I propose they do a wages band type thing in football, depending how long you have been in the game. The younger lads regardless of how good they are get the lowest and people like Giggs will be the highest earner as they have been in the game on contributed more.
Actually sounds a shit idea when i think about it. |

a club maximum would be a good idea* - you get to spend 100m on wages, so if you want to spend 180k a week on one player you've got less to spend on the rest. so you can have a shit load of good players or a few excellent ones *it would never work, in the same way that a wage cap wouldn't work. the club would just find ways round it to get the players in - houses bought by the club, cars, school fees etc. |

Every time it gets suggested, people come out and say it will never work blah blah EU law blah blah. In US it works and works perfectly. For ex, take lebron james. He is the best player in the league but the teams that can bring him in ( because of salary cap ) are teams that haven't won the league for a long time like new jersey nets or knicks. But here in football when a world class player leaves a club there are maybe 3 or 4 clubs in the world where he can go. I would first of all like player transfer system to be completely changed. It should not be based on how much money is given at all. That is the only way when smaller clubs can sign good players. |

salary cap kind of works in rugby league
and it has made the league a bit more of an even playing field the clubs also get to waive a certain percentage of a players wages (50% iirc) when they have been with the club 10 years I remember seeing Sugar being interviewed not long after he adicated at spurs and him saying that the business models just didn't stack up and weren't sustainable long term |

As you well know, in Football each nation has its own governing body their FA In Spain, the govn. made an act of parliament to allow reclassification of land useage just to help Real get a bit of coin for selling a previously non-commercial site (their training ground) as land suitable for commercial development increasing its value by a couple-hundread million! In Spain the FA/La liga allow clubs to sell their own TV rights meaning Real and Barca earn 10s of times more than clubs in the same league.... If the English FA said 'Oh were going to introduce a salary cap' can you honestly see the Spanish FA saying 'oh go on then we will do the same' or can you see them rubbing their hands with glee that La Liga is gonna be able to attract all the top players from England even more easily It will never work because it CAN never work unless you have one competition run by a company such as the NFL |

a wage cap could be brought in through collective action
or it could be brought in by uefa rule changes regarding competition entry or it coul dbe brought in by one league, or one club, taking unilateral action perish the thought eh |

The issue is restraint on trade etc. I don't know though, I'd guess that even a tempered salary scheme in the Premiership or La Liga would still be able to keep most of the players on really good wages. |
