    I think one or two Conference clubs will be spending more than £1.25m. If they get promoted, they'll struggle....

    Doing a salary cap on two of the three leagues is a ****ing joke and only serves to increase the gap.

    Great idea, horrible execution.

    Whatever the rules, there are three promotion places up for grabs and twenty four clubs fighting over them. All you have to do is be one of the three.

    Would it have been fairer to make it a percentage of income, or is that more open to abuse of the system?

    I actually assumed that's what it would be when I read the headline

    Presumably if there’s a salary cap then it’s actually reasonably easy to figure out a cap for the whole running of a club.
    Then maybe there could be a ticket price cap too?

    (I know it’s more complex...just saying!)

    I had 30 years supporting Hull City when they were one of the 'Have Nots' of English football. Then from the point Adam Pearson became Chairman they gradually clawed their way up to become one of the 'Haves', relatively speaking. And I thought how fortunate we were that this coincided with a time when there were unparalleled riches available - even a club finishing bottom of The Premier League earned an income which probably made it one of the 30 richest clubs in the world. We had 5 years of that. To have managed to turn back into one of the Have Nots in these circumstances, and exactly at a time when the Have Nots are in danger of being cast adrift, really is mismanagement on a colossal scale.

    Can someone send this to the Hull Daily Mail or every newspaper that see this as any sort of story. I think it says everything without going into the whys and wherefores and probably reflects the views of 99.9% of all Hull City supporters...

    They wrote the template on how to screw up a premier league football club. Brilliant work.

    Unfortunately once you get there it isn’t a closed shop And agreed it’s mismanagement or bad management on and off the pitch. Look at our league now. We aren’t even in the top three of biggest clubs in league 1.
    charlton
    Sunderland
    Portsmouth
    Bolton gone I know
    Ipswich
    Coventry ok gone up now
    All longer and better histories than ours
    And let’s face it it should be sheff wensdee as well
    Look at the pl
    Wolves were Division four not so long back
    Leicester sheff u Brighton soton palace have all been down here in the not so distant past

    we will just have to claw our way back up. Going to be difficult I know

    Same point I made on another thread about £0.5bn yet we're still in debt.....

    It's a failure of the Allam's yes, but also of the football system.

    That's the basic principle of FFP though, and that only favours top teams...

    Dick Turpin would drive a coach and horses through our defence.

    The problem with the salary cap is that it just widens the gap between the Championship and League 1. Promotion and relegation between League 1 and the Championship will be a perpetual yo-yo because of the huge gap in quality of players caused by a cap. If there is to be a gap at all, it should be based on a percentage of revenue/profits each individual club makes and not some average figure of '£1,700-a-week salary per player'. For example, why should Portsmouth, Sunderland and Ipswich be punished for having 20,000-30,000 crowds at home every week in League 1 when it earns them significantly more revenue than clubs that only have 2,000-3,000 crowds?

    It's also illegal for the EFL to restrict how much employees can earn without even consulting them or their union so I hope the the PFA are successful.
