A LEAGUE One and League Two salary cap can be agreed right away to bring an end to the player wages "arms race" in the lower two tiers of the English Football League, Forest Green chairman Dale Vince has said.

I bet Forest Green were happy to pay top dollar to get into the league.

If Forest Green don't want to play with the big boys they should go back to non-league.

Although this will hugely annoy the PFA who will see their remaining members wages fall significantly its a natural consequence of the failure to put the game on a sensible financial footing- something they have played a substantial part in..
 
I believe in discussions the EFL are having they consider it to be a radical move to put a 3.3m salary cap on third tier clubs. That is still an awful lot of money and will in no way reduce any gap in parity. The only way, football in this country can move forward, is to share the Premier pot more liberally among all four tiers.
This may result in a few quid less in the top tier and, as a positive, it may mean Premier clubs may need to rely more on British players and thus improve the national squad. Better national squad, more success and all football benefits by increased interest.
Some argue that foreign players bring different styles of football and improve those players around them. Probably more so twenty years ago plus. We should put more emphasis in getting our own brand of football to improve.
If, it's vital to have these foreign wonderkids to teach us how to play, then why does England have a manager with no international coaching experience?
It will probably benefit the economy too. More tax being paid here and less fortunes lost to the economy through Western Union.
If the minnow clubs want to survive then they need to learn how to mob the sharks.
