Final in the United States!?? That’s disgusting, the final match should be played in it’s own continent.

I’d be fuming if my team made the UCL final and I had to travel to the USA to watch it. UEFA is ridiculous

Meanwhile Toed Bohely with another 600 ml $ in his pocket ☠️

The Salary cap makes sense but taking the final to USA makes no sense. Its literally a European competition played by European clubs

If it's relative to brand income then its just another way to keep the richest teams at the top.

Im scared that a salary cap in UEFA will turn big players away and to Saudi Arabia instead where they can spend money like crazy

"But sir there is a certain individual named Todd Boeh......." We don't talk about that

Fiago’s enthusiasm is smth else😂

As an American the US final sounds ridiculous, We have our own continental champions league

If the salary cap is a fixed percentage of the club's revenue then it doesn't fix anything since the wealthier clubs will still have more money to sign better players, unlike the US where all the teams have the same salary cap since it's determined on the overall league revenue. If anything, this just takes money away from the players and into the club owners' wallets.

This is one of those ideas that sounds good on paper, but falls apart under the tiniest bit of scrutiny

As an American, I think it's preposterous to host ANY European final in the States. Would we want our super bowl to be played in London? Hell no. I don't want it to come here. That would absolutely tarnish the trophy. I DO wish we had a bigger tournament than the CONCACAF cup but what can you do?

Salary Cap with all excess savings going to UEFA officials. That’s what they really mean.

A salary cap may well be contrary to EU competition law. It's a grey area that has yet to be tested in the courts.

I'd gladly have this. It means that clubs are actually focused on developing their academy talents, instead of just buying a 100 mil player to fill in a position in the next transfer window

As an American, the UCL should stay in Europe like its always been. It's European for reason.

That salary cap thing is actually not that bad, restricting a team to Allot less than 200 or maybe 250-300k per week salary to a player or having a limit of spending less than 100-150 mil in a single transfer window doesn't matter how lengthy of a contract you provide can actually make the league a lot more interesting It's obvious that owners have found a loop hole in the FFP rules and they are basically non existent at this point seeing that Juventus' points were returned and Man city's allegations are also not progressing, so preventing corruption from this point onwards doesn't sound bad

A salary cap is needed. There is now a top tier of 10 clubs in Europe. Everything needs to become closer together.

FIA : "Wait I've seen this before" Fifa : "What do you mean ? It's brand new"

I’m American and I personally like salary caps in our leagues such as the NBA and NFL. It helps to spread out talent more evenly and also helps smaller teams keep their star players. One thing that I personally dislike about football is that smaller clubs don’t really have anyway to stop bigger sides from buying their young talent bc they don’t have the same funds, so it’s like there’s a cap on the level of talent they can develop before they’re gutted by bigger clubs. That being said I would completely understand if most football fans don’t want to adopt. Also as much as I would love to see it, holding the UCL final in America doesn’t make any sense imo

That's actually a genius way of fighting your rival. Copy his most profitable ideas and discard only the ones that people don't like😂

I don't really care why they are thinking this, but it's a smart idea. I think though there's should be a maximum amount above the % of the revenue, cause some clubs make 100 times as much as other small clubs.

The biggest European competition final played outside of Europe. 💀

As an American salary caps make our sports leagues (except for mlb) much more competitive but I get that people don’t like change

Look at Messi… Barca kept on giving him a new deal every season until they weren’t able to pay him. Something like “salary cap” is a great idea, I’m also thinking it will give clubs a chance of signing better players. PSG gave Mbappe a 200million deal, imagine if there was a salary cap in place, his buyout would’ve been so low that even Newcastle could’ve afforded to pay it having gained their own “oil team” status 😂

The super league has to happen. The clubs take the risks and attract the fans. Why is uefa taking 40/50 percent of the revenues for “organizing” the competition. It happened in European basketball and it will happen in football

It's actually just like F1 after they implemented the rules now redbull can finally achieve their prime after covered by Mercedes Shadow for the past years

I watch NFL and Football and can confirm there’s much more diversity in winners in NFL and I think football should be similar, we would all love fairytale titles like Leicester winning the prem and porto winning the champions league more often

This is actually not too bad of an idea

I think it’s a good idea because it’s nice to see smaller clubs have a chance to win stuff instead of the same teams always winning.

This is going to cause enormous infighting within players of the same clubs. Terrible idea. As if clubs like PSG weren't FC Hollywood to begin with. Horrible.

a final in the us is what everyone wants respect to him for trying new creative ideas

I would like there to be salary caps as well transfer fee caps. No team should be spending 100m plus on a player, it's getting out of hand.

Even if it is a good idea, the only salary this man cares about is his own

That is How FFP in LaLiga works, its just in premier league and PSG where those rules don't exist.

As an American who enjoys European football, I would love to see my favorite players play a champions league final and not have to travel to Europe for a lot of money. But I totally understand why European football championships shouldn’t happen in America. It’s like having the Super Bowl in England.

This would be a genius idea, because players wouldn't be tempted by money and actually choose clubs they like. Or it would just make arab leagues more powerful.

No never. Because football is club oriented sport. So, player mostly play in one football league. In a sport like cricket where international career and club career is 50/50, and players are able to play in multiple leagues, salary capping works as resources (in this case players) are shared and distributed. Please don't bring salary cap to football, it will make the sport poorly financed.

Just another point is the big clubs make big revenue so the percentage difference between big clubs and small clubs will remain. A slight edit should be something like a salary cap budget for example 200m and an additional 10-15% of the total revenue.

As an American, I think the salary cap is a great idea. Here in America every team has their good and bad times and with a salary cap we never see super teams that win 10 straight titles. Sure some teams dominate for awhile but in all fairness we also have the draft so if you suck for awhile and get lots of good picks you are set. As an Everton fan I think it would be great because I feel I could go my whole life without seeing us ever win the premier league with how the money runs in football. I think the salary cap would need to be done differently then my revenue because then the top teams would stay the top teams, Bayern would still dominate the Bundesliga, Barca and Real Madrid would dominate LaLiga and so on and so forth. I think if they had a more even salary cap it would make football so much better. Teams like Everton could get better players because now teams like Arsenal, Man City, Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle can’t just buy up every good player in England. I also think a team like Everton could keep the good players in the Academy because they know they won’t get a massive bag at many clubs because of the limit they have to spend

This is definitely one of the most controversial questions in football

It would be nice to see underdogs win just like the NHL

If you want the Champions League to be competitive, just bring back the european cup format where you had to actually win your league just to get in the tournament and straight knock outrounds(2 legs) Clubs like Ajax Benfica Porto Celtic Dortmund Atletico would all have an actual chance to win it

It will be a good decision,cuz as Man city signing Superstars over superstars where there fan base and revenue are less ,they will be unable to do that

Imagine watching your team with the CL at 4am

they have one in like all the american sports and as an american it works very well and makes everything more exciting

I mean, it does work in the us, this could for example lead to relegated teams having their salary cap reduced and subsequent player wages reduced by a factor of *blank* as well as meaning not the same team wins it every year

The idea of spendings limit is very much necessary, the club dominance is mainly because of the money being infused in the club. Currently there's almost no chance for clubs other than a few top clubs in most of the leagues in Europe. I think the UEFA must implement this to give more clubs a chance for the glory.

Talk more about brazillian football please 🙏

A salary cap is a great idea. It’s how American sports stay competitive.

the cap on player is a cap for a certain man by the name of mba..... oh we dont go about that

Maybe it don't make sense, but I think there should be a system who guarantees a maximum amount of money, and that should be more strict if the club is doing well in national or European competitions, that way bigger teams couldn't upgrade their squad with the best players every season, and so the smaller teams will improve and that could help the competition between clubs

As a Newcastle fan don’t do this. We haven’t had our fun yet

This will save Football. It works perfectly in the MLS and other American sports. You never have a single dominant team for more than 2 or 3 years. It keeps things so much more interesting. Its exactly what Football needs in order to be refreshing.

As an f1 fan I can tell u that this solves some problems by creating others. Even though it’s better to have it than not imo

Salary caps based on sporting revenue is absolutely a better structure than on all of a Club’s revenue. As of now, State-owned clubs can manipulate their way out of any limits by charging “the UAE’s or Qatar’s office of tourism $3Billions for in-stadium billboards” which is clearly not market and simply a way to game yourself out of the cap using the resources of a sovereign state and distorting the competition

As much as I’d love to see the top players in the world compete live in person, a UCL final in America is just ridiculous.

Imagine thry put a salary cap and every team buys a player for 80% of their cap and the rest of the players get 20% 😂 The wage gap will finally be real.

i like the idea of a luxury tax, similar to what baseball does, where if a team spends over a certain amount theyll face penalties and be taxed on the money they spend over a certain threshold

If every club is allowed to spend a fixed %age of their revenue then their plan is a failure from the beginning. Clubs like city, utd, real or barca earn the most so they can pay the most, it will become a vicious cycle as more money means better players and better players means more money and poor team will never win.

Let the Latin American fans enjoy a fucking match without having to pay 4000 dollars for a damn ticket

Salary cap is one of the things modern football needs

They’re shooting their own feet. It salary cap happens, the Super Cup is inevitable

Salary cap is a great idea, but it must be implemented in all top 5 leagues, not just one. If it's implemented in just one, that league will just go to shit

The thing is who else will get all the rest of the money? The players deserve it much more than some managers in the background at least.

100% agreed this would be a great thing no more farmers leagues

I have fantasized about a ucl style cup between the top teams from America's vs the top European teams...if hosting the ucl here is a step in that direction then I'm for it... A salary cap on European clubs would suddenly make the rich Saudi teams muchhhhh more attractive. It *feels* like the wrong move.

Wage cap is a nice tool to cap how much investors have to distribute to players and thus they get some nice returns.

salary caps are just a way for owners to earn more while making sure players earn less as the same issue in the US has shown time and time agaim

UCL final in America is disqusting. That is like America hosting Euro 2024.

Definitely doing it to pander to us. Even if it is a good idea in theory (don't scorn me please) it would solve a lot of the oil money stuff. It's why the bundesliga is really cool in that every team has so much fan ownership that you can't just make a city or Real Madrid. You have to have a good board and manager and scouting department. Every league would have to do it because the NFL is only one league which is why the cap works same with NHL

Salary cap shouldn't be relative to income (that's similar to the system we currently have with FFP) because it still keeps all the rich clubs at the top. It should be a set limit that clubs can hit if they want to, but don't have to. The figure should be between 250m-300m I think, so that the rich clubs can still pay about what they're doing now but so that they can't pull a PSG (my club) in 2021 where our wage bill was 430m at one point, that is disgusting and just simply wrong

All the big clubs will be damaged, but on the other side this may bring back the gold age of football which you can see teams such as dortmond or Porto or Roma win the UCL and in the next season bing the 7th in their league, this will add much more intensity and enjoyment to football overall.

Salary cap is absolutely needed. The only issue I can think of is that other leagues (such as saudi) wouldn't have one... meaning they can pay players way more, and this possibly could lead to a complete decline of European football...

Realistically, the salary cap exists already as where teams are allowed to spend however much they make from player sales, sponsors, tickets, merch, etc. Obviously there are teams that breach this (Man City) but most teams stick to this. A hard salary cap, like the NHL, would be pretty cool, it would curb spending and it would allow for teams to have a more equal chance, but it would also be a way for owners to save tons of money.

What's next? Clubs in uefa are tanking for the #1 pick of the uefa draft? UCL will be a play-offs 7 game series? Europe all star game? Long shot contest? Trade deadlines?

Salary cap makes senses, I have seen few clubs to out of business and a salary cap could help preventing that

In IPL, every team get a fixed amount to spend to get the players in the auction. This helps to maintain balance within the teams.

Nah like that small teams wouldn't be able to do nothing since they don't get a lot of money compared to ghe big clubs, which doesn't change things a lot, and clubs would have to stick to their players which means that they can't change a lot in their dquads which makes it a bit less intresting

Oh I hope they do the wages thing cuz things are getting out of hand.

Salary cap seems like a good idea for parity among clubs and increased competition, until 20-30 years later, the value of football has further inflated, owners are making massive killing and players wages, the main attraction, are a paltry 30% of club's earnings.

Leagues MIGHT be more competitive, international competitions too, but the big clubs would still dominate

Salary cap based on team earnings wouldn't chance a thing. The have an impact the limit amount should be the same for every team

As a united fan I am against a salary cap, high wages are the only thing that gets us top tier talent, even if they immediately become terrible straight after lol if we couldn't offer a high salary then we'd have players getting the most abuse of any sports people for the same money they'd get anywhere else, abuse from media and rival fans on twitter is insane for utd players

Ffp Is about the % a team can use in their salaries, that is already there. It'd be better to regulate the market. Number of games in first division gives you something, goals, stats, minutes, etc. giving you a real valuation on the players and avoiding this inflation just because big teams want money for every player even if they haven't played in their 1st team, but are sold for 10 or 15M as it has happened in italy

The Australian league is the only leagues in the world to have a salary cap and from experience I can confirm that every season the league has a different winner and is always highly competitive

Has to be a blanket salary cap. Having it based off of revenue won't change a thing for Bayern, PSG, etc.

The issue with Euros going with a Salary cap is promotion and delptions of teams. No owner wants to invest their money to loose it all worh a demotion. Theres a reason why no US pro league does it

A salary cap based on income of the team will have the same exact teams with big players again. At least with rich owners there’s a chance for a team to be able to compete with historically bigger and richer teams

I think it's not a good idea because team executives would just profit outrageously from that. Imagine that a team x has a given cap. But since they were able to get the best players to come play for this club x, they are the most profitable club, causing their revenue and profit to grow. At that point, several questions arise: the first one is whether the players should get paid more with the bigger budget next year. The current teams that are already at the top of the food chain are already able to pay the highest salaries, so they will continue to win. I don't see how a salary cap helps there. In my opinion, more scrutiny on how financial fair play is enforced is better. Outside investment from oil countries should be heavily regulated

A Small Tournament In Cricket Do That, Called IPL . Every Team Has Same Budget , Every Year They Go To Auction , From That Budget They Pick Players.

i think the general idea is good it works well in the NBA for example that keeps the great teams from overbuilding

I beg to differ, a salary cap would still favor the biggest teams. Clubs like Real Madrid, Man United or Bayern Munich are massive brands and their generated income is miles above anyone else's. So a budget based on actual revenue and salary cap would hurt the smaller clubs and basically doom all of central and eastern Europe's clubs to languish in the conference and sometimes go and become the punching bags of the big ones. Basically the margins between the top leagues and the rest would grow even wider.

Football should earn a as much as the club can generate and relative to the market. It us, the average 9to5 workers, who are under paid compared to what our companies/ industries generate.

Salary cap should be on the individual or the same value for each club. Cap based on revenue is another idea weighted towards the current big clubs, its FFP 2.0

As an American, UEFA meatriding the US would be the worst thing for football since the Super League

Even if this salary cap will be impented, big clubs will still have some ways to deal with it, so again, it's useless

Honestly, I don't see this with good eyes, because this is how team owners can increase your wealth, because I don't think that the income from television rights, commercial income and from tickets sold at matches will decrease .

Take the best from both worlds.. sounds like how you could fix the middle east problem, but there are always terms and limitations. I like the idea, of lowering prices for fans

Even though i live in the us i wouldn't want the final to be here,so many people wouldn't be able to make it here and alot of of people in America dont take kindly to foreigners
