For a wage cap to work, it would need to be global otherwise players would just go to a country with no cap.
If it were global, though, I would support it

Agreed with 'Nani's Balls'..........
20k p/w MAXIMUM imo. I'm not a poor man or a jealous one but the sums that players are paid are obscene when the fans are the ones constantly paying for it one way or another.
I'll happily accept 20k every week for 10-15yrs as i'm sure many here would........................
In 1992, Premier League pay was 3.7 times more than the lowest tier. In 2010, it was 30 times

Obscene.
Make them pay us for the honour of playing for Arsenal
That is a distressing stat, TUX.
"Now the question is do we just accept this as the negative consequences of poor management and a gamble that hasn't paid off, or should there be regulation put in place to prevent clubs getting in this sort of situation."
I would argue the regulations already were in place, in the fit and proper persons test. The problem was that it was neither fit or proper.
The first thing they need to stop is staggered payments in my eyes.
No need for a wage cap, just follow the German model.
Job basically done.
Look at the end of the day though if a club lives by the sword it dies by it an all.
Pompey got effed, clubs like city didnt. I don't feel sorry for clubs it has back fired on, it was there choice to do what they did.
Leeds exactly the same.
I personally am all for rich bloke ownership, withou it currently utd would have no completion.
The new Premier League FFP caps wage increases to turnover. Its not a cap on individual wages, but it does in essence put a cap on expansion of the overall wage bill.
A wage cap would be wonderful but to enforce it would be to totally revolutionise and dismantle the whole game and start afresh. Thats just my opinion
Clubs spending billions is perfectly fine if they have an owner like Abramovich or Mansour to cover it.
Unless you're a Man Utd fan then you'd have to say that the Premier League would be much poorer had Abramovich and Mansour not come along: United would just stroll the league every year like they have this year.
I think FFP kills aspiration. Certain safe-guards should be in place though to protect clubs from what happened to Portsmouth.
Clubs can set their own wage caps.
Slightly missing the point?
That is a distressing stat, TUX.

'Someday'.......................absolutely bud. Should a player wish to earn more then he should pursue his sponsors...................not the fans! And yeah, i agree with the above comment

Absolute hogwash.
Before the days of Roman and the sheik, we were still successful but there was usually only a point or a couple in it between us and Arsenal. In fact they won it 3 times. Blackburn even won it once.
Sheik Mansour and Abramovich haven't dragged the rest up. They have only dragged their own clubs up.
They haven't been good for the league at all. Only for City and Chelsea fans.
See, it works both ways.
City stole all of arsenals players. Chelsea took Cole too.
I am sure if arsenal still had most of their old players rvp would have stayed there.
swings and roundabouts

Who both were only able to do it due to investment from Danny Fizsman and Jack Walker. It is still the same premise, investment is needed.
