One of the best defenders today. I think he is worth at least 30-35m. 46 would be a little over his valuation but by not much.

Really? Does it really exist in the german league because I have not heard anything regarding a wage cap anywhere in the world.

Unless the wage cap is brought in all over Europe it won't work as the countries without one will see their leagues attract the biggest players. Do players need to earn anymore than 100,000 a week which is obscene as it is? 5mil a year plus all the advertising etc boosts it enough without players getting 250,000 a week??

The best thing to do in most situations is not to regulate it with rules and so on, but to let it self-regulate. The poorly run clubs who pay too much will go bankrupt, good. The well run clubs with sensible owners will flourish. The problem solves itself.


They can't ALL go to Monaco.. :-)

The wage cap has been in Australia for years now in our A-league.
Only one player who is classed to be your "marquee" can be over this salary cap. Means we bring up a lot more talented youth rather than wasting those spots on players over 35 like in the first season with Dwight Yorke and then Robbie Fowler later on. There are a few star names, which is important for ticket sales, shirt sales etc but a lot of them are young Australians.

In german currently the rules prevents clubs from spending over 50% of their turnover in players

Its not quite a salary cap but it means that the german league made of 2 billion profit last year and are catching the english league up
