The efl wouldn't be able to amend the legal terms between two parties who entered into the contract, unless the government changed the law which isnt going to happen. Any wage cap will surely only be able to apply to new contracts entered into after the implementation date. And then some player or the pfa will challenge it through the courts, like Bosman did.
The way its going to work allegedly is that any contract signed before this season will count as a 10k a week deal. So until players begin to sign new deals it won't have a huge impact.
Some clubs have 70-80m wage bills though so they will be greater impacted. This is a good thing for Forest and the EFL if it happens. It should allow greater competition, make the parachute payments less of an issue and actually stop all teams making ridiculous losses.
The prem won't be happy but I'm not sure all the champ clubs making huge losses is really in their best interest either
