auto98uk. Anything helps mate. Thanks :thup:.

I've managed to download a copy of "The state of the game report", which was a report compiled by the Football Governance Research Centre, (based at the Birkbeck University of London).

I believe that the info on the salary cap is in there somewhere so I will have a look.

Emm

The proper title for this rule, (which is indeed part of the Football Leagues Rules and Regulations), is and which includes both League 1 and League 2 sides, (or at least it did in 2006).

I will continue to search until I can provide a direct link to the specific rule.

It's just a game. You expect them to get everything 100% accurate?

I'm surprised you do not complain that Ferdinand weighs 11.10stone when in real life he is 11.9stone......

Have you lost your grip on reality, or do you just like to moan about everything?

Emm

I'm trying to help them improve the game .

The Barnet situation isn't particularly realistic, so rather than complaining about it and doing nothing else, I am going to considerable time and effort to provide them with information which they don't have at prsent.

Thanks for your comment though :thup:.

From what I can tell after doing my own research on this Jimbo, it seems to be more of a guide than a rule, the idea being to study its impact and possibly introduce it as a rule in the future. Unfortunately I have no links to show this as i've been looking all over the place. Let us know what you find.

Emm

This link takes you to a report by the Football Association Financial Advisory Committee.

If you look at apage 8, section 2.4.5, it states.

Then if you go down to page 31.

While this would seem to shed some light on the subject, the fact that the report is dated 2004 actually only confuses the issue.

Sorry. It's all that I could find .

Hope it's of some help Si.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but i posted about this a few weeks ago.

Emm

Well my initial post was 15th October so that's 3 weeks ago.

Anyway, apologoes, didn't see your thread or I would have posted this in there.

Did you get much response?

And also did you find any more proof than I have managed?

Jimbo, I would agree that this is a good idea to implement.

The salary cap also applies in the conference however it only takes effect from the 2nd season if a club is relegated. Hence why Oxford went all out last season then had to release a lot of high earners when they missed out on promotion.

I feel that the same will happen to Torquay this season if they don't go up as they've brought in a lot of good players on fairly good wages.

Regards.
