Re: Premier league spending cap agreed
"The players union are opposed to any hard cap on wages."
Fair play, it's not like they're paid hundreds of thousands a week and the reason that clubs are d*cking around trying to find evermore ways of bankrupting themselves is to afford their wages...
The culture of the PL is abhorrent right now and it's ruining the leagues below. Just look at the mess Championship clubs are getting into to get a hold of the PL's riches (which never seem to be rich enough). It's like fecking Tolkien's ring.
it’s ridiculous and it’s the current incumbents of the premier just looking after each others interests, surprise surprise
it’s quoting a spending cap (on wages, transfer fees and agent fees) of £500m per season… per season
the rules and imposed penalties should be linked to losses absolutely - what’s wrong with that, other than not being able to
police it properly which is where it’s failed
all that’s going to happen with these new rules are yet more inflated transfer fees, agent and player pockets - which are already preposterous sums of money already
and the money just swashes around mainly between top flight clubs in UK and Europe
interesting to see AVFC reject these plans, given their spending pattern for decades i thought this would’ve been right up their street especially as it seemingly removes restrictions that are “holding them and Newcastle back!”
i wonder what the league will look like in 10 years time
