are introduced in several places to make it a requirement that the IFR must show that the new DLC was necessary to make sure that clubs meet, or contribute to meeting, the threshold requirements. This means that the IFR has to show that there is an issue that needs action and that it cannot be resolved in other ways, through club or league action. Again, the intention is to create greater simplicity where, at the moment, uncertainty and complexity exist. With that comes cost to all clubs, particularly those in the lower leagues.
