  • There are many people who don’t want a salary cap since it stops people from making even more money. There are also always ways to bypass these rules. Just look at Inter Miami in the MLS or Man City tricking FFP-rules in the Prem and Champions league. There is also the problem that football is popular nearly globally and if the European team won’t pay the players the money they deserve (which could not even legally be possible) leave for leagues in the middle east. We live in a capitalist world, and sport is also capitalistic. The teams earn a lot of money, which then means that the players will make a lot of money.











  • It is more or less that teams only spend what money they earn or expect to earn in the next years. There are some local financial regulations in each league, like the 50+1 in the Bundesliga and other. How much money would you even need to spend as a newly promoted team to become the best team in the league? Maybe 1 or 2 billion, maybe more? You wouldn’t make that money back, and the only teams that do this are teams owned by billionaires that want to lose money or middle Eastern states. There is also close to zero reason for German football fans from a different club than Bayern to cheer for them in the UCL. The most important title for teams is ALWAYS the national championship, not the UCL.

    Even if a team like Heidenheim is able to spend enough money to be on the same level as Bayern, what would bring the team expect short-term success and a lot of debt ?
