What if the 40% applies to seating only - no standing. That’s the death knell for a lot of clubs still with terracing.

Assuming season ticket holders get priority, it looks like I will have go to Yeovil for some live football until things eventually get back to normal.

It says the Brit who fell was in his 50s so couldn't have been one of the team. Anyway I'm sure there are lots of hotels in Marbella! |

You misquote slightly (which is how whispers start)...Quote: "...thought to be roughly 50." One of the backroom staff? Power?...  |

Lolz but would be interesting if Town are staying in or near the one mentioned. It does say 5 Star. So makes the likelihood a little closer. Unless of course, Power went for the *groans heard in San Sebastian* cheap option. I feel like trolling that group on FB but I have other stuff to do. |

The latest rumour regarding the salary cap is that, in L1, it will be a player capped to a max of £175,000 including any of the usual bonuses..
Seems strange as some bonuses cannot be guessed in advance - goals scored, clean sheets etc.

Do you have a link for this Aud? That does indeed seem a bit weird, promotions/goals/appearance bonus etc cant be taken into account before the season starts. Now if that was before bonuses I could understand it. At league 1 level that would be roughly £3.5k pw which I would think would be a struggle for a lot of players who have been earnign way more, like Will Grigg for instance up at Sunderland. Not against a cap in general as wages are way too high IMO for average talent players. Also if players sign contracts before this comes in then surely the clubs will have to abide by the contract length and amount? maybe thats why clubs are trying to tie down players contracts early. It will be very difficult to police if that is the case, some players on substantially lower contracts than players on existing contracts etc. |

An individual cap per player is absolutely ridiculous, and surely illegal. You wouldn't see it in any other industry.
A well-policed, stringent cap on % of revenue is all that's needed. No loopholes etc.

I agree totally, you can spend on wages what you get in, in terms of gate receipts and merchandise. Bigger clubs with bigger fanbases can then afford to pay players better contracts, its not rocket surgery is it? Any sponsorship deals would be spent on off the field stuff at the club like ground maintenance or youth/training set ups rather than being ploughed back into player wages as it is now creating a "rich owner" syndrome at clubs like FGR, Bournemouth, Salford etc. |

Will the Championship get a salary cap too? I feel like it could widen the gap between the 2nd and 3rd tier... a gap that is already pretty big. I think some players would rather play some games at a Championship club for more money than be a regular at a League One club.
