant implications for the club. A prominent EFL executive has recently issued a stinging critique of a new league regulation introduced at the start of this campaign. Only two matches into the schedule, the official characterized the rule change as highly problematic, expressing deep dissatisfaction with its immediate impact on the game. For the Hammers, such friction in the lower divisions is noteworthy given the frequency of player loan arrangements and cup fixtures against EFL sides. The intensity of this early-season backlash indicates that further discussions regarding the regulation’s future may be imminent.
