EFL Salary Cap abolished

Damage already done this season though by abiding to it.

Not saying Donald would have coughed up like but we surely would have had a little more freedom than we have had.

We would have signed Fraser who is the best CM I've seen this season - hope we go for him in the summer.
 
This was the view of Sunderland fans (not all of them but a fair old whack) when we were in the premier league and weren't benefitting from the salary cap as much as the likes of Manchester City or Liverpool were. Now we're in the third division and have a salary cap that pretty much cripples us while benefitting smaller teams, it seems that the way that the premier league do it is suddenly not that unfair ;)
In principle I’m not against a cap but at the top level it has to be global and the reality is that they’ll get around it by being creative on fees just making even less tax being paid.

what they’ve tried to do in L1 falls way short given how much money is now pumped into the championship by a lot of clubs. we’d just see L1 plundered every season. A cap really needs to start at the top and work it’s way down otherwise there’ll always be issues.
 
I would go as far as saying this being scrapped has almost saved the football club. Thankfully now with a loaded owner we can throw some actual cash and ambition to create a squad. Had it not been scrapped we were fucked
 
It would have been interesting if we had just ignored the cap all along, signed Fraser and whoever else we wanted and gambled on it being overturned.

The problem is that Parkinson might have signed loads of shite instead of just a few.
