Peterborough owner Darragh MacAthony has spoken out and suggested a good compromise in order to protect lower league clubs. Alas this isn't implemented yet, but may well have saved Bury FC if it had been.

He is calling on all League 1 and 2 clubs to put in place a ceiling cap of a maximum wage of £6,000 a week to players.

'If we don't do something it will be someone else's club to go bust next' he explained. The Posh boss has formulated a 10 point plan to ease the financial strain in the lower leagues, including a £2 million fund to bail out stricken clubs.

MacAnthony wants players, and their union, the PFA, to agree to limit salaries for the good of the game.


Think back to Bury. They had players on £10,000 a week, an absolute joke and no wonder they went under.
I personally think that all Chairmen of the lower leagues should call a meeting with the PFA and get this thrashed out and implemented.

I feel Tony Stewart already practices this and maybe is the reason why we haven't signed 'certain' players and if this is true, then well done TS for standing your ground.

Comments anyone?
