EFL wage/squad cap

by **Andy D** » Sun May 24, 2020 7:43 am

a lot of talk with this, with the EFL suggesting 1.25M for L1 Clubs a season to work with.

however this makes more sense when you consider the amount of players we’ve signed over the years that don’t even play, like having 5X Strikers when we only play formations with 1 upfront, Derek Adams even commented on this with the squad he took on being unbalanced

Meanwhile, clubs would be given a vote on the introduction of maximum 20-man squads.

If approved, it would mean only 20 senior professionals at each club, with eight homegrown players - those produced from the club's academy system - within that group.

22 ideally for me, you only need two players covering every position.

A salary cap and smaller squads have been a long time in coming and about time to....but will it get through :?:

At least for us it wouldn't be such a hardship with a salary cap I assume due to the fact that we have the smallest player budget of other clubs in EFL2

Of course some clubs could try to get around it possibly in a way to that of AFC Fylde where the club owner actually is employing AFC Staff in his business. Could suddenly be a growth in Marketing and Promotion personnel employed both by the club and by the owners company on an equal P/T basis.

On the matter of finance , Alan Nixon journalist has tweeted that the Premier League are talking about each of the 20 clubs chipping in £10 million so £200 million in total to be split in one off payments to Championship clubs (£6.6 million each) League 1 clubs (£1 million each) and League 2 clubs (£666,000 each)

It would help MFC to plug the gap of lost home games and other revenues to a certain extent.

Interesting.

I'm curious to see how this impacts clubs. Obviously we're probably going to be affected least.

Next step is doing away with parachute payments.

About time too....just hope that if club(s) don't abide by the regulations that the EFL will punish them but can see a number of under the counter payments being made that never appear in a clubs accounts..... :cry:
