The European football authorities have approved new financial rules designed to stop clubs spending more than they earn. UEFA which governs the sport in Europe will monitor clubs’ finances over a three-year period to make sure they comply. Our sports correspondent Alex Capstick reports.

UEFA is determined to limit the lavish spending which has become such a feature of the game. A recent report found that half of Europe's leading clubs were losing money, and 20% faced huge deficits. Under the new rules, they will have to break-even. Clubs will not be allowed to spend more money than they generate. Rich benefactors will no longer be allowed to subsidize expensive transfers and salaries. Those clubs which consistently operate outside the parameters will be barred from European competitions.
