JTP 221 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The BBC gossip column has today reports that Man City have offered Ibrahimovic a 4 year deal worth £96M, that's £500K A WEEK!Further down the page they have Jason Roberts move to QPR won't happen as he wants £30 A WEEK. I mean Jason Roberts wants £30K a week FFS. Guys like this couldn't lace wee Stevie D's boots.It's getting ridiculous down there and more and more we'll suffer because of it. It's quite possible that Jelavic is courting an EPL offer.In light of this, and considering our lengthy transfer negotiations this summer, are we being harsh on the club for penny pinching or sticking to a budget?Will it take a top 10 club in England to go BUST before we start seeing caps in transfers/wages?Or do we all need to cancel our SKY subscriptions and hope they go bust aswell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebestest 2,148 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The end is surely looming nigh of these sorts of wages. I reckon before the Olympics is over we'll see the first wage caps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmccallsfall 4 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The thing is too, say after two or three years Ibrahimovic wants to move on its a lose lose situation for his old and new club. There's no way they'll recoup the money selling him on so what's the point in that. Man City will be first to go to the wall because as we've seen with Man Utd, buying the league and the Champions League does not make you money, it gets you into millions/billions of debt.

Ozblue 4,332 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I would love to see a salary cap just to see how Platini and that wee two faced crunt Blatter would get around that poser. In one breath they complain about clubs going broke and that all clubs should be equal...and then they turn around and say that players should be able to get what they are worth, which equates to a salary cap equalling a constraint of trade.....Talk about running with the hare and chasing with the fucking fox!

4MenHadADream 122 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Thing is with wages like that at city, if he was ever to move anywhere else from there he would end up having to take a 50-100% pay cut, so even if City wanted rid of him at some point, don't think they would manage.

bluenose4life 5 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 salary caps are illegal, however fifa could make a rule that clubs are not allowed to spend over x ammount on wages in total per year thus forcing them to cap themself? I know there is a new rule about debt in the CL thats either about to come in or has been talked about coming in, that if you are spending more than you earn, you wont be allowed in to the CL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquire8 43,729 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Its going to end in tears for alot of clubs down south. They're spending far too much because far too much is getting passed around. Only the likes of Arsenal and Everton will survive this because they're spending within their means. Man Utd, Chelsea, Tottenham and Man City will crash back down to earth sooner rather than later. I can't wait till that happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
