Michel Platini yesterday praised the Football League's 72 clubs for signing up to follow UEFA's financial fair play system.

Championship clubs will only be allowed to spend what they earn from the 2012-13 season, while sides in League One and Two will not be permitted to spend more than 55% of their turnover on player wages.
