"Soft Embargo" and "Up to 12 point deduction" which will probably mean that the EFL will try and impose a lower point deduction (somewhere from 3 - 6 points I'd imagine) but will be contested and will end up being yet another fine. Positive move though and shows the EFL are trying to show their teeth | | | |

Thats not The EFL's fault though is it? That's football as a whole. And if thats the going rate for a Championship footballer... Football wages are now well out of control. I've advocated for a long time that we FIFA introduce a wage cap at the top level of £5000-£10,000 per week, which can then be topped up with playing and performance related bonuses. That way, your top players can still earn the big bucks, but they'd have to perform to get it, not just sit in the reserves taking 70 or 80k a week. | |

Don't think they're in financial meltdown, the embargo was put in place as their losses were too high to stay within FFP rules. | | | |

It is football on a whole accepted. It may be the going rate for players, check. However, if clubs are going to risk their future, the going rate for players is going to have to decrease. Sure, it will effect Birmingham short-term / maybe medium term - however is caving to players and paying them £10,000 p.w wise when they can't really afford to do so? I'd rather have ITFC and tell players where to go, than cave to their demands. | | | |

Well, if you're allowed to lose £39 mill over three years ( correct me if wrong ) and they've gone over that - I would call that financial meltdown / unsustainable and moronic personally. | | | |

True, but it's balanced with income. Sure Derby have spent money, but they have also received over 10m for players like Ince, Vydra, Hendrick and Hughes [Post edited 7 Sep 2018 20:33]

I guess so. I just thought Birmingham shopped in the same sort of market as us though nowadays. | |

Hope it happens though, if only to prove Town have been right to be stringent. Clubs should be able to run within their means and it's insane that it has become the norm for cubs to run at such massive losses. To the point some fans scream foul play when owners aren't throwing in even more cash on top of already horrendous losses. | |

If the owners can afford it - and I've seen nothing to suggest they can't - then it's not a crisis on that front. However, they appear to have counted being able to get away with going over the FFP limit and been caught out. | | | |

Yes, as I say, they seem to have a lot of money, they've just overspent in FFP terms, which are assessed on an ongoing basis these days. | | | |

Sure that was the reason why there isnt a wage cap according to people here. And calm down, you sounded VERY angry in that post. [Post edited 7 Sep 2018 22:58]

I'd rather have a salary cap for the entire squad, which might help prevent clubs hoarding players and loaning them out. If the cap for the Premier League was set at a level where every club could afford it (based on tv income), it would hopefully make for a much more competitive league in the long run. | | | |
