I’m just thinking about Bowyers comments the other day about clubs who got players in before the cap.
So what, those salaries don’t count towards the 2.5m? If wage is already above 2.5m they can’t sign anymore players without letting others go?
So if Pearce is on £4k per week, because he signed the deal before the cap came into force, it means the Cap sees him as on the £2k p/w average?10 -

That sounds reasonable, I guess the trouble is, if we hit £2.5m for wages this season and Pearce is out of contract
The best Contract we can then offer Pearce has to be lower than what he's on now to stay below that cap0 -

I'm also not sure what happens if there is no clause but we want to offer him a contract extension.1 -

You can get round it by signing u21 as they aren’t counted, but sign too many and that comes with its own risks.0 -
I'm fairly certain clubs can still offer players contracts that exceed the wage cap, but they'll then be subject to a 200% penalty on every £ above £2.5m. So if a L1 club ends up with a wage bill (+bonuses and agents fees) of £3m, they'll actually have to shell out £4m.
It wouldn't surprise me if a few clubs end up willingly exceeding the cap on this basis, especially those that are confident of a return to the Championship. I'm sure there are clubs whose % drop in wage bill from the 19/20 season to the 20/21 L1 salary cap will be larger than their % drop in revenue and so would be willing to stomach the fine.0 - Sponsored links:

Yes he might well decide to stick it out given the January window isn't far away, but there's no guarantees he's going to get a better deal then either.
Personally i still think he'll end up at Sunderland as he's from the north east.1 -

Can wait as long as he wants and even see if an injury crisis makes a club desperate for his demands

He is a player I would take in L1 but not the Championship.0 -
Cawley says Maddison is not one of the names mentioned.1
-
Not Gregory either.1
-
It’ll be Ben Watson, good signing but getting on a bit. Not sure it necessarily warrants a raised eyebrow at his ages tbh.0
-
Yeah I'd have been shocked had Lee Gregory been an option
Not fussed about Maddison too much0 -
Whilst Watson would obviously be a superb signing at this level, when you see our bench yesterday had Williams, Oztumer, Levitt and Morgan, midfield is hardly an area we need to strengthen right now.
Priority surely has to be a right back and probably two centre backs.2 -
I wouldn’t be shocked if there was movement out as well as in when things get finalised and the embargo is lifted.0
-
It was never going to be Gregory
Iirc he moved last year for family reasons, so I don't think he would join us.1 - Sponsored links:
-
I think he is from that way anyway. I was surprised he left Millwall but moved further back to his family roots.0

Season's started and Maddison is still without a club. Ha!0
-
The "eyebrow raising" comment is a bit intriguing, it must be a bigger name than any being mentioned imo10
-
I tend to think the opposite1

Wouldn't surprise me if it is a really well known player at the twilight end of his career interested in being part of a "project" we will see 😁0
