Agreed. I think it’s such a difficult issue to tackle. If you implement salary caps, would the increased income just go to the owners? Is that any better, how feasible is it to equalise wages to a degree that many countries are attractive from a financial standpoint and is that even desired?

It’s interesting to think back to the Bosman ruling and it’s implications. I would never be able to argue that it would be better for the players to go back to pre Bosman days, but it is incredible the ramifications for “smaller” clubs who face a constantly ticking time bomb of needing to lock players down on contracts early to avoid risking those who develop fantastically only have a year or two left, but that leaves you paying a lot of money for youngsters who don’t pan out.
