Aston Villa chief exec Christian Purslow expects greater spending limits being introduced to the Premier League.
Purslow believes Manchester City and Newcastle will face stricter limits.
He said: I do agree that there is a widely held opinion, and I share it, that for many years financial regulation has been too lax, too ambiguous, too complex, therefore too difficult to enforce, combined with an unwillingness to enforce. I think that's changing.
The Premier League now has, for the first time, four independent professional non-executive directors running the board. And it's no coincidence in the last six, eight weeks, two clubs have been prosecuted for financial rules when nobody had been prosecuted for years. So I think it's changing. I want it to change."
I am profoundly worried about it.
It is a clear and present danger. I'll speak as a football fan. I don't want to look back in 20 years time and say that I was part of a group that were asleep at the wheel. And in 20 years time we look back and three teams, controlled by nations, are the only three teams winning the Premier League ever again.
How do we stop that? We stop it with what we have today, which is extremely strict financial rules."
