No, not having it that this is the fair application of a sensible new policy (has the policy actually changed anyway?). Wigan’s breach was £14,700, not £55,000.
In Wigan’s case the points deduction has been suspended until March 2020. If Wigan make another breach we lose two points next season while Leeds having gone over the cap several times to reach that total get off with a fine!
We are still in effect being punished. They aren’t.
It’s down to the club to police itself,again Wigan are paying for the crimes of the past but tough,they took it to a tribunal and have to adhere to their ruling,Leeds haven’t gone over ever I’m lead to believe so they gets the fine,simple as that
I dont agree with the cap and never will it hasn’t evened the playing field whatsoever so for me the simple thing is to do away with it,it’s an artificial Ceiling,clubs should in this day and age be able to budget themselves,and to those who say it’s levels the field I say how many have won the SL for their answer.
Of course the biggest laugh is Leeds broke the cap with one of their worst sides in living memory
On the other hand I think £55k Leeds overspent paying actual players is a pretty serious breach. It’s the wage of an extra decent player.

Which of course is what happened to Wigan,it’s clear to me it’s not being monitored each week as it’s supposed to be,(can the sport afford it to be fair).shaunedwardsfanclub wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2019 4:43 amAnd they broke it on several occasions throughout the season, and it only came to light due to an audit.

I’m slightly different in terms of punishment,you overspend (and it happens let’s be fair) say by 15,000,then the fine should match it up to say a limit of 100k,if the clubs are insisting on carrying on with this self imposed cap then they should be able to police it,and be fined a clear and fair manner if they mess up.
