The Premier League has decided to keep its current profit and sustainability rules in place for the upcoming season, although the clubs had agreed unanimously to change the rules in principle at a meeting last Thursday.
The existing rules state that clubs cannot report losses of more than £105m over three years.
However, a vote on whether to adopt the model used by UEFA, which allows squad spending to be based on the ratio of revenue and player sales, will take place in June.
But, since the details of the new rules are still being worked out, the current system will remain in place for now.
Clubs such as Everton and Nottingham Forest have been deducted points for breaching the rules.
Everton has been docked eight points in total, while Forest has lost four points.
Despite criticism of the current rules for being too restrictive, the Premier League has decided to stick with the existing framework for the time being.
Under the UEFA rules, clubs can spend no more than 70% of their revenue on squad costs.
At the upcoming vote, clubs will decide whether they want to adopt a similar model.
However, it is believed that an 85% limit is more likely, as the Premier League feels that this will allow for more ambition at clubs that do not qualify for Europe.
It is important to note that any decision made in June will not be implemented in time for next season, hence the current rules will stay in place.
Even if the new rules are agreed upon, it is still unclear how the transition would work and whether the Premier League would reduce the final percentage over some time or introduce it immediately.
However, it is expected that the principle of points deductions to punish clubs who exceed the limits will remain, even if the new rules are brought in.
