The 2020-21 season...

Also, the EFL capping League 1 and League 2 salaries whilst UEFA lets Man City gets away with a slap on the wrist for FFP violations is like capping an office receptionist's salary so the janitor doesn't get jealous whilst the CEO gets away with tax evasion.

 

I know its not to be sniffed at, but there tons of proffessions that can pay that sort of money...would less people pursue it?

Edit: to be fair, I would sooner kick a bag of wind then do an actual job.

 

Might well be the case, but it doesn’t actually say that does it?
It actually said “Any contract entered into on or prior to today’s vote will be capped at an agreed divisional average until that contract expires.” Says the contracts will be capped at a rate, not calculated at a rate (which made more sense)
If that is the case, some existing contracts will have their salaries reduced, then I think the PFA have a point. If existing contracts continue and it effectively just means new contracts will have to fit into an agreed overall cap then I doubt they can win the argument.

 

Difficult to see how they could legally require reductions to existing contracts.

 

Newsflash.....Football outside of the premier league is fecked.

 

Yeah I know
What you said is probably right. It was just worded oddly by them I thought

 

Yeah , some people haven't really grasped that yet , won't be long before a large number of clubs
will be in serious financial trouble

 

Wouldn't they be better implementing it the season after to get ready for it ?

 

Errrr.... You do know why they're doing this don't you.....??

By next season, a dozen or three clubs will have disappeared under the status quo.....

 

Whatever you want.

 

Has the reality kicked in yet?? Div 3 footy for us next year - still doesn’t feel real

 

Errr yes !
I do realise but the season starts in 5 weeks do you think its enforceable that quick

 

No-one is saying that. They are saying that they will use a calculated notional salary for the purpose of a team salary cap value. Nothing to do with reducing what players are paid (until contract renewal time)

So say, Long is being paid 50k per week (Yes, not a realistic example, I know), they might use £2k for the purpose of calculations. If they used the amount he was paid really, we'd only be able to pay £3.50 per week to any new recruits.

 

that is what you're saying...but it isn't what they said
they said "Any contract entered into on or prior to today’s vote will be capped at an agreed divisional average until that contract expires"

 

Not clearly worded, but says the same as I suggested. You could interpret either way, but one way wouldn't be legally viable so I discounted that one immediately.

Here's a quote from a 10 second google into how it works.

"It means League One clubs cannot pay over £2.5m on player expenses in a season, while League Two clubs are capped at £1m.

This averages out at around £1,700 per player per week in League One and £1,000 per player per week in League Two.

To solve the issue of clubs currently paying in excess of the caps, the EFL will not account for any wages players earn over each league’s average salary.

So, if a player currently earns £3,000 a week at Ipswich, then only £1,700 of his wage would be recorded for the cap."

So the notional value I mentioned is £1,700.

 

That makes much more sense, because the first statement couldn't really be interpreted either way...it was just wrong.
I'd not seen anything else, but assuming the quote is from someone of authority that clears it up.

Shows how important it is that we get back up quickly though!

 

Do they have less players in League 2?

League 1 2.5 million averages to around 1,700 per player
League 2 1 million averages to around 1000 per player

 

That's Betty Turpin you're thinking of.

Her hot pots got her out of some hot spots.

 

When are the fixtures released

 

I read they're hoping to get them out next week. Not certain though.
