Hamakua Pueo Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 21 minutes ago, MAL said: What is the punishment, if clubs don't adhere to it? Serious answer--I liked the others--but the serious answer is that there is no penalty, because you dont let it happen. The EFL refuses to register the players if the cap is exceeded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it now. He'll sign a team of players on 50k a week but he'll contract them as half a football player and half a tinned tuna factory worker 50% salary each. Bingo. 50k a week player but only 25k a week on the wednesday wage bill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUMBELOWS91 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 52 minutes ago, Lord Snooty said: I'd like to see a cap on wages and fees. But unless it encompasses all English League divisions it won't achieve anything. IMO. Not going to happen though is it, and therefore this makes no sense unless they can somehow address the issue of clubs coming down with a £40-£50m wage bill. The minute a salary cap effects the pulling power of the 50% of PL clubs with a chance of being relegated is the minute the PL will close ranks and ensure this can't work.

Good if premiership failures are made to keep to same rules as everyone else though. True, signing on fees would be used to bump up player income instead.

They aren't in the PL because PL clubs don't want them and they wouldn't get paid any more in any other league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houses, cars, sponsorship deals, endorsements etc etc. Under the counter payments, brown paper packages and meetings in motorway service stations.

Luke Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Was better when people just spend what they wanted Long as its the chairman's debt not the club what's the problem Get rid of failure payments This FFP Sh!te And let teams spend what they want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeonLeon Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) £25mill would look better. Gap squads to have a maximum of 20 over 23 year old players too. Essentially means every player in the squad could potentially earn £1mill each including bonuses. More than enough for a 2nd division footballer. BUT... If you’re bringing in a salary gap you absolutely HAVE to scrap parachute payments. Force clubs to negotiate their Premier League squads in to contracts that accommodate a £25mill wage bill should they get relegated. .

Ever the pessimist Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 They would inevitably give some concessions to relegated teams - probably a season to get their wage bill down (during which time they would have an enormous advantage). I would also expect wealthy clubs to pay players through things like image rights to get round it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

room0035 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 These rules only work if 24 teams adhere to then not 12-14 then 10 have extra income for the failure payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make it harder for newly promoted sides to remain in the Premiership. Players would know that joining a promoted side could lead to a big drop in salary on relegation. I'm all for a salary cap but every solution to the existing problem seems to further cement the closed shop in the Premiership. I think the whole of English football needs changing but it will never happen while the Premiership has so much power. Any changes will need to be brought in over a 4 year period to give existing player contracts time to run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) As is the problem with all these rules and regulations you get teams like Wolves who show total disregard and choose to ignore them, spend what they like on the gamble they will be promoted and upon promotion are no longer subject to the rules. Let's be fair, it's a pretty safe gamble when you have a league with the standard as poor as the Championship, a squad consisting of champions league players and most importantly a manager and owner who know what they are doing.
