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.
Problem is tcobb some can’t pay their tax bill. To clarify, they are being offered a loan by the government to defer this? When this happens in industry a condition is that you can’t blow this money on increasing executives wages and the like. For me that is perfectly reasonable, that is not the correct use of tax payers money? It is supposed to give the company financial stability and stave off bankruptcy and the like. The government stipulated that a condition of the loan was that clubs couldn’t blow it on players wages and trying to get themselves promoted etc. it was there to support them similar to the usual conditions and the EFL refused to accept it? So to be clear, in the current financial climate the EFL have rejected an offer of millions from the government to support championship clubs because they sought to impose a condition that applies to the rest of industry in these circumstances for reasons that couldn’t be more logical and clearer? So no they are not prepared to operate as other businesses.
