    This would kill the PL.

    Why not take a page from US and give preferential rules in transfers to teams that do not win as much? The money is still a huge factor but for example, more access to young players, longer transfer periods for lower clubs…forms of motivating behavior that dont affect worldwide competition.

      but what does “not win as much” look like?

      you can’t have some sort of draft system because the bottom 3 teams get relegated, which means the championship is unfair

        Theres a preety clear divide in teams that win and those that don’t. Past 4th place, some sort of benefit system enters…imagine that bottom 8 teams can get transfers done for twice as long.

        Just random ideas I didnt think much, but I do believe there is more to be done on that level…instead of weird financial rules that always get circumvented or could just hinder professional competitivess.

    Not a fan of this, there’s loads of money in football and what this does is ensure that money goes to to Billionaire owners instead of the players.

    Let the players get paid whatever they can get. This only makes the rich owners richer, no wonder they want it.

    Salary caps don’t aid parity, they just screw over labor for the sake of billionaires’ bottom line. It’s a myth owners tell fans to get them to be okay with it.

    "Revenue sharing* is what creates parity. Call me when the big European leagues starting doing that American-style.

    The only reason the premier league is attractive to players is the wages (sorry guys, it was never the dream of Mo Salah to spend his days in Liverpool weather) and the premier league is not suffering (yet) from lack of competition.

    Weird take

      Don’t agree with the first part, even if you don’t take into account wages the PL is still as attractive as any other big league outside of La Liga

      Yeh we don’t have the best weather granted but don’t tell me the UK isn’t one of if not the best countries to live and travel to play top flight football.

        To live not, I am pretty sure most players love warmer and sunnier place. But clearly to leave is not that bad at all, specially London.

        And of course Premier league is one of not the best league in the world. But it partially because of the league being able to attract talent with very high wages. The argument is a bit the chicken and the egg here I reckon

    Players union won’t agree. The big clubs won’t agree. And it won’t stop off the books payments either, just like it didn’t stop Saracens in the rugby PL with their salary cap.
