KenjiOgiwara Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Ancelotti calling for salary cap in the PL. Like most of us have said for ages. At least nice to see some big names are saying the right things. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had this conversation with the Man Utd, Arsenal etc fans at work. It would be a great plan in my mind, their argument was that the best players would all leave to non capped leagues. It would work if you made it the same for all leagues in the same continent though. I guess the other possibility would be shady owners managing a work around with sponsorship deals from certain companies if they played for their team. I think it is still something to consider.

lapal_fan Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I've been reading a lot of Milan fans opinions on the super league and almost to a man, it's not about the actual league in itself, it's catching up to the "greedy premier league clubs" who, in their opinion have way too much money, thus Milan cannot compete (which is true to a degree, especially after the last decade). I imagine this is also the primary motives of the Liga clubs, seeing Burnley get given £100m for finishing 17th, whilst they have to do their own deals with TV companies etc. In essence, the Milan fans aren't surprised the English clubs have backed out, because they've already got their cake and are eating it. A different perspective perhaps? Not the right one either, I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 23, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 23, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNLLoFBpLxI (That one can't be embedded for some reason.) Decent sized protest at Arsenal tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 23, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 23, 2021 And that's the thing we have to keep up - people know this isn't about teams or fans - it's about a handful of billionaires that need to hear it loud, long and over and over again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Salary caps in most US sports are far more complicated than just a fixed sum of how much a club can spend on salaries, depending on if it's a hard or a soft salary cap. It's a f'n jungle with designated players ( or Bird exceptions) and a whole lot of rules, exceptions, luxury taxes, draft penalties, mid level exceptions, bi-annual exceptions, rookie exceptions and so on and so on and so on and so on and... you get the picture. Trying to fit that in on a global sport like football and combine it with EU law (not a issue in the PL I guess) will be lets say a challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 23, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 23, 2021 It's a good sized protest - looks like a good thousand people - I wonder if the league are regretting the idea of 10,000 in for the last day of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 How about we don't decide how much a private business decides to pay it's employees, but instead hold the business accountable when they are £100miliions in debt? Want to pay Pogba £250k a week? Fine, but if you are running out of money you go bust - just like shops, IT businesses, Restaurants and any other enterprise. I'm a sole trader business - I can't spend over my means otherwise they take my house away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 23, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 23, 2021 Sky are reporting that the 14 other Premier league clubs have called on the owners of the six to sack their CEO's as they don't want to deal with them in future. That would be quite something! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 23, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 23, 2021 Some of the English clubs have described it as an idea, or a concept and said that they were sort of half in it and it was a half formed idea, still in planning and all of that stuff - but lets face it they didn't secure a loan of £3.5bn from one of the worlds largest corporate banks with an idea they'd sketched on the back of a napkin. Don't believe a word from this lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
