Takeover

[Fulham Fallout]

Welcome to stagnation or relegation if that salary cap is confirmed.

The Championship is going to have to become sustainable.  It’s impossible for every club to be losing £20m+ a year.  It will become the new norm.

That is akin to asking clubs to impose a salary cap on themselves… the gap between the Prem and Championship will be become impossible to bridge under those constraints. At best you will have six or so clubs yo-yoing due to parachute payments whilst the other clubs watch on in frustration. At some point there will be a legal challenge to the FFP rules as they are anti-competitive. I appreciate why they were created but at the same time they are going to create an unbridgeable divide between the leagues that will see a Prem 2 become more and more of a possibility. I dread to think where that would leave us if we weren’t part of it.

As the rules become tighter on owners pumping money in to clubs….  How is the salary cap going to change the situation we have today, with yo-yo club having parachute payments? 

There are only a certain amount of players and the Prem clubs can’t have them all due to squad size restrictions 

Players have had it too good for too long and reducing salaries has been long overdue IMO.
