A salary cap up here would be a better idea.

I'm confused how this would work. If there's a limit on how much they can pay their players, then what happens to the excess cash a club might receive (assuming the club is profitable)? Does that mean a mega windfall for the owners of the club with the money passing to the owner rather than the players?
It’s not disgusting in the way you quote it, of course we would all do and take the same if offered, but that,in my book, doesn’t make it right, the system needs looking at and changed because it will all come to an abrupt end and more than a few clubs will go to the wall. It simply lets the richest clubs mop up all the better players, a bit like, but slightly smaller scale, the two West coast clubs do in our league.
Yes which is why salary caps are so popular in American sports but it also means that clubs can direct resources to investment in things that improve the fan experience as well without adverse affect on the quality of player available. This is the reason that American stadiums are much more fan friendly places.

It appears to include everything, image rights, agents fees, the lot!
It will make it much tougher for bigger clubs like Sunderland to get promoted
The majority of clubs still won't be making much profit - the average turnover for 'constant' League 1 clubs seems to be £6-7m and they have the usual fairly hefty running costs on top of wages. They also tend to have large losses brought forward from previous years and that rules out paying dividends to owners even if they do make a profit. The bigger clubs that find themselves down there like Sunderland and Ipswich all seem to have negative Balance Sheets as well meaning profits will just go towards recouping losses and reducing debt. This cap is badly needed.
The gap between the Championship and League 1 (and big clubs/small clubs within the Championship) is surprisingly big.
It’s the way of the world,some people are making a fortune playing football ,or any other major sport,agents and chairpersons agree terms for the players.it is disgusting that people are using food banks,charity shops or breakfast clubs ,and parents going without a meal to make sure the kids are fed.it does not change the fact the rich get richer,and the poor get poorer.if someone is offered a massive wage or salary they would be mad not to accept it.right or wrong it will never change.
