The only way I imagine you could impose wage-capping on clubs would not be at the individual level, but as some sort of ratio allowed of wages to turnover.

    Interesting that Magnusson disputes the wages quoted in the press

    he doesn't dispute that Dazza was offred in excess of £55k, he refers to "current" players.

    Somebody told me on very good authority a few months ago that Lucas Neill is on £53k per week so that fits.

    So a wage cap is offering huge money to players from other clubs to get them to sign but then moaning that for all your investment and "creative" registration procedures you still don't look like a Champions League contender.

    And now Man City and Newcastle and Birmingham and Blackburn have got big investors too so you are a bit worried that you may not have the cash cow that you thought you would so you start talking about wage caps and cutting spending.

    I'm pretty sure that clubs would find a loophole and just offer a huge signing on fee which could be hidden somewhere like under:
