And we are on the wrong side of the fence.
Premier League 2 will be here soon, and we will be looking in from the outside |  |

It's not really a positive - we don't get to hear people saying the truth but now e do have to watch our owner flounder |
“But now we do have to watch our owner flounder”
No different to the last eleven years, then. |  |

Great.
Great great great.
So glad we're going into this season with Paul Lambert on a nice long contract.
What a brilliant job Evans has done with this club. |  |

Fact.
I heard the argument on TalkSPORT suggesting it levels the playing field, but the reality is clubs like Sunderland/Ipswich aren’t on a level playing to that of Rochdale et. so, we have different resources at our disposal.
You couldn’t have summed it up better than it is smaller clubs clutching to try and bring bigger clubs down to their level, and unfortunately at this level there are a lot of more small clubs than big ones.
Originally I didn’t mind the idea post financial impact COVID, but the more I’ve thought the more I think it’s ridiculous. |
And the comical irony is that they probably think the Premier League and Championship will follow suit.
This is the footballing equivalent of Brexit. A massively self-inflicted wound that will ultimately achieve nothing constructive and limit opportunities. |  | | |

"but we are all paying for the extravagances of a few poorly run clubs"
I don't think it is even that, think just some clubs seeing opportunity to pull bigger ones down to their level. An utter joke that clubs with an average attendance of 20k are limited to the same as those with 2k.
I wonder if the PFA can get after it for restraint of trade |
It's clubs accepting this is their level with no aspiration ever to go even for the one or twos season in the Championship that Wycombe will enjoy next season, or Yeovil and Birton have done in the recent past.
Premier League 2 has been coming for years but the last six months has accelerated it, a fitting continuation of Evans time at Ipswich then that we're on the wrong side of this one. |  |

Based on our remaining budget, we could sign 5 players on £5k a week and still be within it.
Garbutt won’t get much more than that in L1 |
That sounds somewhat simplistic, surely this takes more than just basic wage into account? Otherwise you will find League One players with contracts heavily supplemented with silly bonuses as a way of circumventing the rules. | | | |

Not sure how you make that one out, we deserved to get relegated from the Championship and we didn't earn promotion, looks like we're right where we're supposed to be... | | | |

Seems to have been passed by one vote, being reported eight clubs voted against, presumably Town, Portsmouth, Sunderland, Hull City, Charlton, Wigan, Doncaster and Oxford based on previously stated intentions. |  | | |

I'm on the fence on this. I understand re: a widening gap and the potential dangers that involves but I think the overspending has been bad for the majority of clubs in the EFL and indeed our own.
Whenever we've spent money in Evans's time we've gone backwards. When we haven't spent money we've developed young players and a team.
So I'm torn. And probably need to see a clearer picture of how this is going to play out. |  |

Much is going to depend on the age limit set, below which the wages are not taken into consideration. Have a feeling it is 21 which is bad news for Town. Twenty three would have been better.
Suspect the big clubs lost a trick would have been better to vote first on wage cap then a second vote to define the age group. |  |

It would be excellent trolling of the EFL if the clubs voted for the age limit to be 30.
21 seems likely though as anything else probably plays into the bigger clubs hands too much.
Does open up the scope for really going big on youth and buying all the best 20 year olds from the division and below.

Unfortunately Evans and Lambert won't work out a good course.
How Evans made loads of money is beyond me. |  |

It should be 23 bearing in mind that we pay £2m plus a season to run an academy which includes an U23 team, and that changed a few years back from U21 to U23.
But that is the PL, we are now in the depths of the EFL, and are becoming a small nothing club | |

One vote; 0-1 defeats at home; 0.3% away from Category 1 status...
Not only is Evans useless, he's unlucky as well.

Excuse my maths but £2.5million a year over 22 players, that is just a little over £2000 a week per player.
I work in IT and we pay our contractor staff about that £400 a day and all they do mess around in Azure all day long. [Post edited 7 Aug 2020 15:20]

The cynic would argue that all footballers do is kick a bag of air around, so I'm not sure that POV holds much water.
The key for me is the unashamed disparity between the Championship and League One. | | | |
