Message: [QUOTE="Number6, post: 2847947, member: 9008"] Salary cap as it stands is a blight on the game. Little reward for developing talent or building culture of success. Few one club legends which surely negatively impacts fan loyalty (and one club players getting unders in exchange for loyalty). It is a restriction of trade for players and clubs with some nice legal massaging to be kosher. The game perhaps benefits from some restraint (although no real evidence to support the system, just same bs story about benefits of evenness aka mediocrity - if clubs can't manage their books wouldn't hurt to let a couple go broke just feel sorry for their 50 fans) but surely it has gone to far. How about some tweaks? - Loyalty discounts I.e 2% per year each year at club kicking in after 5 years (since age 16 maybe), remove the existing cap benefits - Age discounts for over 30 i.e 10% and over 33 i.e 20%. - Luxury tax for over the cap purchases, rather than a hard cap? I.e $1 per $1 up to $500000 and $2 tax after till a million. Then keep doubling. - Change income year calculations for cap so June 30 transfers aren't a fraction of the cost for a few months till November. - Put players on a % of the cap rather than an amount so cap changes don't affect negotiations or long term contracts. - Decrease role of second tier cap and have larger squad of 35 or 40 so doesn't influence player selection options.
