Gotta say Barry I think you're spot on with the sour grapes thing. If some bloke came in and made Ronaldhino his first signing, followed by various other superstars not many would complain.
My point about the salary/transfer capping is one of my soap box issues. Believe it or not I've been saying it for years. Is it enough for, say that Sunderland fan who came on yeterday to have an ambition which amounts to avoiding relegation? Year in, year out they can't win anything? I think the playing field excavation and relaying is long overdue.
My favoured method is an overall salary cap. Each team is allowed to pay a maximum of 20 million a year in salaries. Pay Gerrard 5 mill a year if you want, but that only leaves 15 mill for the rest of the squad. Simple and effective.
I have to say i think it would be boring if there was a cap on wages and player purchases.
I dont know about you but i like the David v Goliath Match-ups ,it gives David even more reason to try harder.
