Vital Champions League
Apparently all the L1 clubs are voting on a 2.5m wage cap today.
Not heard this mentioned at all considering it directly effects us and with admin effectively running the club they will have the final decision on our vote - if we are even allowed one
I'm all in favour of capping wages in principle but capping L1 at such a low budget without doing anything with the championship and the Prem in tandem just means they are just widening the gap and making it harder for teams to build a side to compete after promotion.
I think the proposal has a good intention but hasn't been thought through well enough. I see this as making a gulf between divisions and making the Championship into Premier League 2 - it makes no allowances for revenue streams or player sales and if you have an ambitious owner willing to spend you cant and the average wage will have to be so low that you have no chance of getting players to drop down a level as their average salary will be something like a tenth of what it was. I think it should be rejected and tweaked to included other factors - the money is killing lower league football but this is throwing the baby out with the bathwater and going to kill the lower leagues in a different way in my opinion.
