The salary cap wouldnt be used in the premiership it just wouldnt happen. Maybe in the nationwide but it wont happen in the prem. Teams like man u and others will just object and pull out of competitions like the fa cup which will not make it as good

Didn't Man Utd already do that a couple of years ago, spit their dummy out and not bother with the FA Cup? As for other clubs, Chelsea are an incredible £95million in debt! Leeds are suffering heavily and will be worse when they sack El Tel and have to him compensation, Leicester and Bradford both dropped out of the Premiership in terrible financial positions, and I'm sure there are plenty more. With all these clubs in financial trouble surely they'd be jumping at the chance to have a salary cap and get their massive expenditure on players back in proportion to their income? I'd imagine a salary cap in soccer would be like our original, more sensible idea based on percentage of income, so in reality Man Utd and the other big clubs who rake in the dosh would still be ok.
