Abu Derby Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 DCFC leading the way to introduce a £20m salary cap at a meeting this week at St George’s Park. Fierce resistance encountered by rivals who want to see us punished first. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-8057833/amp/Derby-County-lead-push-introduce-20-million-Championship-salary-cap.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Not sure how that would work with relegated clubs and their parachute payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodley Ram Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Love the Monika Abu @Abu Derby not surprised that the rest of the championship want transgressors to be punished first, although not sure why the two cannot run side by side. We have a situation within football especially the championship where clubs are found guilty by their peers and regulators before a hearing takes place. so the article should read that Derby, Weds and Brum have their hearings into FFP concluded before a salary cap is discussed. We are often called Wayne Rooney Derby ( formally known as Frank Lampard Derby) is the championship now being called Steve Gibson’s Championship???????

angieram Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Haven't we got to be found guilty of something before we are punished? Anyway, good idea, DCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 The absolute irony of that? Surely that can’t be true. Whether we’re punished for FFP or not, we’ve certainly not exactly been restrictive in our wages? Can see why other clubs would be a bit pissed, throwing stones from glass houses and all that. As an aside, it’s a terrible idea if it’s true whichever way up. Just like with FFP, owners should be allowed to spend what they want. These markets restrictions won’t be good for championship football. Players will just move elsewhere if they can’t get the wages here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Ram Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 We'll get round the wage cap. 32 Red pay Rooneys wages ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 It's one of those ideas that'd have to be implemented across quite a few leagues to have any meaningful impact, otherwise the players will just go where the payday is. Of itself, I can't see it ever getting off the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtains Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 So other clubs refuse to countenance it until Derby, Sheff Wed and Brum have been punished . What a load of xxxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 The Daily Fail reported this so why are people getting hung up on the content. I would imagine the only true part of this story was Derby putting forward a proposal for a salary cap and the remainder of the story twisted to fit their own agenda.

G STAR RAM Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 This stinks of hypocrisy for me. As much as I agree with the idea, we were not interested when we were trying to buy our way out of the division but now that has failed we want a salary cap?! Nothing to do with us what other teams are spending as long as they are not breaking rules. By all means impose a salary cap at our club, and why not go further by extending it to an individual salary cap, but keep our nose out of what other teams are doing, none of our business.

RamNut Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 It’s a good idea - in fact it’s essential - but what hypocrites we are. our wage bill was up to £45m and we are paying Rooney mega-money. A maximum wage in championship of 20k a week would make more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 1 hour ago, Tamworthram said: Not sure how that would work with relegated clubs and their parachute payments. They'll have to sell players when they come down, or start introducing wage reduction clauses on relegation. Which causes issues because it makes it harder for bottom PL clubs to compete with the top end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I don't think we're being hypocrites, I think the point is that we've had to compete and spend money to keep up with the league. All teams have this problem unless we agree to even the playing field. On reflection, maybe the answer to the relegated club issue is that if you've got high earners that will take you over the cap, you just don't register them in the squad for the league and therefore they are not eligible to play.

Tombo Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 In fact, balls to relegated prem clubs. Pay your man off with your parachute payments if they won't take the pay cut. That's what Sunderland did with Jack Rodwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
