      Cost certainty and a theoretical ceiling on player wages.

      No idea how it could work in an open league system, especially when a fair chunk of revenue is dependent on results and other leagues lack it.

      I always figured they’d lean towards an MLB-style luxury tax.

      More sustainable to have a wage cap, assuming it’s a percentage of revenue, and they’d still be able to outspend their peers on the continent because of the much larger revenue overall.

      I believe UEFA is talking about bringing one in as well.

        its pointless. they’ll just get paid through other means. shady sponsors,shell companies, payments to relatives etc. and then some championship club is gonna get fined to oblivion for doing the same thing but not having good lawers.
