The proposed one-year transition period is wholly inadequate. Clubs operate on a multiyear planning cycle, particularly regarding player contracts and infrastructure payments. Abrupt changes would force relegated clubs into chaotic financial restructuring, undermining not only their stability but the very principles of sustainability that the Bill is meant to promote. One year barely provides enough time for a disorderly and destructive fire sale, and no club wants to be in that position. A three-year transition period, as proposed in this amendment, is the minimum necessary to ensure that clubs can adapt responsibly.
