Changes that could improve Soccer

[Bogball XV]

How can UEFA impose a salary cap? This would be in breach of the law of the land of just about every country in which UEFA operates. And even if they could, the Middle East, Japan, even the USA etc would hoover up the best players. Plus the best South American players would stay at home, instead of going to Europe.
As for your limitation on team budgets, Germany already operates just such a system i.e. teams cannot exceed revenue limits or go into debt etc, although within these limits, they can pay individuals whatever they like.
And German football hasn't been in such a parlous state for many years.

Anyhow, why impose a cap on footballers and not e.g. tennis players, golfers or rugby players? Or pop stars, accountants or City dealers?

As for saying that "in theory, a salary cap would revolutionise soccer", so would breeding a race of three legged players. In theory.

Firstly, did you see where I said this?

Don't start talking about the legal implications and anti-competition law etc, I feel that could be got around, but I can't be bothered starting into that. 

Now, as to your point about players not coming to the UEFA countries, why not?  Just because a squad has a salary cap it doesn't follow that players won't be getting paid more than they do in South America and ME/A does it?  Europe is still where the bulk of the revenue is generated, I'm not saying that the money should not be distributed amongst the players, just that each club must have a limit that can be spent on wages - it's really quite sensible and would level the playing field.
I cannot understand why you would be so against a salary cap of some sort?
Re Germany, what restrictions arein place, presumably it's some sort of limitation on revenue, ie 70% of revenue can be expended on player wages?  If so, that's not really going to address the problems there at present.

Would a salary cap for players make smaller clubs more cometitive as the top players could earn as much with them as the bigger clubs,Or would Video Refs be a good thing?
Any other suggestions?

the sooner that happens the better. its worked wonders in the states esp in the nfl...

Aye the salary cap is great,  some players only make 160 million over a ten year period a la Brett Favre of the Packers.

Salary cap or no, the cost of going to a game continues to rise year over year and the only thing that a salary club does is keep a mickey mouse league like MLS afloat.
