compo 7,042 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Just been reading that UEFA them that are in charge of European football are about to make an announcement in relation to a salary cap , maybe they see that FFP is a joke but telling a company how much you can pay your employees and that's all players are is a bigger joke . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,630 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I've always been in favour of a cap, but, to be honest, I have no idea how it would be implemented. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 A salary cap has to be the most retrograde proposal yet. Who do these people at UEFA think they are? The world is drowning in self-important bureaucrats. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franc Ergs 1,651 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Uefa will set out proposals next month to replace its Financial Fair Play rules with a salary cap and luxury tax by next year. Under the planned system, clubs in European competition would be limited to spending a fixed percentage of their revenue — possibly 70 per cent — on salaries. Any clubs breaching the cap would have to pay a luxury tax, under which the equivalent or more of any overspend would go into a pot to be redistributed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseaBoy 2,441 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Have to dig Jimmy Hill up to fight this foolishness. Are we going to have salary caps for all professional sport? I can see this going to court and another defeat for Uefa. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biblio 148 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 It is a good idea in principle, no club should be paying more than it can afford and when they do it distorts the competition, but it can be easily abused. It was tried in rugby league and the big clubs were and are able to get round it. Wigan employed a player's wife as a secretary on exhorbitant wages for instance. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understand why principle is so ignorant of practice. It is a rubbish idea in both principle and practice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
