Advisory role for owner's company. 1 hour per week for megabucks. Seems to work for (mostly) Tory MPs.

Quoted from jamesgtfc
In my opinion, some of the bigger clubs will spend on infrastructure but in the main it will push other costs up.

Lets say the salary cap is set at £900k but we currently spend £1.5m on wages, we have a £600k surplus compared to a club like Boreham Wood who spend £900k or less on wages.

How we spend that £900k is down to us so we might be willing to pay a specific player £2k per week whilst other teams might think he's only worth £1.5k per week and there will always be an element of that.

When it comes to players under contract elsewhere though, clubs are going to know that we have a £600k burning hole so £50k for the next Omar Bogle becomes £250k and so on. Clubs will start putting wives in well paid jobs for doing next to nothing, to compensate for what they can't offer the player. Unsure if signing on fees and taxable benefits like cars, houses etc are within the £900k limit but I can see those increasing if they aren't.

Any salary cap in my opinion should be a percentage of turnover with loopholes that allow owners to inflate that income with over inflated sponsorships closed.


You make some good points about wives and partners. Any item bought in the wife/partner's name is their property and not the players, likewise the wife/partner employed to help, say, in the club office on £10k per week is not part of the playing staff. There's a colander of holes out there to be exploited if a club wants to.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Quoted from HerveJosse


We are not going to be doing that. JS has already expressed his support for this ‘levelling down’ in one of his Guardian articles


He’s said no such thing in any of the articles I’ve read.

But if you’re not bullshitting, as I think you are, post the link to the article where he talks about levelling down.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

He's spoken in favour of wage caps, although not stated what that means in his vision

So no talk of levelling down then?

The minute clubs launch legal challenges them we’ll see any wage caps lifted…

The 900k wage cap hasn't been confirmed. Clubs just voted in favour of it at an AGM. Remember, this same kind of cap was found to be unlawful when they tried it in the Football League.

At least one of the big spenders Chesterfield, Stockport and Wrexham will be in this division next season too so I'm sure they will be appealing if it impacts them.

If Boreham Wood go up then they’ll join Sutton as successful under spenders which would indicate that good recruitment and management is equally important.

Ps I can’t be ars.ed right now to investigate further back but I’m sure I’ll get shot down in flames for not knowing anything about football or being_thick
