If there is some exemption for clubs relegated from Premier league then the parachute payments should be used soley to fund any excess and not available for transfers. End relegation payments to the clubs. Use the money instead to purchase contracts from relegated clubs that they cant afford under the cap.

pazowl55 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Agree 20m way to low. But 50m way to high. That's basically things staying the same. Wont be many clubs paying more than that in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA55 IVE Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 This would be a great idea in my opinion. Championship 20m League 1 10m League 2 5m Every single club has to adhere to these rules and create a team within this wage cap. Would be interesting!

A salary cap is the only way to go imo and 20m pa sounds about right, lets be honest Champ players get paid far too much(as do all players really), at least with a salary cap players and agents will know the score. I'll be quite happy to see the end of the 25-35k a weekers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 £20m cap would create a more level playing field but it needs to be in line with a cap on top flight clubs hoarding players. If the players can earn more sitting in the stand at Chelsea then the agents will advise them to do that instead of playing in the Championship every week for a couple of grand less. Chelsea had 63 professionals on their books at the start of the season surely that’s counter productive. The whole game in this country needs a joined up plan not just a Championship wage cap that puts a sticking plaster over the problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly any rule change has to be hand in hand with reform in premier League. But the cap must be a % of turnover this is the only was to create sustainable clubs Leeds generating c£40m in this become shouldn't have to be limited to 50% where club with £10m income can pay 200% of income.

Salary cap should not be a fixed number it should be a fixed % of turnover and parachute payments should be abolished and instead added to money distributed across the EFL. Then you have a fair system. There should be a 3 year window to transition into the new rules to allow premier League clubs to arrange contracts around relegation Also make it a Premier league rule that all contracts (players, managers, coaches, committee hangers on, with annual salary over £100k) have to have a relegation clause in them so clubs shouldn't need parachute payments.

striker Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) No problem in theory with a salary cap, but has to be enforced for everyone, including relegated clubs from EPL. Is the proposed cap just first team, or reserve/youth set up as well and would this include coaching staff?....for example a 25 man squad evened out is only around £15k pw per player for £20m. Surely too low? Will potential loopholes such as signing on fees, performance related bonuses, image rights, third party payments (like Rooney) etc be considered?

Mitigates its losses by selling these on to highest bidder for whatever fee it can get. Premier League eats any remainder, which is what it is doing with relegation payments anyway.

cowl Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 In itself a wage cap is a good step forward, but it's no good if they're not going to be doing this in conjunction with the Premier League forcing clubs to insert a mandatory relegation clause into every player's contract. If the money in the Prem is going to be as vast as it is there has to be a way to manage the step down from the Prem. That's why they have parachute payments, but ultimately, it mostly offers a hugely unfair disadvantage to other teams in the Championship. The gulf in finances between the Championship and the Prem is huge as it is, and this will only make it bigger if the Championship clubs just bring this in by themselves.
