Its quite a simple equation really.
The salary cap here needs to be lifted.
However, the stark reality is that the game here can only afford to do that if it significantly increases its income streams which effectively boils down to making it more attractive / appealing to spectators, sponsors, TV companies, etc. That will lie with IMG.
Most of the clus are lossmaking and rely on benefactors. Simply increasing the CAP without extra income would be a recipe for disaster.
I'm sure everyone will have their own view on how we increase the income and for some the answer will not be palatable.
I'm in the camp that we need to spread the game to encompass some major towns and cities. That may be at the expense of those clubs that take everything, invest little and are just glad to survive every season with little ambition. Not naming names but clubs whos subs bench favvers 4 school chairs would be on my hit list! Towns like Fev with all their history but with a population of 15,000 and surrounded by other clubs are never going to generate huge income (no disrespect) but they could well be in the top flight next season.
With the game in Australia so far ahead in the financial stakes like it or not we will see plenty of talent drifting over there- they can even afford to take a punt on lesser players given the spare cash they have. Unless we generate more ££££ we can whinge as much as we want but it is inevitable.
