Firstly, any ethical issues aside - clubs can't break the cap even if they wanted to these days as it is live - the players wouldn't be registered to play. Secondly, are you aware that Wigan were recently the only club to vote in favour of scrapping the salary cap at a recent vote? It was voted down 11-1.
That answers all the arguments about the priorities of the other clubs then. They'd rather win a poor league, than play in a great one.
And to think, actual fans of Wigan think we should just accept it. What's the point in having power if you aren't going to use it?
Like I said, enjoy watching Wigan Globe Trotters if that’s your idea of fun.
You make the most bizarre statements then accuse people of not responding then ignore the fact you look silly when they do and go on another mad train of debate.
Very random indeed.
You only find it bizarre because you don't agree with it. Or worse, you can't get accept I'm right.
I've showed you one of the most profitable and biggest brands in world sport. You've decided, for some strange reason, they don't count.
Madrid should be the absolute goal for every sporting club in the world. They produce world class players, sign top tier talent - all whilst making money hand over fist and doing what's right for them. Do you think they care that a team like Girona don't get to compete?
You are getting yourself mixed in your own arguments.
1 - Saying Wigan should win every trophy and then saying we should intentionally break the cap (which would result in us winning no trophies)
2 - Using the Spain and Real Madrid example, without acknowledging that Spanish clubs can only spend what they earn (revenue).
3 - Stating the cap isn't working instead of saying "the cap isn't working as intended" or "the benefits of removing/increasing the cap would far outweigh those keeping it as it is"
I am sure everyone agrees something needs to be done with the cap, a better tv deal, more academies/reserves, better promoting of the sport etc but you lose credibility when you use outlandish claims and examples.
I'm not, you're just misunderstanding it.
The Spanish league is an example a league, where despite all the power and trophies are being shared between two (maybe three) sides - the sport in that country continues to flourish.
It's a proven example that having/wanting a competitive league, where the bottom side can beat the top side - doesn't need to be the north star that RL makes it out to be. It was a direct response to the posters who say that Wigan winning everything is bad for business. That argument is simply not true.
The sport can still flourish (& has done previously), even when there's a big disparity in how competitive each side is.
