A question for the amerifags on /sp/. With English clubs whoring themselves to every random sandnigger that waves the cash to them, it's just a matter of time until we get salary caps. So, how exactly does this shit work? Is it fixed, or does it depend on the clubs revenue?

Fixed for the league.

Sorry, I should be more specific. It raises from year to year, and this year, they've worked up the NFL cap to 115 Million. Now there are ways to get around a lot of the cap restrictions, signing bonuses for instance is one of the tactics they use to bypass the salary cap.

Not going to happen. Money controls the game from the top to the bottom and if they suddenly told all the top clubs that they can't can't have all the best players, it could affect the Champions League television ratings, which would affect the revenue that goes into Platini's pocket.

Because people don't pay billions of dollars to watch doctors at work. The money has to go somewhere. And if you think college players play for free you are naive.

Works differently for different sports.

The NFL has like a hard cap, meaning you have a hard dollar number that you can't pass. Other leagues, notably baseball, have a "luxury tax:, meaning for every dollar you pay over a certain amount, you get "taxed" and have to pay a percentage.

Anyway, salary caps gety really complicated in all the leagues. Teams split up players contracts in different ways to charge it against the cap more in one year and less in another. You can give players some money that doesn't get charged to a cap the same way as the rest (called a signing bonus). And players renegotiate their contracts all the time, just to help with the cap.

In a nutshell, salary caps and revenue sharing help to keep all teams more competitive in a fixed league...but if European soccer leagues have relegation, doesn't that render all that stuff moot? If you can't compete, tough luck in the lower bracket sucker!

Whoever wants it more pays the most. I'm sure any team could have a payroll exceeding 100 mil but most teams are too cheap and just like watching their team losing year in and year out for some reason. So good for the yankees and baw sawx, they obviously want it the most.
