Everton and Liverpool will find themselves impacted when it comes to how much they can spend on wages as new plans to introduce a salary cap in the Premier League are set to be discussed.
The Times reported on Monday that plans for a cap to try and keep the Premier League more competitive would be discussed at the League’s annual meeting later this week in Hampshire, with proposals centred around how much television money is paid to the team that finishes bottom of the league.
The ‘anchoring’ proposals would see wages have to fall in line with what the bottom team earned from broadcast rights, with clubs allowed to spend four times that sum, although the Times report states that the exact details have yet to be defined and will be discussed in more depth in the coming days. Such a proposal, the report claims, has opposition from some of the biggest sides in the League.
