Sabri Will He Stay Be Sacked Or Quit

[Tricky]

A contract's a contract. The efl wouldn't be able to amend the legal terms between two parties who entered into the contract, unless the government changed the law which isnt going to happen. Any wage cap will surely only be able to apply to new contracts entered into after the implementation date.  And then some player or the pfa will challenge it through the courts, like Bosman did.

Unless of course the change is approved by the PFA! They are the players representatives and contractual changes can be implemented through a collective agreement between the two sides...............in this case the EFL and the PFA.

It is certainly debatable whether the PFA would go along with this proposal, as it would be going against the best interests of their members. But if the EFL argue the case that if this doesn't happen, then many professional footballers will lose their jobs as clubs may fold, then that is a different issue for them to decide. Do they protect jobs or over inflated wages?

What can the PFA do?


The root cause of the problem is over paying players; Clubs are paying over 100% of income in wages


The Union can threaten strike action like the Rugby players Union did a few weeks back only to see sense and accept the new terms.


The Union has to accept that the times have changed.

I totally agree with you JCK. I was merely pointing out that players may have no choice but to accept a wage cap, if the PFA approve it, under a collective agreement.

I am not saying thats what they should do (striking) or is something I would like to see happen etc
