Sure fire way to send all the prem players to the Arab leagues.
Why would they do that though?
to aid competition
To aid parish’s pocket
More sustainable to have a wage cap, assuming it’s a percentage of revenue, and they’d still be able to outspend their peers on the continent because of the much larger revenue overall.
I believe UEFA is talking about bringing one in as well.
its pointless. they’ll just get paid through other means. shady sponsors,shell companies, payments to relatives etc. and then some championship club is gonna get fined to oblivion for doing the same thing but not having good lawers.
So basically every good player will absolutely go Saudi
ssuming it’s a percentage of revenue
would be terrible for non-big 6 sides
Really would depend on the % but yeah some clubs would be fucked, Ironically I believe Palace are one of the worst when it comes to Wage/Revenue
I believe UEFA is talking about bringing one in as well.
They are, over the next few years its going from 90% of revenue to Wages down to 70% once fully implemented. I remember reading Liverpool/City were around 65% with Everton coming in around 90 and the average of Championship was around the 100%
Cost certainty and a theoretical ceiling on player wages.
No idea how it could work in an open league system, especially when a fair chunk of revenue is dependent on results and other leagues lack it.
I always figured they’d lean towards an MLB-style luxury tax.
Would work well in a vacuum system.
Work well at what? Further enriching owners at the expense of their workers?
Maybe an unpopular opinion but the competitiveness of the premier league from top to bottom is fine. Especially compared to other leagues. It is sport after all. You can’t just try and start from scratch and make every competitor somehow equal.
Only 6 clubs in England ever having a chance of winning the league is not fine.
Just because it’s better than it is in Germany or Spain does not make it good.
American sports have us beat here, no two ways about it.
Even 6 is generous. Man City, Liverpool and maybe Arsenal are the only teams who have a realistic chance of winning the league.
I agree the competitiveness seems to be really strong at the moment, the massive increases in foreign TV revenue (which I believe is split equally amongst the clubs) has meant almost all sides can spend a fair bit, pick up good players from across Europe and actually be competitive regularly against the big clubs and not just win a scrappy counter attacking game.
I think there’s an argument to be made about splitting domestic revenue even more equally then it already is considering the big clubs don’t rely on that money at all and it would help the teams lower down the table a lot. But i’m also biased in that situation.
100%, we can’t just adopt the american system after well over a century for fuck sake. It wouldn’t fly.
think it is definitely on the wrong path
Long term gains but all the non Brit players would jump ship in a moment.
Would be a weird one for sure, if they rolled it out on a European level it would benefit more than just the Prem
Not a fan of this, there’s loads of money in football and what this does is ensure that money goes to to Billionaire owners instead of the players.
Yes please lol
United would be fucked wym
Go la liga on those mfers
The horse has bolted
It would just strengthen other leagues
Anti competitive bullshit.
Horse has bottled from the stadium on this one a long, long time ago.
Would be lovely sure, however I don’t see FIFA/UEFA making this happen (or even work! Looking at you FFP)
Let the players get paid whatever they can get. This only makes the rich owners richer, no wonder they want it.
Salary caps don’t aid parity, they just screw over labor for the sake of billionaires’ bottom line. It’s a myth owners tell fans to get them to be okay with it.
"Revenue sharing* is what creates parity. Call me when the big European leagues starting doing that American-style.
No way. This would open the door for other leagues to become more competitive.
Luxury tax system like baseball and it’s a uefa rule
