By dragging successful clubs down to level of badly ran ones.

By not allowing those who have developed strong business models and thus high turnover from being allowed to spend a certain % of their income as they wish because the poorly ran ones can't match it.

Why is wage inflation a good thing? How does paying players more equate to improving?

Because he said so Bill

Well you don't agree with getting rid of the ceiling amount. Thus agreeing to a shackle.

I refer you [url=http://viewtopic.php?t=391872here.[/url

What clubs have been dragged down? How? I don't see any successful clubs failing.

Woo hoo a ' link '

So the cap's not working then? May as well scrap it.

Surely an Oxymoron

You misunderstand. In reference to Smokey's idea I suggested that other clubs would need massive financial input, otherwise the strong clubs when the changes are implemented will always be the strong clubs.

Competition could not be achieved otherwise. The other clubs would not have the luxury of time (which you agree is necessary to develop new Airfix, sorry, business models).

Your superclubs will attract players who want to win things and in addition be able to buy the cream of the emerging talent at the other clubs, thus retaining their position and consequently, stagnation of the competition.

I'm glad you agree that the no clubs have been dragged down by the cap. Clearly as the cap was never intended to (and would never) drag clubs down I don't think you can say it is not working for not doing that.

We'd have a small number of clubs winning everything without the salary cap?

And no possibility of changing that.

Why can't the smaller clubs develop? As I said earlier St Helens is no bigger a town than most others in SL.

And Lenny and Smokey would be happy bunnies

They are still bitter over all those wins W1g4n posted in the 80/90's

Do you think the Premier League is struggling? Or is it one of the strongest football leagues in Europe? Is it dominated by a small number of clubs and not have a salary cap? Do other clubs think they have a cnace of winnig the Prem? Has it harmed the other clubs attendences or have they been increasing?

I think that is highly likely, even more so than is the case now. What is more, as I previously posted, other clubs would be less able to build in such a fashion as to ever be able to compete, without massive financial input.

How can it be more likely than the 100% as it is now?

Then the onus is on them to attract this input. Who would have thought, money coming into the game is a bad thing...

By being 110%?

Nothing can be 110% likely.

because youre levelling the playing field from the successful down to the failure

So clubs should focus purely on attracting a rich sugar daddy to fund their way to success. Not on improving their business. I think that would be a bad thing.

Can you elaborate on that?
