Uefa's plan to introduce a salary cap for players is "not the solution" to improve clubs' financial management, says PFA chief executive Maheta Molango.

This squad is capable of achieving the treble, however as we all saw in the swamp derby there are plenty of factors out of our control. But let's say we do 2 out 3 and it's a couple of days before the CL final. You can guarantee there will be a surge in MSM content along the lines of "A senior PL official has stated, off the record, that the charges against MCFC are progressing so well the PL are confident of significant sanctions...". They have weaponised the allegations to such an extent, they are compelled to use them as and when.
The prize money for doing the treble would be well over £100m, the PL cartel will be dreading us doing it... With the possible sales of Laporte, Bernie and Philips added to the budget, we could be in for a huge transfer window !!!

How the hell do they create a fair salary cap across countries with different currencies, living expenses, amount of games & playing in different countries all built into a legal contract?

Are they saying you can’t pay more for playing in the premier league than the Macedonian league? Or will it be you can’t earn more than £500k per week? If so, how does that make it fair for 99% of clubs?

All it does is bring us closer to American style leagues with no promotion or relegation. There is too much American influence on the game and the day will come when finals will be played in American stadiums for American audiences and how you feel won't matter in the slightest.

I'd imagine it would be a maximum percentage of a clubs total out goings rather than X amount of pounds per player per week.

Simon Cliff who is described as the General Counsel of City Football Group, has been in post since 2009. He must be immersed in dealing with the charges on a daily basis, I can't imagine anything being of higher priority. Surely if the owners did not have absolute faith in him he would have been "transistioned" by now ?.

What! seems a bit harsh to chop his cock off

Not sure how a salary cap on its own will help. What's to stop huge signing-on bonuses to compensate? If it's not part of a wider set of rules, it could be an even bigger mess. Or am I wrong?

So it’s not fair competition, it’s about protecting certain clubs.

They have that already under UEFAs new 90/89/70% rules. Seemed to me he was talking about limiting pounds per week.

100% this

The whole process is a joke, this is a very serious matter yet there seems no public procedure which seems wrong and utterly bizarre from both sides.

To me this is the biggest scandal of all. Firstly UEFA and then the PL are able to smear our reputation by accusing us of more than 100 breaches of their own financial rules (some allegations are essentially fraud and false accounting). The process allows them to make these allegations without providing any evidence in the public domain and all subsequent deliberation happens in private.
UEFA didn't have a scrap of evidence other than some photocopies of magazine articles based on a handful historic emails. At least two of the mails had been fabricated and the full email trail (showing the crucial context) was never produced. The UEFA case was laughed out of court by CAS within hours and the wording in their judgement made it clear how they felt about the unjust process.
Now history seems to be repeating itself with the PL's unfair process. The only purpose of this politically motivated witchunt ("described as a drive-by shooting by the Red cartel" by football governance expert Mark Hendrick MP) is to damage City's reputation with the help of a dishonest media.
