It looks like this is becoming a real possible outcome from next season.
Can only be a good thing for football long-term surely?
I see a big potential hazard in the road being the Premier League. Im sure they would like to do away with Promotion/Relegation, and maybe they use this to form a fully breakaway league leaving everyone else behind.

Football will implode in the premier league Dodgy Harry wants no relegation this season in the premier he wants to keep his beloved Bournemouth up 😎

Surely it will just make the gap between the Championship and PL even bigger?
It's a good idea if it's implemented in the PL too. If it isn't then it's a debilitating move for the Championship.

It can’t be implemented when many clubs are PLCs That would be restriction of trade as they can pay what they want

How many people would want their salaries capped? How would they attract talent?

This will be the end of new teams surviving in the PL, and will end up with a Super League with no relegation.

The main problem with a salary cap in the Championship and PL is that unless it's carried out European wide. The best players in the PL will leave for higher paying European teams, likewise Championship players. Also, the PL would be unable to attract top players from abroad. This would lead to an overall lowering of quality of the teams and leagues, with no hope of European success.

At this point the only logical thing to do is have a single league of 92 teams where each plays each other home and away and a league season lasts four years, starting and ending with a World Cup.
At the end of each season, the bottom sixteen teams would be relegated to the Conference. The top twelve teams in the Conference would be promoted automatically, while the teams finishing from 13th down to 35th would play off for the remaining four promotion spots.

Im sure they would like to do away with Promotion/Relegation, and maybe they use this to form a fully breakaway league leaving everyone else behind. The salary cap as described in the media is a nonsense and I don't see the larger Championship clubs giving sufficient support for it to be introduced. At the moment Fleetwood Town with a stadium capacity of less than 5,500 are in the play-off positions in Division 1. If they had been promoted, why should teams who can attract attendances of 30,000+ be restricted to paying the same wages as Fleetwood? It would also destroy the hopes of any club promoted from The Championship of staying in The Premier League. We already know how difficult it was to attract players of any quality to the club when we were first promoted. If those players now knew that their wages would be slashed automatically by maybe 75% if a club was relegated, I would imagine that even the modern day equivalents of Sorensen, Faye, Etherington, Beattie etc who were prepared to take a gamble would have second (and third) thoughts.

How many people would want their salaries capped? How would they attract talent? by doing what they do in other sports have salary caps,they would break the rules & offer money some other way brown envelopes 'employing' family members with over inflated salaries e.t.c. so it's a non starter sadly

I'm against this. One of those ideas that sounds good on paper but has tons of unintended consequences that will cause big problems and make it very hard for clubs to get into the Premier League and stay up.
Like FFP. Sounds a good idea on paper but it ends up affecting the smaller clubs more than the bigger ones and comes with a lot of unintended consequences while doing little to deal with the issue it's trying to deal with.
Like others have said this could only work with a Europe wide salary cap. Which will never, ever happen.

Can see some of the wealthy/bigger championship clubs pushing towards premiership 2 than having a wage cap myself.

They have had salary caps for a long time. Difference is it is not a fixed money amount rather than a percentage of income

As usual, there are other sports like rugby that have done this already. www.rugby-league.com/salary_cap_regulations Point 1 is the main one. Football is dominated by 5 clubs who have won almost everything since the advent of the Premier League. Its bullshit and it should not be like that. What's the point for everyone else if all you can hope for is an occasional go in the Europa league?

Even considering a salary cap is utter lunacy.
If a rich owner can afford to sign Messi why shouldn’t they. All a salary cap will do is deprive fans across the country of seeing better players.
It is dumbing everyone down.

Salary caps aren't required, clubs just need to say "no". The premier League average wage is double the next highest league.... Let that sink in. Does it actually need to be?!

If they try to push the salary cap, it will just make a premier league 2 happen sooner.

Based on what L1 and L2 are doing, any contract signed before the cap comes in are just counted as the average divisional salary.So no doubt there'll be a lot of financial gymnastics going on if it comes in..... www.efl.com/news/2020/august/squad-salary-caps-introduced-in-league-one-and-league-two/Any contract entered into on or prior to today’s vote will be capped at an agreed divisional average until that contract expires. Moving forwards, Clubs that are relegated will be permitted to cap all contracts at the divisional average prior to the Club’s relegation until those contracts expire.

Bloody hell. That could be a game changer. It will certainly be a game changer if it excludes relegated teams It will make it almost certain that those that come down will just go straight back up How can it be fair that a relegated club can pay there players three or four times the money that a similar size clubs already in the championship cannot

I’m sure there will be ways around this for clubs who can afford it. A huge signing on fee, appearance, loyalty and results bonuses, image rights to name a few. A £3m signing on fee for a 3 year contract will boost wages by around 20k a week alone. But the downside could be that clubs will demand a higher transfer fee thus haemorrhaging more cash out of the game into agents pockets.
