Well we shall see as certainly its been given the Full Green Light ~
We as a club seem already to operate within it ~ tho from what I can gather other clubs ~ and particularly The Championship don't get fully behind it until 2012/13 Season ..
From what I can tell A Club is only allowed to ~ Spend what they Earn which by my reckoning means No More Borrowing money to Pay For Inflated Player Wages ~ Tho I'm sure the nitty gritty detail will give some degree of shuffle room ..
For the mathematically minded the details are here .. and maybe someone can make a better fist of explaining the implications of them better than i can in a post or two ..

As ever The Prem are not party to this agree/arrangement .. thus widening the divide ..
Questions maybe are ~
Is this a Good Thing .. ? .. Will it limit smaller clubs chances of taking a punt/gamble .. Will it stifle the future growth of the game .. Should/Would the Premiership ever adopt it .. ?
Salary Cap Agreed ~ Makes Lot o Sense ?

It would put more emphasis on the development of home grown players.agreed, but the bigger clubs can still attract the best young players,as they still have the best facilties and youth set ups.We are quite lucky at Town, as the club had the foresight to develop a academy so maybe we can compete but small clubs who have no academy can't.I can't see clubs pouring money into the youth set up as it doesn't give you a instant fix in 10 years, yes, maybe you may start to see some benefit but not instantly,some clubs don't have 10 years to wait.

ridiculous rule! it can be regarded as a restriction of trade!!
all its gonna do is keep well supported teams up there with them able to pay higher wages and getting the better players!!
survival of the richest/fittest thats wot i say!
blackburn,fulham,wolves are all in the prem league down to having a rich benefactor....soon as its our turn they wonna spoil it...NO NO NO

Hydy ~ Got yer P M tweet ta & have responded accordingly Not sure if there's a Message Alert facility on there that you have to switch on hence this post .. ?
Arterrier ~ On balance bearing in mind the importance it attaches (by rule Insinuation or varying Nuances) to bringing thru ones own youth ~ It Surely is a Swerve Step in the right direction .. Quite a big one i think .. Are you thinking along those lines too .. ? With Further tweaking to be done going forward .. ?

I'm not sure thats the case tezz69 ~ I get the impression from a bit o rule reading their are balancing technicalities allowing lesser attended clubs to spend a larger % of their understandably lesser income streams .. I'm no Contracts Lawyer or expert in the field but there'll always be ways n means n nods n winks of using various creative means of recompensing players .. Corner the market in brown paper bags is what i'd say .. ~ ~

I would agree Boots that developing your own players is a good thing and should be encouraged immensely but as I've said clubs with big successful youth set ups are already years in front of clubs who cannot afford to run big youth set ups that some clubs run.

You only have to look at the England team to see what the lack of investment in youth in this country is doing..then look at Barcelona who invested in youth many years ago...how long do you wait before you learn the lessons..The premier league is full of foreigners only because they don't develop their own (English) players...surely out of the tens of thousands of kids out there playing under 8's and upwards there are a few hundred who with the aide of coaching could make a very good footballer ? What is the alternative, more of the same...I don't think so. Too much money goes out of football altogether via players million pound a year pay packets...that needs putting back into then grass roots of English football, however long it takes.

Yeah i suppose...i agree with a salary cap period..ie say a max 2grand a week for all league 1 clubs..then the smaller clubs have the same chance of getting the top players!

Think you misunderstand 1969 its not a cap on earnings its a cap on a clubs turnover being spent on wages.So,no it won't allow clubs have the same chance of getting players as you say.

What it does mean is that if you have a sprinkling of home produced players in your squad, you can spend more on 'experienced' players ...otherwise you just have a load of average players and you get nowhere with average players.

yeah i know that arterrier...wot i meant is that if there was a max wage any team could pay across the board then yes i,m in favour!! but to base it on a teams turnover for what u can spend is a clear restriction of trade and would not be acceptable!! it would just keep large clubs large and small clubs small!!
if clubs cant work to their budgets and use common sence then they deserve to go to the wall!
prem clubs only stay were they are due to the large tv money they receive...they dont wanna share it fairly with us.....if hoyleovich,s money gets us there then we too can be self sufficient with larger crowds tv money etc..
we just need his hand to get there!!
these new rulings to me will stop town ever reaching the premiership
