Why is the English League meeting in Cyprus?
^ It was a Uefa meeting, of which the English league is a member.
im just thankful that my club (minus lee clark if i had my way) are a big club with big support and loads of dosh. bye bye tinpot clubs enjoy ur relegation battles!
I'm broadly in favour of the salary cap. I think it stops clubs over-reaching themselves and being bankrolled by rich owners who can leave them in the lurch with a huge wage bill and ruin the club.
Sensible clubs (like Stevenage) have already chosen to work only within their means and settled for slow growth and improvement within their means.
There are cons to the cap obviously, it makes it harder for small clubs to bridge the gap to the bigger clubs (especially important in league 1 at the moment) since their revenue is such that their wage bill is much less than the bigger clubs in the division, I think this is a small price to pay though to stop club being bankrolled for short term gain but eventually ruined by financial mismanagement, that is terrible for football.
What we need most of all, for fairness, is for the cap to be in place across all the leagues including Europe. Clubs who want to achieve success have to work hard on increasing their revenue streams to push up their wage allowance, that's as it should be rather than financing through debt or through an owner with rich pockets.
Sounds like an awful idea and will exacerbate the already diminishing standards in our once proud game.
Basically a bunch of t055ers come up with ludicrous ideas to justify their own uneccessary salaries and this is what they usually come up with, I think it's the same numpties that do the road planning and we've seen how that works out.
town cryer !
why would you want youre club to be exstinct? silly man tin pot clubs are what makes our leagues the best in the world ! now f........off!
leave it out mother ! he doesnt understand that huddersfield is a village inside leeds
is that right imbred varadi..

hudders have to share a town, and play second fiddle to a far superior rugby team
To be honest, wage cap or not the bigger teams with bigger attendances are the top teams anyway, we being managed by financial morons, are the exception, along with weeds. Wage cap or not Stevenage just would never get to the prem without incredible growth in attendance and therefore turnover, in which case their wages would rise too. I think what I'm saying is I'm all for wage cap, football club chairmen cannot cope with the job of looking after finances and are in need of stricter rules to ensure they don't ruin anymore clubs.
silly man ! i forgot that you where called huddersfield city ?
like i said f.......off and if you dont ill send our imre round to kick your f......... teeth in
Just signed up and see that nothing has changed from 606 to here. Feels like warm apple pie!!!
Anyone debating the point??
A salary cap is the introduction of sanity into a game which has had little in the last 20 or so years since the formation of the EPL.
Let's face it the EPL is a glorified first division but with oceans of cash for everyone to drown in (except the supporters, who just pay more). Most of the money generated by the pimping of the old Div1 into the media monster it is today has gone to agents and players. Mostly to players. Clubs have stared bankruptcy in the face and supporters have had the real prospect of losing their club for ever because of the unending greed of players. Players are killing the game. A wage cap is long overdue.
As for the 'unfairness' between big clubs with higher attendances and small clubs . Well there's many ways of generating income aside from clicks at the turnstile and big clubs being able to afford to pay more is no new thing is it? Based on the ability to pay these wages because of higher turnover is much fairer than the ability to pay wages based on the ability to acrue higher and higher risky debt, which is the current situation. I remind you the Glaziers didn't spend one dime of their own money to purchase Manchester United, not one red cent! They mortgaged the club, using the club as collateral. They pay Mr Rooney and Berbatovs unfathomable wages out of a stinking hole of debt of nearly a billion pounds. This bullshit cannot carry on.
Not just a cap on players salery that is needed though is it. Clubs need to be made to invest any capital left after spend on wages and essentials on facilities and investing in there clubs not just reaping profits like our cofin dodgers did. Agents need to be hounded out of the game also they are a bigger threat to the future of the game than Sepp Blatter
The main impact is that rich owners will not be able to invest in players wages or build an overly big squad.
The biggest inequity will be between the PL & the Championship. How will relegated sides with lots of players on PL contracts be treated? If they are allowed to break the Wage Cap then it is another edge on top of increased parachute payments. If they are not then they will have to release players on frees just to avoid breaking the wage cap.
Either way, this is not equitable.
No it isn't equitable, some clubs are bigger than others. They turn over more money so can afford higher wages and maybe as a result better players. Does this guarantee finishing above 'lesser' teams though? not always. It stops money men coming into the game, borrowing on the club to fund a kind of rich boys fantasy football nonsense , then buggering off leaving the club in a mess when they get bored or the 3 year promotion plan goes belly up. So yes maybe clubs will have to use a parachute payment to offload ex prem players who couldn't keep them up. So what , they failed. Players naff off, club stays solvent and rebuilds, and doesn't do what many do, go bust and drop like a stone through the divisions as a result. bring it on. Sanity at last.
