I don't know Brin , 35k a year for doing something you love rather than have to earn a crust in a factory or a warehouse distribution centre for probably less doesn't seem too bad in my opinion .

Plenty of Rugby League players put their bodies on the line for that kind of money and they come from more or less the same backgrounds as footballers .

I reckon plenty of National League players will play professionally for around that kind of money too .

I don't think the game would collapse either because nobody is restricting your ability to earn the mega bucks if you are good enough to play above League one level .

What we have today is a market led game , however the market only really applies to the Premier League who have the financial capability to pay the mega money the EFL doesn't but chooses not to face that reality , our friends down the road at S6 are a classic example .

A club who paid Barry Bannon 35k a week to play in league one !!! .

My doubts about a salary cap in football below the Premier League coming to fruition isn't based on the fact i think it wouldn't work it's the fact that the people within the game refuse to see reality , recognising what you are seems to be the issue .

That's not helped by fans who don't always want to admit what they are either in reality , nobody who follows Wednesday complained when Chansiri was spending millions a few years back or even considered what would happen if they didn't make it to the Premier League .

The whole of the EFL needs a financial reset such as a salary cap but the culture within football makes that a difficult thing to face up to in my opinion .
