Quote: Pieman "if that was true no club could go into administration....oh hang on a minute

We went into financial meltdown due to the new stand costing far more than was budgeted due to all the issues it run into, bear in mind Leeds spent more than us over this period but had far less success.'"


Which of the 'bigger clubs' has gone into administration while we've had the salary cap?

I think I said "... spend money they don't have".

The salary cap was brought in for all clubs.....to stop them spending more money they dont have. Doesnt work does it....

I know this - but this isn't the point I was addressing.

Coventry Warrior! said that the salary cap punished 'bigger clubs', you mentioned administration, so once again I ask which of the bigger clubs has gone into administration since the introduction of the salary cap?

Those clubs that have gone into administration can be looked upon as collateral damage with a 'greater good' approach for the sport as a whole.

Quote: inside_man "Leeds are the champions, no arguments about that. They performed the best in the post-season.

I was answering the comment that they don't need to improve, they finished fifth during the regular season, they were the fifth best team. They need to improve.'"
They play-offs aren’t post season, they are part of the season, Leeds finished first last year, not fifth. The league table doesn’t include all fixtures nor the importance of them.

Whilst it would undoubtedly be nice to improve our record last year conclusively proved we don’t need to.

Quote: Fat Boy "4) The salary cap does not 'punish bigger clubs' at all, it prevents them from being daft enough to think that they can spend money they don't have and end up not being a 'bigger club' or in fact a club at all.'"

It does also stop them spending money they do have.

The Salary Cap as it is, is a farce which doesn’t make sense and is counter-poductive.

This, I've always thought of Superleague to be like the champions league qualifiers, which you then move onto the knockout stage. Would anyone argue that qualifying 1st in your group is more of an achievement than finishing 2nd and winning the CL outright? Obviously it's not like for like as their are less teams in each group, but the principle is similar.
