I know most players won't be anywhere near the top end of those ranges but still, the thought that someone at Lincoln or Gillingham could be earning 10 times as much as a Scottish Premiership player is mind-blowing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Posted this in the league reconstruction thread as we might actually be the beneficiaries from this as it'll create a slightly more even playing field. Some clubs are going to need to do major surgery on their squads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it's £2.5m per team is it no? So if a 20 man squad, an average of roughly £2400 a week for League 1, and £1442 a week for League 2. Still mad of course but not as extreme as you're thinking. Carlisle apparently operate well under the cap already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofarl Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Sorry I assumed that there would be no way teams in Scotland would be able to pay more in wages than league one and two. So are we to expect an influx of English nans coming up here now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are we to expect an influx of English nans coming up here now. Wages are still quite high by Scottish footballing terms. For example, Dave Cormack said he'd reduced Aberdeen's budget to £4m this season so you'd imagine past yourselves, the English clubs will still get the pick of the bunch, but there'll be a lot of deadwood and the exposure players get here will play a bigger part than ever! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countryman Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Some of those who wanted to be owners of Charlton Athletic have been told no, by the EFL. And so it goes on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluearmyfaction Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 The League and Stevenage's appeal against the suspended points deduction for Macclesfield has been successful. The Macc Lads have had 6 points deducted, rather than the idiotic 2 plus 4 held over to 2020-21 that had been put in place. Which means they get relegated. By 0.1 point per game. Although I don't think they've amortized the point deduction over the season, which is what logically should happen (i.e. they've been deducted points for a 46 game season rather than the 37 they played). Had they done so, then Macclesfield would, by my maths, have gone down by 0.01 point per game. I wonder what this means for the Sheffield Wednesday case. Given that their deduction was also held over... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping it'd mean the EFL could finally move on and get the fixtures sorted, first games are a month tomorrow... ...but you make a good point about Sheffield Wednesday. Can't see Charlton keeping quiet, although they have their own problems to sort out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percentage of turnover is the only realistic way to get this into the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
