Salary Cap / Luxury Tax

If that pathway were followed it is likely that Everton would almost certainly have no realistic hope of ever becoming a truly successful club again.
No matter how much we spent our outlay would always be dwarfed by the ‘elite ‘ clubs and since spending currently directly correlates to success our future would be very bleak indeed.

Its already bleak. We'll never catch, City, Chelsea or United...

I haven’t thought much about salary caps and suchlike as I don’t think the elite clubs around Europe will ever permit it to happen, they have too much to loose. But radical change is required, my first thoughts are limiting the number of players you can have. Each club would have a defined number of contracts, at various levels, this would stop teams from buying up loads of players and then lending them out or keeping them in their reserve sides. It would have to be a generous number of contracts. I would limit the number of players you are allowed to loan out, this would allow you to develop talent. I would introduce a wage structure, if a player is given £100,000 per week, he gets 25% every week, if he plays he gets another 25%, if he plays and the team wins he gets the rest. Make it important that the players have to play and that they have to try and get a result.

I like the principle of this, I wonder if some contracts are perhaps already written with these stipulations? Could they be penalised for appearances, bookings, sending offs etc already?
 
My take on this ,is that the players should have a reasonable cap depending on what they have done -not won -so for example no reserve team player is worth 50 grand a week until he is proven ,if a player is not picked for his international side then he has a cap at a lower figure .I know that the imbalance now is probably set in concrete but something should be tried ,that being decided by all the clubs and not just the six/or whatever .I remember when a player was paid more if he played and more if the team drew or won but that will never come back .The horse has bolted I am afraid .
 
I think that there is quite a lot of disappointment around the corner for a lot of our fans. I don’t think it matters too much what the restrictions are with regard to what we spend. I think the owners have zero appetite for spending on the playing side until the balance sheet is under control.

I think it’s pretty much sell to buy until we are in Bramley-Moore, that’s where Moshiri’s money is going now. You can’t blame him really, he’s a business man, not an Everton fan and he’s already thrown hundreds of millions at the squad to stand still.

I think the people who are saying ‘oh after we get the deadwood off the wage bill at the end of the season we will be able to spend big’, have got a nasty surprise coming.

It will still be unbalanced, the Top six clubs have multiples of our income so will all have bigger budgets, its why European football and BMD are so important. Under the new rules you will be allowed spend 70% of your income on wages, our current wage bill is 79% before this summer.

The most galling thing of all will be clubs who "overspend" based on revenue percentages will then pay a luxury tax, part of which will then be paid to PSG, Man City and all the other ESL clubs who have outgoings many multiples of the fined "non-compliant" teams. It's just another way to lock in the status quo. It's a waste of time.

They have, because the debt is still there.
 

Agents are a real problem, adding millions to transfers should be paid for by the multi millionaire clients not the buying club. They are really a stain on the game.

It all revolves around the public, in the end. Want change? Be prepared to walk away.

Certain people fully expect that you can't, though, and history proves them right. Things change when the public says so and, apparently, the distaste hasn't hit a peak yet so people of Scudamore's ilk will lie, cheat and steal while continuing to push limits...as long as the public keep paying.
