All the people moaming its handicapped us are the same ones that used.to moan when we couldnt compete with the bigger clubs cause they pay fortunes
Well that’s got nothing to do with the argument even if it is true. There is a whole lot of difference to not being able to afford, than being told you can’t have it no matter how much money you have
 
That would cause more problems if smaller clubs ended up trying to spend more than they could afford just because they were allowed to. The system needs proportionality of income and expenditure which is the same for each club. The system needs to be about sustainability and ensuring clubs live within the means. If clubs spend the cap on the wrong players, that's the fault of the clubs, not the system.
That's my point. The salary cap rules imposed behaviours on the club that were inherently good ideas. Removing them jsut means that the bad behaviours are easier to exhibit. We should take the good parts of the salary cap (there are definitely a few things that are desireable) and voluntarily impose them on ourselves. We'll be better off as a club in the long term if we do
 
If this takeover does eventually go through we will be able to see if they do actually mean business in the summer and we buy some good players for decent fees. It was easy to hide behind the salary cap.
 
A salary cap makes no sense at all given the vastly different infrastructures at clubs, but something needs to be done.

I prefer the Spanish system where the League decides how much each club is permitted to spend on salaries and transfers based on its projected income and expenditure. Any change to that limit can only come from player sales or capital injections.
Jesus mate. Are you prepared to let the EFL loose with something like that?
