Premier League meeting to discuss salary cap?

[bluenova]

Wouldn’t matter now, but the cap is to get it under control because annual wages ten years ago would of been 200m max ten years later it’s around 350m! so cap it now on the bottom teams tv money means unless the tv sold rights go up the clubs annual wages won’t go higher than 500m mark..

But ten years ago, the TV money for the bottom club was only about £40m.

TV money rising is the main reason that wages have gone up.

Until one of the american red shirt clubs get close to the cap then it will be increased to 5x

But Shirley they're brands will be damaged without success meaning profits will lessen????

That would be logical to you and I but some of the most profitable sports brands in the US never win anything. The Dallas Cowboys are often given as an example.

 

[its a Barm]

They hurt there own brand by doing this the rest of the world lives the prem loves to watch the best players it won't happen in my opinion.

 

[Grassland Blue]

Level the playing field so the yank clubs can compete, every dirty trick in the book ;)

Methinks you're a bit of a cynic!

;- )

 

[give it to gordon]

All the best players will just go elsewhere. This is very short sighted and ill-thought.

I dont follow the ladies game that much but isnt that the case in the ladies game. A wage cap brought in and all the best players went abroad and the standard dropped here ?

No country’s governing body would independently put restrictions on their clubs that would make them less competitive in Europe unless they had no choice. The FA have a choice.

This is all about American ownership who want profits, we’re generating income to invest in players and wages.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

The PL from day zero built their business model on a strong Rag's team competing with the Tarquin'', the Chav's and the Dipper's.

When that started to go South for them they tilted the table again with some subtle and some not so subtle rule changes. Their day zero business plan hasn't changed, but in recent years we've been a massive fly in their ointment.

They are desperate to get the Rag's back to winning ways, but with these ever desperate rule tweaks & changes they are going to end up burning the whole thing down.

It's not The FA though, it's the Premier League. And that's effectively a "governing body" made up of the 20 clubs' owners.
