i'd like that tbh, universal wage caps, see who the big clubs are then
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Works pretty good in the North American leagues. Small market teams get TV money and other league revenue. Wiki says NFL is the most socialist sports league in the world. (Don't tell the fans)
Baseball is the only sport that doesn't have a cap.

absolutely nobody wanting to be a midfielder
----------------------------------------------------------------------
bonus on key passes, assists, tackles won % etc. stats like this are all tracked by clubs now. Like I said you get money for performing.

passing percentages, tackles won, games won, appearance fees, clean sheets, goals, assists, ground covered. Not all bonus would apply to all positions and there would be a lot more.

Players would actually EARN what they get. no more primma donna's

ronaldo - 1.1m a week
Van Dijk - 220k a week

better forwards always earn far far more in this case one of the best forwards in the world earns almost 5 time what one of the best defenders does
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For starters Ronaldo is on less than half that so your credibility is more shot than it already was.

Nobody is arguing that attackers are paid more than defenders on average. The point is that few professional footballers sign up to bonus based salaries and it is not starting anytime soon because it is bollix.

Unintended consequences!

It is in players heads how they are getting remunerated and do the wrong thing on the pitch.

The best defenders never tackle.

they still pas the ball, they still help win games. It would mean they may very well earn les than the forwards but thats always bene the case. also defenders can get 70k for a goal compared to a forwards 30k for eg.

Player need to deal with loads of mental barriers this would be no different, btter players make better decisions.

ok I was using wrong values, he still earns more than double. Rewrite the rules and the players have no choice. Dont wanna sign .... ok go get another job then.


Your right though it will never happen... I think it would improve the game massively however

I could see a lot if players taking shots in hope of getting bonuses instead of passing to a teammate who has a better chance if scoring.

depends on what the bonus' are set for .... doesnt just hve to be goals, assists, pass percentages, tackles, possession stats. Break it right down, bonus amounts can change dependent on positions they play.

Bonus' can be uncapped but the basic wage capped still.

I get it - Rangers signed Lunstram and in the eyes of certain fans he instantly became pash and worthless the second he signed for us.

And despite playing pretty regularly in the Prem for a couple of years nobody wanted to sign him except daft old Rangers.

And no championship team would want to sign a 27 year old player with decent EPL experience for a couple of mill.

All because......???

Aye thats right - he signed for Rangers

He hasnt set the heather alight and Gio doesnt seem to fancy him. But, come on, it doesnt mean he isnt more than good enough for a top Championship team in England for whom a couple of mil would be a pretty decent deal.

For what its worth I like Lundstram and he had a good wee run of games where he was MOTM and he contributed very well.

Time will tell if he can find a consistent spot in Gios new and improved Gers team.....but different managers have different views on players.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. he did start playing pash instantly after signing for you
2. Rangers are hardly paying more than any EPL or Championship team could easily match, so either he is a player who is more interested in winning 1 trophy in his life over money (fair enough) or no one else wanted him

3. No one said he couldn't go to a Championshp team, the point was why would a team pay a few million for him when they didn't want him enough when he was free given now he isn't playing regularly or well or even wanted
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe Lundstram chose to come to Rangers?

Ross Wilson stated when we signed him that 'there was a lot of competition for his signature'. So either he is lying or the assertion that no-one else wanted to sign him is pash.

Sometimes players like that idea of coming to the OF, playing in front of 50k, having a chance of the CL and in Lunstrams case playing for his idol Stevie G in OF games.

Shocking for some fans to get their head round i know - but Rangers is a big draw to some players.

Sure a few Championship teams could rustle up the £25k a week but if he had made up his mind to join the mighty Gers rather than say a Middlesborough or West Brom then its understandable.

And at the same time, if it doesnt work out there will be plenty of teams who remembered his good work for Sheff Utd. And its far from inconceivable that they would pay a couple of million quid for him even if he didnt nail down a regular place in Gios table toppers.

Look at Windass for example. He wasnt going to get a game for us. Went to the English Championship for £2m and has been a regular performer at that level.

the same could have been said about Dembele a few other clubs (spurs by all accounts) wanted him but he chose Celtic

They should do what Jim McLean did.

Give them a pittance of a basic and load up on win bonuses. For some of them, being in the team was the difference between paying the bills or not


And then fine them for trivial things so the club didn't need to spend too much when it was doing well

posted on 30/11/21

Think there was definitely competition for Lundstram, Sheffield fans were saying his head was turned the summer before he left us. Think he was sold on playing for Gerrard myself, so with Gerrard gone if we could cash in on anyone would be happy if it’s even 2 mil or so for him.

Wasn’t convinced when we signed him, and although he had a good run still not convinced. May suit the 4231 more though.

He has a lot of good attributes and good experience.

Anyone that says he only signed for us because no-one else wanted him is talking out their bahook. 60+ games in the EPL over two seasons available on a freebie?

Aye absolutely nobody apart from daft old Rangers would be interested in him

I am really not sure he is mobile enough or technical enough for Gio though.

But for an English Championship team pushing for promotion? He would be a good addition for a couple of million.
