As I understand it: It currently proposes a £4m limit on increase on wage bill for all clubs with a bill of above £52 million.

So if your bill is £65 million you're not allowed to spend more than £69 million. If your bill is £250 million you're not allowed to spend more than £254 million.

Not exactly fair play, really.

At least I hope so. I often turn round and walk home if there are delays on the patform.

[Monty91]

with that kind of can-do attitude?

because "wage bill" generally translates to "agents' fees" nowadays.

Naturally the clubs want to keep the money themselves.
