They do this and the league will lose its ability to attract the very best.
They should make player-club contracts public, as they are in the American sports.
How can you possibly discuss a salary cap when no one actually knows what the wages are? The Mail says we’re paying Haaland £1m/week. Everyone else says £400k/week.
I’m not as opposed to this as most people - although I would want safeguards to stop it being a transfer of money from players to owners.
But unless there’s some transparency brought in it’s obviously not about being fair.

The red shirts won't go for this so it's a non starter

It’s the greedy yank owners wanting more money. See what happened to the women, they all went to Europe. All of a sudden top teams are calling the shots and leaving the red tops struggling to attract decent players.
There will bet lots of sponsor deals and shamateur shenanigans if it is set low, and if set high it is pointless.
All contracts would need to change as you wouldn't be able to have bonuses which push you over, so would take time to phase in, and the introduction of marque players costing less against the cap if club and association trained etc.
Lot of backhanders to agents instead which end up going to the players.

They’re not bothered. If they can’t be in charge of the train set they’d rather break it.They do this and the league will lose its ability to attract the very best.
