Meeting to be held with all EFL clubs in the coming days to agree a salary cap, which could come into force for the 2020/21 season.

It will cover the clubs 25 man squad, £18m for Championship clubs, £2.5m League 1 and £1.5m for League 2 clubs.

For me it’s about time and vital for clubs to survive as things couldn’t go on. The gulf will increase between PL clubs unless they agree a cap, but for me lower league clubs survival is more important.

Paying Championship players £20k + per week will be a thing of the past

No it wont. Do the maths. If 25 people are going to share £18m a season, then the average salary in the club is going to be £13846 per week. Plenty of the 25 will therefore be on over £20k per week.

What happens to players coming down from the Premiership. Do they drop mega salaries or are they also exempt from the cap.

Think its a great idea mind. Needs to be even lower £720000 a year for some of the garbage floating around is deplorable. Football will have disappeared in 10 years if they don't get their act together.
 
Whoever goes down from the championship would massively fail that, joe allon, Ryan Shawcross and jack butland are probably all on £2.5 million each and stoke weren’t far off, imagine hull will still have some players on not far off that, sure Britt isn’t far off either.

wonder what gooch and McGeady are on for the mackams
 
Unfortunately we will still have teams like Derby trying to circumvent this through third party means. It is without doubt a good idea in principle, as was ffp but people seem determined to get around these sort of things.

Because they have never actually shown what happens if you blatantly break the rules.

you might get the odd one over £20k but not many unless an equal number we’re on around £5k a week.
Prem league clubs coming down would be exempt but i guess there’s be a sliding scale as years pass. Meeting this week, I guess more details will emerge then
 
We have salary caps in the Spanish equivalent of the championship (La Liga 2). They are not based on a single amount for all teams.

It seems that they are more based on whether they are financially viable for each club.

Our new club owner has complained that he has not been allowed to spend enough. He doubled the annual amount from 10 to about 20 million euros this season.

It was fun when we sacked our latest manager recently. After sacking one earlier in the season. As the spending cap caused us to promote from within.

Updated: he tried to increase it further based on more advertising revenue from Saudi. He also tried to sell some players he wanted rid of to Saudi teams at inflated prices. He was blocked from doing it.

Should be salary caps at all levels, in all leagues.
The wages some players earn are sickening.

It won't happen, because of self interest, but it should.
 
wouldn't salary caps be contravening someones freedoms, I dunno owners perhaps. I think its a good idea football is eating itself alive.
