Salary cap: EFL proposes League One and League Two cap on wages - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52738597I don't know too much about football finance buchnert would this help to level the playing field? Is the cap too high to make a difference? Would clubs just find a way around it like they seem to have with other control measures....? Will it happen? (just a proposal at present) |

(just a proposal at present) A great idea in theory but as you say clubs will find a way around it. The EFL need to grow a backbone and police it properly. They didn’t with FFP and you end up with owners selling their own football grounds to themselves. I can hear the agent talking now. “Burton and MK Dons can both only offer you £2k a week because of the salary cap but Pete Winkleman will buy you a nice big house down here, a brand new car and put your two kids through private school for a couple of years. Burton can offer you two annual passes at Alton Towers.” |

On the face of it this sounds like something that may benefit us and bring some of the bigger boys closer to us rather than further away. At £2.5m per year for a squad of 20 players that is an average of about £2.5k per week per player(think Boyce was on £3k per week with us when he signed) and although that is probably higher than our budget we wouldn't be as far off some of the teams as we are now I don't think.
Interesting proposal and probably not one that the Sunderland's and Portsmouth's of our division would be in favour of.

The big teams would just have to find a manager who is brilliant at building a strong squad with very little cash... |

Interesting proposal and probably not one that the Sunderland's and Portsmouth's of our division would be in favour of. If the EFL can make it workable, I'd say go for it. I think if the owners of big clubs had any sense they'd love this idea. Wages would quickly find tbeir level as players cane to terms with the fact they've got no other option. It's not like they can just swan off to the championship. The owners would have a great excuse not to "invest" in bigger names,so fans couldn't hammer them. You'd think the bigger clubs would then turn a profit based on their supporter base being so big. Surely if you run your club well, you'd be all for this move. Players (and agents) currently have too much power. |
