GTFC all for it and Scunny against it if I remember rightly. Hope they vote for a salary cap but I'm not holding my breath. When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

And better than that, it'll p1ss on Scunny from a great height. But Mr Day has already said that he wouldnt normally go above £1.5 million anyway, so that makes it even better if it stops other teams trying to buy their way out of the league

I know people think it will provide a level playing field but FFP has been circumvented successfully, this will be no different. I can’t see many teams actually voting for it, why would they? It’s not their fault they generate more income, get higher gates and so on. A salary cap is unlikely to stop a Bury or Macclesfield situation. Wages aren’t the only reason teams perform better than others, facilities, training, coaching, ambition, they all have an impact. I wonder if this would have been tabled had we not just had a pandemic? 'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

Madness

Madness No but if we perform that well and make silly money (for us anyway) you shove the excess in an offshore account (metaphorically) and then when we get promoted we wouldn't have money worries for a season or two in one division higher, or even if we did remain in League 2. Either that, or put the rest towards a new ground. And Scunny would STILL be moaning.

I really don’t see how salary caps at this stage will actually be effective but some clearly like the idea. All about opinions I guess...
