Absolutely pissing myself at the English League One salary cap being £2.5 million a year. 
You take a squad of 20 and that’s £125,000 a year per head on average. 
Some Sunderland players will be on that a month.

Yep. Percentage of turnover is the only realistic way to get this into the game.

Indeed. Where’s the £2.5million come from? Is it completely arbitrary? 
 

Sunderland will basically need to buy a whole new team.

Was under the impression that players already signed are capped at a level that fits in with the squad limit.

They might be hiring a few 'business consultants'.

Interesting spurs will need to be in two places at once , possibly city or united or both if they are in the super cup as well.

Suspect multiple Aston Villa v Liverpool youth team type episodes again,

Hope so, we hadn't put 5 past Liverpool since the mid-Seventies before that game [emoji6]

EFL mistakes are why Sheffield Wednesday Are being punished next season not this.

 

Full case report out Monday 17th. 

Case report is actually shocking.  The EFL was writing out to clubs telling them that Birmingham City were being told to sell players in the January window (which depressed the price) - at the same time as they were telling Wednesday to backdate a ground sale so they would not fail.

 

It's the epitome of bias.

Their credability with me evaporated the moment they elected to give Shaun Harvey the top job.

Quite stunned to find out that some Gas (Bristol Rovers) players were on £1,000 a week, if that's across 52 weeks then thats scandalous for a mid standard League One club, no wonder we're in trouble financially ! Think there will be a couple more Bury's before long,sadly.

I'm surprised it's that little at Bristol.

You lot talk about the English football league as if its important

It has been a competitve, entertaining league. 

What criteria applies for leagues to be considered important in your opinion?

Is it the case that this league is unimportant to you for no other reason than you have no affiliation to any of the teams that play in it?
