Ticket prices wont come down but i'd like to see some games have reduced ticket prices as i said.

A flat salary cap will never ever be implemented in football

Damn knew I'd get the wrong sport, but anyway are these sports with this cap/limit actually anymore openly competitive?

Just can't see it working. Cap on ticket prices would be a real good idea though :thup:

No. No, not as you propose it. Not even close too. Nowhere near.



Firstly that is an incredible PL centred question and as such hold little relevance to the wide statement of "problems with football". Secondly I don't see any such "domination" being such a bad thing, success will (and should) always breed more success but only if the club in question has a good organisation/leaders. Leeds and Newcastle being prime examples of how clubs can feck themselves up by mismanagement. And a wage cap won't ever change this unless you want all clubs to have the exact same wage budget, and that is both incredible unrealistic and stupid.



A wage cap won't fix ticket prices. And btw what's there to fix??? If clubs can sell their tickets then let them for whatever price they want. There is no god given right for anyone to watch football, if you think it's too expensive then don't buy the ticket and if enough people agree with you then the prices will fall.



A wage cap will neither strengthen your national team nor will it make english players cheaper to buy. More likely it will actually have the opposite effect on both.



Is really weakened team in the cups such a bad thing? It's not like the top teams try to loose now is it? Arsenal usually plays with a young team in the CC and they still got to the final last year, that isn't demeaning the cup. And isn't it a good thing that teams rotate the squads and younger talent gets an opportunity to display themselves? And exactly how do you think that a wage cap would effect clubs line-ups???



IMO the blame for that is more with the media and it's hunger for finding a scandal or mess-up and then milking any for every little headline they can. If that's all the info you have then I guess players might look like primadonnas (but I guess that the players themselves at times help by being a bit spoiled and/or naive). And I can't see how a wage cap would ever fix it anyway as it would still leave footballers earning more than the average person.



The western economies are stronger than most others and football is probably the biggest sport in europe. So it's quite natural that european football will have more money than most other regions. Here I could see a wage cap have some sort of effect though but nowhere near enough to warrant one.



Some mismanaged clubs will always overspend, if not on salaries then on transfer fees/investments/other things. The relatively small percentage of clubs that go bust would indicate that it isn't a general wage issue and hence it won't be fixed by a wage cap.



There is??? Care to prove it?



No it wouldn't as your perceived problems are waay bigger than just being a wage issue.
