Getty Images | Hillsborough - the home ground of Sheffield Wednesday. The stadium is no longer under the ownership of the club because they had to sell it to the owner in order not to breach the FFP-rules. But now a number of clubs have had enough, they want to change the rules.

Group understood to be just short of 75 per cent needed to enact rule change.

Changes not expected to assist Sheffield Wednesday but may help any appeal case.
