Rejected petition Salary Cap on all football teams and clubs
More details
Footballers are the highest paid athletes in the U.K and get paid far too much for what they do. I propose a salary cap on all footballers and be fairly priced on their ability and age. The cap should be atleast around 50-75% of wages and then a further 15% on transfers and loans.
In the U.S and Canada most sports teams cap their clubs spending on players, physiotherapy etc.
What should happen to the money that is being subsidised from them:
1. The money will then go into government funding to promote other sports in the U.K for children in all areas.
2. To actually make more elite sports recognisable in the U.K (only some sports are available to go and actually visit and are televised)
With this proposition, it will mean that clubs going into administration can regain revenue and to then broaden sporting events within this Country
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This is one for football authorities, not the Government.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
