Borodane 6,246 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Well atmrgumented @Changing Times and I completely agree. I don’t think a salary cap is the way forward. It’ll just generate other “problems” like excessive sign on fee etc. the real problem is the agents who get paid by the clubs instead of the players and you have greedy agents trying to shift players constantly and creating u rest within the clubs and putting ideas in their clients heads. I don’t know how to combat that as it’s obviously their jobs but I do think that it’s the players that should be paying the agents and there should be a fixed percentage (if we are talking about introducing some sort of cap). But I guess that would just inflate what the players are asking to be paid. Link to post Share on other sites

Ok but then lots of people are 'overpaid' if that's your simplistic point of view so let's talk about them all. Just out of interest, above what amount of money is the point where people are being overpaid in your opinion? Not talkng about lots of people or actors or authors, we're talking about IN MY OPINION overpaid footballers, your ok with it I'm not so we agree to disagree pointless going around in circles.

GrimsbyBoro 1,959 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 My biggest issue with footballers wages is that the wages alone are over how much clubs generate in revenue - sometimes by ridiculous amounts. I have no problems people earning whatever they can but clubs are running terrible business models. It’s a bubble waiting to burst and one club going bust could have a disastrous effect throughout the whole of the game. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Klopp not happy Liverpool and Real Madrid allocated 20000 tickets for the Champions League final in a 75000 capacity stadium, so no doubt some fans will have to pay an extortionate price if they want to go always the same.

Old Codger 3,039 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Know it is only a small consolation on a poor day, but nice to see Man U get hammered again. can understand Liverpool and Man City scoring as they please but with their cash they should not be conceding four goals to the likes of Watford and Brighton. Their rebuild might be as big as ours.. but hopefully not as successful 🙂 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

SmogDane 4,052 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) League two was crazy yesterday Bristol Rovers needed to win and by at least 5 goals more than a Northampton win ...

Mission impossible is sometimes possible I suspect that the EFL will want to take a long hard look at that and why Bristol's opponents played a team full of kids and at the very least disrespected and devalued the competition. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Shouldn't be the case if they following FFP that the wages are more than income. I don't agree with salary caps, its all supply and demand and if clubs are making mental revenue because of the players then they deserve their fair share. Some people are on ridiculous amounts of money but they only working for short period of time and if clubs are bringing in the revenue off the back of these players then they deserve their fair cut. If the owners want to run the clubs at a loss that's their problem and not the players, just as it is with anyone else's employer. Sure its crazy money compared to what we get personally and the wages bottom ends of the lower leagues, but if your a huge part of why a business is making that money then you deserve to be paid no matter how big that cut is. if your not worth it you wont be paid that again or retained. I'd rather the players are rewarded than the clubs just hoarding everything, would only lead to another country not following the same caps and the best talent would only ship out to that league. Plus capping peoples wages is pretty much illegal. If a players not worth the money they pay them then that is on the club themselves. I think since FFP come in its curbed a lot of teams from taking the *** as much as they used to. Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,244 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 The club cover their operational costs with revenue. Football related costs are covered by Mr Gibson. Link to post Share on other sites
