Mawhinney's Salary Cap Plan

Submitted by WG on Mon, 08/12/2008 - 01:00

Lord Mawhinney, chairman of the Football League, is proposing to extend the salary cap that already operates in Coca-Cola League Two. It is linked to the percentage of turnover. Thus, a club arriving from the Premiership with parachute payments, would have the best part of £12.5m to spend on wages, while the likes of Doncaster Rovers would have roughly £3.5m. So the three relegated clubs would very likely to be returned to the Premiership each season because the others are effectively handicapped. Some might think this is what happens when one puts a former politician in charge of a football competition.
