English football has never been stronger. Attendances are breaking records at all levels including non-league. The international team is at its strongest since 1966 and English clubs are dominant in Europe once again. Most of this is driven by the Premier League. Perhaps more money could be trickled down to smaller clubs from the broadcasters but the sheer global interest in the Premier League benefits all of English football. Welcome to Wrexham wouldn't have happened in any other country. Overseas investors are queueing up to pump money into clubs. Very few clubs are "going bust" and those that are are because of bent owners and that has always happened in football.The premier league is the biggest league in the world making the most money and is the richest it has ever been mate, what sort of an idiot wants to change that system?
The ones on the way down is the correct answer ;)
The premier league will never go for it. All the critisicm of us and money when the premier league was built on money. The other top leagues in Europe will see this as a grab to attract the best players again.
I actually don’t have a problem with it. I’m just sick of the whole blaming on cityUEFA are amost certainly looking to implement this as well. La Liga already has a salary limit on clubs, although it's not a flat cap.

Spending cap not a salary one, like a stricter version of FPP.UEFA are amost certainly looking to implement this as well. La Liga already has a salary limit on clubs, although it's not a flat cap.
I hope not, but in light of a lack of a European Super League, they may draw players (especially the greedier, get rich now tyoes; or posterior of career ones). Prestige is hard to build. History too (ask any old 15-year-old treble winning club).I don't see the threat of the Arabian league with regards to wages as a genuine thing.

Regardless of why. About time. Clubs can’t keep on paying players more and more wages, bonuses, and agent fees. There has to be a stop to this at some point. Apart from the PL and Real Madrid, where are the players going to get similar wages? Not Germany, not Spain, not Italy. If they want to go to the Middle East, play there, earn more money, let them.
As football fans we’ve been asking for a player wage cap for years. Now people are more upset about losing players instead of welcoming a wage cap.
