Okay so hear me out here.
I live in France, and when a landlord wants to re-evaluate the rent, he has to use an index which limits the re-evaluation and prevents abusive price hikes in terms of rent to protect the tenant.
The same thing should happen in football for player contracts, an Index should be written down in the contract which would limit player power in terms of wage demands.
The principle is simple : Wage x (new index / old index) and the newer index has to be higher than the old one.
For example, let's apply this to Walcott : let's say he earns 70 000 pounds.
- The old index is 119.
- The index for 2012 is 140
70 000 x (140/119) = 82 000 pounds.
Get my drift ? This would limit player and agent power and stop football from going crazy.

So he would just leave and sign a new contract at a new club for say £100,000 and a new index

No, I'm talking about restrictions all over football. A freeze and a cap on salaries would be necessary. This would go hand in hand with FFP rules

I think our whole wage structure is floored.
The model currently is to provide wages at a blanced scale between all members of the first team. This means that players like denilson, who has never achieved anything and hasn't proved his ability is being paid 50k at the age of 20 on a long term contract. This example can be applied to all the fringe players in our team too (this is why it is so hard to get rid of them).
If they had the more conventional system the you would have seen the ability to be more manouvarble on contracts for the top players, while the youngsters and the backup first team players are on more realistic pay packets.

What I'm saying is, this idea would limit their rights for a high pay rise when they renegociate a new contract. Of course this would have to be used as a common structure in football world-wide.There is no way players should be allowed to have 200 000 a week. they already get good pay through sponsorship deals. Clubs should use available funds to develop the club and be taxed higher too. Too much money in football nowadays I'm afraid, it's getting disgusting.

That is what the club is trying to phase out! we are right in the middle of it so at a very sticky position.
I don't think the club want another Ade situation but saying that is Walcott worth 100K? are we not making the same mistake as Denilson and co if we chose to pay him it.

if the FFP rules work there won't be a need for other caps, everything will balance itself out.

Still a flawed (not floored) idea. You would have youth players signing professional termd for a similart amount and the ones who quickly develop into first team players like Wilshere will be restricted to a wage cap the same as someone like Lansbury who after several years has unfortunately not made it. There needs to be some flexibility to allow players to develop and not stop the club playing them to save money.

You'd have to change every single contract for every single player in every single country across at least Europe.
FIFA and UEFA don't care enough to bother enforcing that. It's easier this way.

Thats the thing who the fuq thought of that wage structure? Such a dumb idiotic idea, they proberbly thought they where being clever giving bentdner and cesc the same wages. Who ever was responsible, singlehandedly fuqed up the team.
