you need a majority to pass things; the majority benefit not the few with a cap

The Glazer's would never agree. They're only interested in themselves making as much profit as they can

So they wouldn't support rules that would save them money?

Salary caps work well in singular environments. In the US it works because nobody else plays their sports at their level.

Rugby is predominantly an international sport so they control their players and keep the market singular by taking away your right to play for the National team if you go abroad. So the cap works (albeit at a fraction of the salaries).

Managing a worldwide football salary cap would be an impossible job imo. And if you didn’t do it on a global scale then you’d have players chasing the money - basically China of 3 or 4 years ago but to a much, much greater extent.

You'll still get a few chasing the money, but most will want to play in Europe. As they do now. And so what if a few of the top players chase the money? Would it ruin anyone's enjoyment of the game?

It’s their money; they can spend it on whatever they want as far as I’m concerned.

The majority wouldn’t vote for it. You’re deluded if you think they would.
