Premier League chief executive Richard Masters insists there is no "civil war" between clubs over financial regulations.
Earlier this month, plans to replace controversial profit and sustainability (PSR) rules were delayed amid legal challenges.
Clubs had been expected to adopt the new squad cost ratio (SCR) system for the 2025-26 campaign, but a trial is now set to continue.
"There's no civil war - that would not be the way that I would put it," said Masters, who was speaking at the Financial Times Business of Football Summit.
"Alignment among Premier League clubs has never been easy. Maybe it's a little bit more difficult at the moment.
"But to change to a new system, particularly with what's at stake, is a big decision. If clubs need more time to do it, then that's OK. We will carry on that path.
"We've agreed in all probability on PSR in 2025-26 and then we'll look again during the course of that season at whether we'll make the move to SCR."
Everton and Nottingham Forest were both docked points last season for breaching PSR, which was introduced a decade ago and allows clubs to post maximum losses of £105m over a three-year reporting cycle.
