In lieu of Chelsea and their outragous transfer ability, I'm still clueless as to why FIFA has yet to impose some kind of world wide transfer cap.
I'd say £40 million per transfer window and £60 million a calendar year. This allows the big clubs to still spend big, but also keeps Roman from buying a midfield consisting of Ballack, Lampard, Cole, Essein, Robben, etc. and a strike force of Sheva, Crespo and Drobga (see: spending £300m. in 3 years.)
Is that unreasonable? or just unrealistic?

if you would take a look at other clubs, and what it took for them to built it that way, you might find that Chelsea are not that big of a spenders after all, i hear Ronaldinho's contract at Barcelona is $100.00 mil alone?!
|
|
it can work within a single country because there are laws to regulate it, but you just can't manage it on a world wide basis. Sure you could sign a player for 5 million, but there's no way of stopping his aunt in costa rica from recieving 40million in unmarked bills in the mail...or any other relative in some far corner of the world. There are no international laws against such activity. Just look at the poor attempts to regulate file transfer over the internet, and that is done by people leaving a trace with every move they make on the internet.
unfortunately, when it comes to salaries, the money doesn't really matter. Why would a player care if he made 10 or 15 million from a club when a world class player will easily make 30 million a year just in endorsments?

I would say salary cap for individual leagues.
|
|
I dont think salary caps work.
In Australia for instance, the new a-league has a salary cap mainly due to the start of a new league and prevent clubs going all out buying players and then falling into debt.
However I feel that it doesnt work because then it makes it harder for these clubs to look to bigger clubs to strengthen their team because they cant go above the salary cap.. then eventually a team will go over the cap and then suffer consequences in the following season.
|
|
Let's use NBA for example. It works pretty good, and it would eliminate the situation like what Chelsea do right now.
Big name players would be willing to play for other teams for a bigger contract. (e.g. Ben Wallance goes to Chicago Bulls) And it would force Chelsea to sell some of their big name players.
Of coures, it's not gonna be very simple. But it would be a good start to control the way how Chelsea do in this business though.

I agree with you UT; what Chelsea has done is hurting the competitiveness of the EPL. I realize they are trying to compete with ALL the European leagues for talent, but it's remakably similar to MLB in the US; Yankees or Red Sox yawn. FIFA needs to institute a transfer/salary cap across all the leagues

who do you think the top 4 teams will be for this season?
For me its Liverpool, Arsenal, Man U and Spurs in that order.
|

Bolton has as good a chance of winning as the sun burning out next year. For me...
1. Liverpool
2. Man U
3. Chelsea
4. Arsenal
5. Tottenham

ManU did not spend 200m pounds for buying players/coaches in 3 years. Their purchases were star players expected to start in the 1st team, or players expected to be substitutes. And they paid differently depending on this. They are also wise spenders, in that they won't grossly overpay. Chelsea bought a whole team, and almost always ridiculously overpaid for every position - starting eleven or sub.
I don't agree with a transfer cap. It's only one club in the world that is grossly overpaying for every player - and that benefits the clubs selling to Chelsea. And it's only been 2 seasons.
It's no surprise then, that Chelsea are in the red, and have been since Abramovich took over. Even they're saying that break-even status is expected to occur by 2010 at the earliest.
Besides, only 11 can play. Cech, Terry, Gallas, Lampard, Essien, Cole are sure starters every match, or maybe 5 of these 6. That leaves 5 or 6 spots open for the remaining 18-20 players. And when Mourinho leaves (I would be surprised if stays another 3 years, unless they double his salary), Chelsea are going to crumble. At least, that's my thoughts - Mourinho is the one that's keeping this squad together.
And plsssssssss dont ever compare the beauty of football to baseball. There is no comparison.

First all teams in the EPL have to figure out how to score on Chelsea. With Makalele and Essien in there, EPL teams will continue to be clueless as they have been for the last 2 years.
Chelsea will win the league again with 5 weeks to spare. I said it last season and i'm saying it again for this season.
Chelsea will be 2006/2007 EPL Champions

Arsenal will be back on top this year. They have had a season in which they have learnt how to play together and will again be a force. Chelsea may not have it all their way as Ballack and Sheva will have trouble adapting to the premier league.
