Is Wenger right?
Is AW right about top stars leaving the Premier League?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/foo...tars-away.html With this new 50% tax (not that important IMHO) and the collapse of sterling (important) - will the top stars head to the continent? I don't think your lower players will go but your top stars - I reckon they've had a 20% pay cut in Euro terms in the last 12 months - will that be enough to push some players to take that step |

We were discussing the tax hike yesterday. Footballers have so much power that they will just demand a wage after tax. Ergo you will see a £200k a week player in England in the next couple of years. Hopefully it will be Kaka
Can't see it driving too many players out. Sterling will pick up again eventually and only the really greedy will be put off by losing a few grand when they're earning so much. I fully expect Jimmy Bullard to be a Vallodolid player next season though. |

I doubt if we'll see any kind of mass exodus, considering the mess that most of the Spanish clubs are in and the relative paucity of financial resources in the Italian game. The Italian teams will probably become somewhat more competitive on the margin, but to the extent that it does have a major impact, it will almost certainly be the major Spanish clubs who are the greatest beneficiaries. Already they enjoyed a 15% advantage in the tax rate levied on foreign players versus the UK, and this will now increase to 25%, meaning that they will be able to pay significantly higher net salaries at the same gross level of expenditure. So between this tax advantage and the collapse in Sterling, the big Spanish clubs are certainly in a much stronger position than they were a year ago.
