no more salary cap. how can aussie teams entice decent players or seriously compete in the acl against teams who have unlimited amounts to spend

sure, if you like several clubs going bankrupt and a split between the aristocracy and the paupers like in every other bloody league. we've got to walk before we run.

survival of the fittest my friend

the success of 8 a-league clubs is more important than melbourne and sydney being able to do well in the AFCCL - if the mariners and other small-market clubs fold, it doesn't matter how much money sydney can spend, there'd be no league for them anyway.

Simply put, if we try to entice better and more expensive players we'll start competing with EPL, Serie A and La Liga clubs and they have more than enough money to gazump an Aussie club anytime, if they want to.

There's not enough money in sports (in total) in Australia to have the available dollars to get the best players. Those from Australia who are presently playing EPL/Serie A command millions. Let alone the likes of Kaka, Ronaldo & co.

Better to cap the clubs here, have all the HAL clubs develop along under rules that hold them back from being stupid with player's demands for $$, and have the better club managements work out ways to develop their players, and get a right mix of senior and junior players.

 

[SNOWMARINER]

We have got to have salary caps but ones that increase as sponsorship dollars build over seasons. We can't expect it will happen overnight and smart management like we have at the Mariners keeping the balance between the best team possible and being financially responsible is the best way to entice more sponsorship.

I just hope we outlay money on a marquee to lift our profile and give us a good chance of being serious contenders come next years ACL.

Salary Cap stays, permanently.

By the way, I also think that EVERY Football League should have a cap. Can you imagine being a supporter of a club other than Man Utd, Olympique Flaming Arsenalle, Spartak Chel$ki or the Scouse Gits (of the red variety) and KNOWING you cannot win the EPL (honourable mention Blackburn Rovers)?

One of Football's few weaknesses is that there is a massive salary discrepancy in the major leagues. Real and Barca will stop at NOTHIng to buy whom ever they choose, and I do not think that is good in the long run.

Our league will prosper if the cap stays. If not, Frank will buy a team of stars and Bling FC will win 10 premierships in a row. Great for the Cove, crap for the other teams AND the future of the League.

UEFA and the EU will probably never address these issue, but imagine a streamlined EPL with 12-16 teams (inclusive of Celtic, the Ibrox Heathens, a Dublin team out of Landsdowne Rd or Croke Park and a team of Taffees based at the Millenium Stadium), ALL with the same Salary Cap? Then we would see whom the best Management and Physio staff really are, and we'd have a fascinating league with multiple champions each decade.

The two highest supporter leagues in the world are, in order, the NFL & the AFL. What do they both have:

1. Salary Cap
2. Draft

I defy ANYONE to say these two Leagues are unsuccessful.

I'm in full agreeance with the cap but yet to be convinced that a draft is necessary. Two examples why that is... 1. The NRL seems to have a pretty even comp (they seem to have a different Grand Final winner every year - more or less - and no draft in place). 2. AFL accusations of Carlton's late season "tanking" in order to get a higher draft pick. This would definitely have to be addressed if a draft was implemented.

 

[kepo]

increase the salary cap and make everyone play each other one more time. Extend the comp.
MORE GAMES NEEDED!!!
Get the finals series out of the end of the school holidays!

 

[Gav...]

definately extend the comp. every 1 plays each other 4 times. increase the salary cap and introduce a youth draft.

 

[MattSimon]

I am a big fan of the salary cap. Sure, after I win the golden boot next season I will be worth millions of dollars to CCM and in order to stay at Gosford I will need to accept a pay cut, but it's better in the long run for the league.

 

[Don]

Yeh Matt has scored goals in the past,i just think his a very good footballer,
and too get noticed you need to score more often,i think his one of the work horses
of the team.

Perth seemed to be tanking about Rd1 last yr (lol) without draft picks in the league imagine if there were. I reckon it works for AFL but not football

 

[Wombat]

Mainly Friday at Sat games only...and never b4 6pm.

Some decent refs....current crop are disgraceful.

Someone kill Craig Foster.

Mariners theme song to be played over the PA before the game.  Get the bloke from Star FM to write it...he's a good song writer (must have a chantable chorus).

Strippers at half time.
