I think it's about £2.5-£3m So what happens if players in the squad have a contract already in place which takes a club over the budget of this salary cap ? |

That’s a problem for the club(s) concerned to solve! Unless there is a loophole ( legal or illegal!) that enables some wriggle room I would imagine that the most likely approach would be a combination of reduced incoming transfer activity / increases in the numbers of out of contract players released, with other players who are not currently under contract but the club would like to retain being offered a new deal but on reduced terms. The final option - and the one with least chance of success - is to approach the contracted players and ask them to renegotiate their contract ( ie lessen their wages ) in order to accommodate the revised budget. |

Difficult times ahead it seems.Smaller squads and more youth players maybe the answer.Whatever it is we are going down a blind alley.If we produce a good player would we sell,if so the buying club has all the aces regarding how much. |

I think it would take a few years to go from where football is now to the £1.25m level. As you say there may be players under contract. Wasn't Sunderland still paying someone£60k a week this season from their Premiership days? |

Yes they were - Jack Rodwell - he cost Sunderland about £4.5k for every minute he played when transfer fees and wages were combined! No wonder football is in financial jeopardy!🥺 |

We do every time. If Ruel goes too, there is another one we have lost. To think Ross/Ling kept playing Alabi ahead of Ruel last season. It beggars belief. |

Not seeing the hype over Ruel if the truth be told. Fair enough, but if by some miracle he stays for another year, you will see how pure his talent is. |

To think Alabi got the nod ahead of anyone last season beggars belief.😀 |

So a cap. This will disadvantage London Clubs. It will,also disadvantage clubs with bigger fan bases. Has to be some flexibility.
