A sport where every fan can put their shirt on in the morning proud in what it stands for, safe in the knowledge that the traditions and heritage of their club will always be there.

Pleased to Second the motion & to say Cumbria County Council voted to back Fair Game and its mission to reform the governance of football in England.

Lets do the same in Lancashire

Cumbria Council votes unanimously to back Fair Game as momentum grows — Fair Game

“The financial model of football is broken. It is fans, and the local communities who suffer as a result of the broken model,” says Cllr Ben Shirley

Meaningless nonsense.

If you want to create a sustainable future for football pay the players less. Job done!

But that's a huge call between the Prem Clubs, Agents, PFA, UFA,FIFA, TV Companies etc etc etc let alone the little old Champ. & L's 1/ 2.
The only people to be in with a chance would be The Government (s?)
Genuine Question - Is there a Pro. Football Salary Cap in any other Country ?

I don't think so in football. However there is in both codes of rugby. I'm not entirely sure of the ins-and-outs of it in rugby league but it is supposed to make it a level playing field giving all the teams an equal chance. It works well in Australia, not so much in Britain given that one of St Helens, Wigan or Leeds win it every year!
 
In Rugby League the salary cap is strictly monitored on an ongoing basis

Changes were made so teams would be punished in the season they transgressed rather than play the system to stay up and take the rap the following season when points deductions etc might be easier to accommodate. It saved Wigan one year at the expense of Castleford. The big 3, plus sometimes Warrington, do dominate but they all have well developed acadamies and a production line of talent to replace those more expensive players they might have to let go

Things are much closer regulated in Spain hence Barca having to let Messi go.

Each club is given a salary cap ahead of each season based on their previous revenues and spending. This means that bigger clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona are able to spend significantly more than smaller clubs who don’t generate as much money.

Guess this would help keep the big clubs big whilst making it even harder for PNE to compete.
