Or rather a restriction on the total wage spend, as opposed to restricting what a single player can earn?Some owners could say and do that. The problem is that, for every billionaire owner, there are a hundred chancers who will buy a club and fund it from borrowing. If it works - great - but if it doesn't then the owner walks away and the club goes bust.
You can't have one rule for people who are obviously bona fide and another for people who may not be.
A wage cap is the way to control out of control football spending.
