Representatives from Championship clubs have voted against measures to increase transparency of Championship club's finances.

After a meeting at Nottingham Forest's City ground, teams discussed the changes after complaints on how sides meet financial fair play regulations were lodged.

It has been reported that Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson tabled a motion that would allow clubs to look at each other's accounts.

Gibson has spoken out on how Aston Villa , Sheffield Wednesday and Derby County are operating as he believes they are breaching Profitability and Sustainability rules.

Birmingham City were deducted nine points earlier this year after going over the total value of permitted losses (£39m) over a three year period.

The changes would have allowed all clubs to be able to look at rival's books. A majority of 18 out of 24 clubs need to agree to the decision for it to be passed and it is believed that was not reached.

Sky Sports News reported that the meeting lasted over five hours with Villa and Wednesday lobbying decision makers to vote in their favour.

Gibson is unhappy with how the EFL are currently regulating FFP sanctions, but this vote shows the majority of clubs are happy with the status quo.
