This needs to be UEFA wide. As for now, its like Boxing without weight classes.
Salary caps suck
@@albertmoreno6408 agree,, why you so mad everybody wants to watch the good teams, that your idea is lets have no good teams... then nobody will want to wantch any teams,,, it will be hockey without the violence
But even with boxing weight classes, the premier League would be equivalent to the heavyweight class, which has no weight upper limit.
Players unions will never agree to this. A cap always results in players being paid way under their value and more money going into the rich owners pockets. And owners investing as little as they can into a team since it will always be an automatic profit machine.
Why should other leagues be punished for the wrong choices of PL clubs. Would be unfair. PL clubs ceated this discrepancy on their own. This is a PL internal issue.
lets all be honest here, they wont hold pep and man city accountable for this spending cap. they will find a way to go above and the league wont uphold it against them
Why only focus on City
Why ppl always mention Pep lol others spend more Man U spent more in last 5 years,if ppl think Pep is winnin cuz of money they're absolute morons
U talk gerbtish‼️🙄😆
@@tonisosic5075People are going about it the wrong way.. it's definitely not Pep, but you genuinely cannot deny that Manchester City have done some shady things. And im saying that I think the best players want to join the best teams.. so they are joining Manchester City for the same price as players like Anthony 😢.
United has been outspending everyone else for decades but people only cry about City.
let's introduce better referees
Imagine having la liga ref to deal with
Imagine
There shouldn't be a UEFA-wide spending cap. At least not among all the top five leagues. PL made this whole financial overspending an issue themseleves, they should now also deal with it on their own. Anyything else would be unfair. EPL clubs are the ones who don't respect FFP.
Real, Barca, utd, lfc, bayern will never agree.
Spain already has a hard cap. Ask Barcelona
@@russellward4624 It probably wouldn't be as strict and bad as Laliga's, and fan owned clubs like Real, Barca, and Bayern would welcome it.
Bruh this spending cap just ensures that only the existing top clubs keep winning. Ffp will be fine if it's enforced properly
@@russellward4624This will make EPL become echo chamber league and just jerking off each other while barcelona n real madrid will use big money to attract the biggest talent in the world.
Remember, there's not many mbappe, halland, messi or cr7, and people watch these generational talent players play.
Thanks for this
Not happening. Money still rules the world
Jesus rules the world , don’t get it twisted
How will this work??? Someone explain 😅
No. Also, we fully expect City to not be punished for their 115 charges so who cares about these rules. Will only apply to certain clubs
A salary cap can also generate more profits for stakeholders. A byproduct is then it could make the EPL more competitive. So it could be a win-win for fans and owners...but not for the players lol
that's just feeding saudi lol
More competitive or mediocre?

1. MLB does not have a salary cap and the players union does not agree. NBA and NFL have to use 90% of the cap (salary floor)
2. Why is there a salary cap when there is a relegation system?
3. Why aren’t players’ salaries disclosed?
4.4. Players will move to the US or Saudi Arabia
mediocer in 3uropean competitions PL teams will get slapped and ultimately no elite player would want to play in PL and other counteries would gain more fans and more views.
may be Saudi league would get huge advantage cz of this.
Relegation makes this difficult though and I LIKE RELEGATION.
This better not dissolve the 115!
This isn't the solution that fans think it is. It just means that the financial restriction will, on occasion, push an elite talent from the English domestic sphere.
If you are the type of fan that only cares about your side, that doesn't want your hated rival to potentially pull in a galactico-type of talent, you may think this is a step forward. But if you want to be entertained by the best the planet has to offer, this is nothing more than just a way for club ownership to keep costs in line. As such, this kind of restriction potentially pushes a big name with big tricks n' flicks to the other domestic leagues. On top of that, if you're a Utd supporter, you should ask Toronto Maple Leaf fans or New York Yankee fans if they like their historic sides not being able to spend bank, money spent to capitalize on their heritage in the sport, to attract the best.
Long stretches between championships is the reality for those colossal sporting brands. Now, shareholders, stakeholders and the Richie Riches that sit on club boxes love salary caps, even when it can lead to their colours being uncompetitive at times, unable to cover themselves in the glory to the same degree that their supporter bases became accustom to. Those rich biatches just get richer without the freedom allowed, encouraged, in many cases demanded by the match-going public, to spend mad money on the latest transfer period darling or generational talent.
Look, I get it.
If you hate Manchester City and their new place in the Prem and Europe, you're probably grasping at straws, desperate for anything to stem the tide of silverware and kit top badges that celebrates their success, putting you and your rooting interests in the mud. But for as much as a salary cap will prevent City from signing another talent for Pep to mesh into his team, whether that player is of starting eleven rating or just squad depth to help him manage the vagaries of many competitions and injury/form probability, a salary cap will inhibit your chosen side from also fielding a team with championship aspirations. But at least City won't win, right?
But if you put your jealously to the side for a moment, if you take the 30,000 foot planview that takes the heat out of rivalries and the malice out of a supporter bases' list-of-grievances, this kind of labour cost tactic won't do you and your treasured badge any favours either. Basically, the rich who own football teams and sit on boards and don't sing on the terraces just got richer, because now they don't have to compete financially, to invest the money they fleace out of you with ever higher ticket and concession prices, with ever more pricey kits and travel schedules that pushes your side beyond the measure of the typical football fan. This is hardly a win for fans or supporters of the various clubs of England.
A salary cap is singularly about the lining of pockets for those who use football as an economic status symbol. Real Madrid and Barcelona are laughing at you, England. And the owners and boards of the Engish Premier League are laughing as well.
All the way to the bleedin' bank.
Win???
Sorry it’s cost control for most clubs… let’s not give a pass that “anchoring” is for pure competitive reasons. When Chelsea spends crazy on transfer fees and wages, that’s affecting clubs like Bournemouth and Crystal Palace when they’re trying to make deals
Sports are an easy way for the billionaire class to make everyone under the billionaire class feel undeserving. But when you actually mingle with these people it's like we're all 2nd class citizens compared to them. And that NEEDS TO CHANGE.
If TSLA stock doubles every year then they do have infinity money. SO... let's examine the CORE ISSUES.
MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL all have salary caps. MLB & NBA teams pay a luxury tax if over limit. However, Man City and its issues are the elephant in the room. This will be interesting.
Difference is , US & CA are two countries with USA dictating terms to Canada.
In European Football , there are 5 major football countries , more or less equal , that would have to agree on a salary cap , UK , ES , IT , DE , FR --- highly unlikely !
Plus the Spanish and Italians are master crooks - the Madrid region even passed a singular law in expectance of the Mbappé transfer -- they reduced the top tax rate down to some small number to keep attracting the world's best talent and have them pay less tax on their wages.
Unless these 5 European countries would agree on a common salary , accounting & tax structure for pro sports millionaire players -- this is never going to work.
@@tk80mufa5 Each league should be able to negotiate on their own salary caps. As long as players unions can be involved, there could be a reasonable way to continuously look at wage increases while keeping clubs profitable. It makes no sense that teams have to hail mary for an entire season with signings only to have to sell everyone the year after. Having caps might actually slow down player movement and create household names again for certain clubs.
And this is a never ending debate. And let's go back to where this all started... Willie Mays. Where Mays was a star player before anyone got paid AT ALL! And Mays used to literally just ask the owner for money and the owner would give it to him, to the point that it turned into the business that sport's are today. BUT LETS EXAMINE WHERE WE CAME FROM...
Apple just put 1b into MLS... why isn't that going to players more? Where we need to hold some of these major LAKES OF MONEY like Apple, and companies like that accountable.
Wow.
Players are greedy enough already , somehow the stadiums have to be paid for as well.
Apple is actually giving pressure to MLS to spend more. They want as many eyeballs on their platform as possible and are threatening to pull back on some of their investments to MLS if they do not increase the pool. That was one of the major reasons why the owners came to a vote a few weeks ago to make some changes to the infrastructure.
So when Luton makes the 1st division the cap goes down? Eh.
I’ve been talking abt this for the longest time
I think people underestimate how much the promotion/relegation system enforces the top-heavy nature of most leagues. (There are other benefits to pro/rel, don't get me wrong, and closed systems like MLS have major weaknesses as well, but I'm well convinced that it's a contributing factor to how non-competitive most leagues are)
But the lack of equity in how much teams are able to spend on players is a VASTLY bigger contributor to the top-heavy nature of the game.
Man City will still find a way to spend more money
Yet the last five years its arsenal manU and others that are spending g more
Do your homework before you make a silly comment
@@Mannyr-bu7qvyour the one with the silly comment , check out man city’s negative number this season , all contributed from the past 5 years of spending
Man. City will just give money for the PL to look the other way.
What negative numbers?@@region3228
While this is an interesting topic, why did it have to get so combative between the two?
I don't know if a salary cap is the answer. I think the answer is to PRESSURE THE STAR PLAYERS to share their incomes. Until the rest of the locker room presses Harry Kane for his 200m dollar contract, we won't see change. And that requires DISSENT. And that's half of the issue. Everyone is curbing dissent lately and we need dissent. Especially with the owners.
Sadly when it comes to wages, it's the European way. Unless you work in the public sector, most people keep shut about their working situations, at least from my observations living in a few Euro countries.
Settle down.........
Bundesliga has a 51/50 law unlike the other leagues.......
Bayern München has a great winning culture especially in the past few decades .....
Other teams opt to sell their players off and treat profits over winning which affects the balance of the tables......
Good to see propositions of meritocracy over he who has the most coins wins.......
One x
Cap would be stupid, then it's just another NFL, NBA style league, and the Bayerns, Madrids, PSGs etc. will outspend them and snap up all the best players and leave the PL in the dust.
Don't take away the only thing Chelsea fans celebrate.
Premier league have been following the american system for a long time now. Particularly the nba model.
They’ll probably have a soft cap like the NBA. You can go past it but have to pay a luxury tax. $4 tax for every dollar spent over the cap.
And every time that Gates is mad... he acts like we all need to live in Mumbai.
What about the teams that don't spend just pocket the money? They're ok with putting mediocre teams out there and don't care about results or fans.
If prem has a spending cap wouldn't it make them less competitive in european competitions against clubs without spending caps?? They wouldnt be able to attract as many talents
And Nedum's making 200k/year and he isn't s*** in my gym.
And Seb's laughing but he's not... bc what is Herc's salary? 250k/year? Stevie and Craig pry deserve 300k. And then Skip and Stephan A think that they deserve 3m/year. So it's getting clown man.
When ManU was winning all these titles again and again and again. There was no greed or sjngle horse or boring or FFP notions flying around? 🤣🤣🤣
Don't do this , you cannot compete with clubs who has unlimited funds in other leagues, ex- psg
Which goes to show that the UEFA champions league is for rich teams only. It's not a real competition where all teams have a chance to qualify. All of UEFA should be doing this
1. MLB does not have a salary cap and the players union does not agree. NBA and NFL have to use 90% of the cap (salary floor) 2. Why is there a salary cap when there is a relegation system? 3. Why aren’t players’ salaries disclosed?
Punish the high earning clubs. The high earning clubs get a lot of revenue from foreign fans. No one is mentioning how the other clubs benefit from foreign viewership that the top clubs attract. Yet they want to punish the clubs that put in work to increase their foreign fan base.
But 10 comments later should the EPL have a salary cap? I don't think so. I think we need owners who aren't snobby NEPO's. Personally. Where if people weren't such d'heads about money, we wouldn't need to be having these debates.
The issue is really difficult because a lotta keyboard warriors hide behind money... and finances. Where if we all saw Muller being a d'head it would help fix this issue.
And lets shift from sports... should Google employee's be able to leave Google and compete? Where in that instance I SAY NO.
are they copying the nba system?
Yup. English football is copying American sports and has been for years actually they're now copying MLS with this move. This is actually soo ridiculous coming from them.They should never make fun of MLS ever again
@@ThomasSamoth-ls8edsalary cap will make the EPL more entertaining though. Bundesliga and Ligue 1 should do the same thing. Would create bigger competition in those leagues
epl teams wont go past qf in the ucl then
if this rule comes. say bye bye to elite players and european success to any PL club.
It means league will lose fans cz stars would be playing for spanish teams, French and german teams and PL would be like a championship level team against european giants in UCL, UEL etc
terrible idea
Ooof if this goes through, prem teams might struggle in the champions league.
And this further shows us that the UEFA champions league is for rich teams only. Which is a problem. And which is why salary cap is a good idea in Europe. Competition will be more pure
What's wrong with only rich teams winning?
@@user-Ic7hx7wd9c that means it isn't a real competition. Not everyone team has a chance
This will be the end of the Premier League.
David vs. Goliath is the appeal.
Leicester City winning the premier league, Arsenal currently pushing for the top, Leverkusen undefeated at the top of the Bundesliga is the appeal.
Chelsea spent more than any EPL team and they are below teams with a fraction of their resources. Everton spent a lot of money a couple of years ago, and it did nothing. If they think people will want to tune in to Nottingham Forest in first place because the teams that make the most money cant spend it, they have a surprise coming to them. Nobody cares about the NBA anymore because nobody cares about Denver Nuggets or any other small market team that has been winning the past few years.
Amazing the impact of the US. We have had salary caps forever, and now Europe is adopting it. Holds leadership accountable to making good moves and not just throw money at a bunch of players and let things sort themselves out.
They will turn it down
I like the Qatari's having infinity dollars and wanting to put a good team on the field. As a PSG fan, I wouldn't want that to change.
And 2 days later... Haaland will leave for PSG. So this is obviously a sticky issue.
Sucks for man city
Arsenal Chelsea manU Liverpool have spent more the last five years
Sucks for them more
YES this is good
Looks like big-time leagues are now taking notes from the MLS. Spending Cap will make the league so much better. Generally, with euro leagues, you always know between 2 or 3 teams who will win the league before 1 match is played. Rich teams will always end up on top. That's not entertaining to me.
In the MLS a bottom team can win the league in the following year because of spending cap. It creates balance from top to bottom. Which creates better competition.
But there's nothing worth playing for 😂😂😂 only a title and a playoff
@@m2k16 MLS Cup, Club World Cup, Champions Cup, Leagues Cup, and 2 Domestic Cups. There's a lot going on with North American football
@@dom4591 Club World cup has no prestige. What are the 2 domestic clubs and are they east and west?
@@m2k16 US Open Cup, which has been happening every year since 1914. And the Canadian Championship, which has been around since 2008. The domestic cups are completely separate from MLS.
Never gonna happen
How American of mls, being the ambassador of soccer communism lol
That's pretty stupid. All it takes to sabotage everyone is for the bottom club to lose money. 5 times zero equals 5 zeros
Incorrect, it’s 5 x the broadcast revenue not the profit or loss
well..Bundesliga will dominate then
About time to every club should have a spending cap .
WHATEVER THE F🩵🩵K IT TAKES TO STOP ✋🏿 MAN 👨🏼 CITY 🌃
DESPITE CHELSEA, UTD N LIVERPOOL SPENT MUCH MORE‼️🙄
Why are American accents so annoying on this app ?
“State owned” and “oil money.” You guys don’t even try to be professional. Just a glorified fan channel.
This is a donkey farmers league. The level is at an all time low. Only city will win the league now. This is now even worse than the bundesliga.
How is it at an all time low? 3 different PL teams have won the ucl in the last 5 or 6 years. Utd were 2 points away from winning 9 straight PL titles.
@russellward4624 ofcourse it is at an all time low. If an injury ravaged Liverpool were in the title race and City have needed help from VAR/PGMOL to win the title this season, then the quality of this league is garbage. City with all their resources should be winning this league by 15-20 points every season. The fact that Liverpool would have wrapped up this league by now if they had not been denied wins says it all. Also, Arsenal are having to play out of their skin to just be slightly ahead of Liverpool, but still have no chance of overtaking City. City and Liverpool have been sub standard. This all sums up this garbage league.
Was this a big deal when man united was dominating eyrope
@@Mannyr-bu7qv man united only ever dominated the epl, but not europe, never. What are you talking about...
@@Mannyr-bu7qv Man utd never dominated Europe.
Pretty pathetic that the EPL has to come up with such measures. Farmers league... If they actually go through with this, I don't think me and my friends are going to watch EPL any further. This is some ridiculous stuff. Maybe the big clubs should just stick to the rules and respect FFP, instead of now making it imposibble for lower clubs to catch up. You can't introduce this now after the top EPL clubs been able to invest for many years without any spending cap.
You don't understand ffp. The whole point is to make it uncompetitive. So that "smaller teams" can never compete and give utd, lfc, arsenal an advantage.
What do you think FFP does now? 😂😂
It’s impossible under the current rules for smaller clubs to catch the bigger clubs. Newcastle aren’t allowed to spend their money, Forest and Everton broke the rules just trying to stay in the league
When you have 100 ball knowledge 😂
Quit overreacting 😂
@@GIBBO4182 And you think a spending cap would actually help them? Why can't those clubs just simply break ffp like man city, chelsea do and get away with it?
CHELSEA FFP CHEATS IN THE MUD 😂😂😂
115 charges calling someone else cheats is hilarious
@@Kakashi63521 at least city are actually winning trophies instead of being a mid table team
