Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and other Premier League bosses are reportedly close to agreeing a new policy that will 'restrain' players' wages and agent fees.
Failing to see what the idea is behind this, its not like the money saved by the clubs will be passed onto the supporters...their main source of income.
Instead it will just line the board of directors wallets.
Don't see why people are so badly against it. One player could easily be paying £50k a week in tax at least. Enough to pay for 2 soldiers for a year. Do a little more math and the Chelsea first team could easily be paying for 1000 soldiers yearly wage over the course of a year.
Yes instead lets give all of the money to douchebag 23 year olds that don't know what to do with it. How about using money to give higher wages to civil servants or teachers/cops/fire fighters.
No you're right we should give more money to the football players.
I was using it as an example. People always say footballers shouldn't be payed more that soliders. Of course I would rather the money be spent elsewhere but I was just fed up of the same argument.
good!
What about transfer fees, the biggest problem?

I think this should be done around the world not just in the EPL. They should have a maximum wage for players and once they hit that that's it.
It works in other Sports and it can in football but for it to work it has to be forced on all football clubs in the world.
