Why do people keep complaining that the EFL are at fault, surely any company that is trading, pays its workers the going rate, what they can afford ? Before people blame the EFL lets look at the Chairmen who pay the wages, nobody makes them, look at the agents who demand the player is paid a high wage, look at the player who is happy to let the agent demand a high wage, look at the supporters who want the best players and for the Chairman to spend big. Ive been watching football for god knows how long and all i keep hearing is " The League are at fault... The FA are at fault " and for those years people have kept saying " this cant go on,Clubs will go bust" year after year, yes Clubs will go bust, yes some will come close, but isnt that the same as all types of business ? Why does a salary cap need to be put in place because the Clubs cannot control the spending ? Let them spend, let them achieve success, let them fail, because that is what Clubs do, that is football, that is the high and the heartache. A salary cap is just another nail in the coffin of football on its way to complete sanitation.
Free market enterprise you mean?
People will argue the community aspect of a football club should be taken into account and hence the need for the EFL to impose artificial limits and ceilings to try and prevent clubs from failing, but how many that do fold aren't almost immediately 'replaced' by a phoenix club which has immediate intentions of filling the void left by the disappearance of the original club?
I'd be genuinely interested to see a register of professional and semi professional clubs that have gone under over the past 40 years that have never been replaced within that community by a start up club, or ones that have been but the phoenix club has also proven to be unsustainable.
