Yes, the rules were changed to include points deductions and even being denied promotion. Since the rule change though no one has failed FFP in the football league.

Previously, the Premier League bosses refused to help the Football League collect the ‘Fair Play Tax’ fines for clubs that overspent but won promotion – this lack of support significantly undermined the Football League and severely impacted on the effectiveness of the Football League punishments.QuoteAny punishment for breach of the rules will be determined by an independent panel (the ‘Fair Play Panel’).But what are the potential punishments? Previously the Football League has only been able to either; fine promoted clubs (a fine the Premier League didn’t help them collect), or impose a transfer embargo for historic overspending (which always like a stable-door/horse scenario). With this change, a wide range of punishments are now available. Nothing is off the table; the Football League are now able to impose a points deduction during the current season, or demote a club from an automatic promotion position into the play-offs (or out of the play-offs altogether). Transfer embargoes are also available (with the earliest one potentially applying during the Summer 2017 Transfer window.

The issue comes next year, which just happens to coincide with three years since Tone took over. What's more relevant is that it coincides with us getting relegated from the Prem with largely Championship income and a Premier League cost base.
