| Salary Cap - a one-season blessing? 12:52 - Oct 13 with 955 views | uefacup81 |
Reading the post about the salary cap and contract renewals got me thinking, particularly given the much-improved performances from a number of members of the squad who might find themselves out of contract in the summer.
Is the threat of having to accept a significantly-reduced salary from 2021/22 onwards enough of a kick in the pants to spur some of these players to play to their full potential?
Probably the only way for some of these players to continue to draw a comparable wage going forwards would either be to get Town promoted, or to do enough to prove to a Championship club that they're worth signing if Town don't go up.
Garbutt ending up at Blackpool will probably have been quite the cautionary tale for them. |  |

What will actually happen is that we will lose our better, higher earners for a pittance, because we need them off the wage bill, the dead wood will stay and we will be unable to sign more because we have dead wood on long expensive contracts.
Lambert out. |  |

I think in general it's a good thing for Leagues 1 + 2, but maybe not so good for us.
Although it should be good for clubs with a good youth system, which we seem to have againm |  |

The key is to go up to avoid this. |  |

The knowledge salaries would be significantly lower if we were relegated wasn’t. motivation enough to stay up
The knowledge salaries would go up if we gained promoted didn’t motivate player in the second half of last season. |  |

Yes, I'm inclined to think so.
As an optimist, we can settle in this league a few more months and then when other
clubs go belly-up we can survive ...hopefully.
Then should promotion happen, we'll enter a Championship decimated by high wages
and diminished parachute payments.
For once timing could be on our side. |  | | |

Every single player at the club already knew that the better they played the more money they would make over their career, so nothing's changed really.
The salary cap is a good thing for us and everyone else in the division because it controls spending, meaning the club is more financially viable. |  |

Long term, it will totally shaft the lower divisions. It'll make it much more difficult for promoted sides to attract and retain players and ultimately survive higher up. At some point, PL and Champion ship chairmen will say 'the lower league clubs clearly can't compete' and pull up the drawbridge for a Premier League 1 and 2. | |

I don't see why particularly. If you get promoted, the budget available to you goes up, you then have scope to acquire better players. No inherent reason why that would make it impossible to compete, not least because it's seemingly just as possible to build a good team in League One with Coventry's budget as it is with Sunderland's.
I've never really understood what the point of "Premier League 2" was supposed to be. A second division is a second division. It's not a good product to sell to anyone except those team's supporters. | |
