Vote: Football League salary cap?

[robf]

League One and Two clubs look set to vote on salary caps in the coming weeks. The potential proposals include a squad budget of £2.5m in the third tier, while League Two clubs would be given a budget of £1.25m.

Is it wise to have a budget cap to stop clubs overspending or is it a waste of time as clubs will find loopholes. 

Have your say in our vote...

[Andy Proctor]

Yeah I think there should be a salary cap but think it should be slightly higher and be 1.5m for league 2.

My club almost went to the wall on at least 2 occasions ....have sold many players to teams above them inc premiership. A level playing field if salary cap arrives ....we have also lost players to non league clubs paying more ? This would also end .

Rules are there to be broken and greedy clubs will always find loopholes. Add to that the authorities rarely act when necessary, choosing instead to turn a blind eye.

It's a no from me.

 

[Valiant62]

Yes from me and regulate it properly to prevent rules being broken.

It would be good to see a day where football achievement is earned again, such as a skillful manager with a good footalling brain achieving success. Rather than your success going by how rich of an owner you have.

They should look at each club separately and set a budget accordingly not just 1.25 million for everyone

[Tim vlf]

No salary cap for me! Every club is different

A salary cap should make it easier to compete with teams in the same league but will affect relegated / promoted teams badly. The only way a relegated team from the championship can go from a 20 million to a 3 million budget in league 1 is to have a relegation clause in player contracts. Which means promoted teams from league 1 aren't going to be able to sign good players because they won't sign for a team who has a higher probability of relegation and a massive pay cut the following year.

Also essential to curtail parachute payments, especially from Ex Prem  clubs like Sunderland.

Clearly football owners can not regulate themselves in the main so yes 100% in support of a cap

It's difficult to comprehend how 1 club can have 35 million and the rest get 1 million each.
