Mind you, Steve Parish green lit his club paying Max Meyer, former wonder kid from Germany, £180k/week 5 years ago. If anyone took full advantage of the early benefits that came from the Premier League blossoming into the world’s most commercially successful league, it was him. He contributed to the problem and is now looking to put a cap on it because it doesn’t benefit him anymore. He misses the days where his club could spend £32 million on Benteke and that was as expensive as the flops use to be back then.

Btw, while Steve Parish is the topic. He proposes we put a cap on the women’s game. The investment required to make the Crystal Palace women’s team competitive is comparatively small compared to every other aspect of running the men’s team. When they talk to the fans, he’ll happily say things like we need to spend to take the next step. But the same logic isn’t applied to the women’s game. He doesn’t get it and doesn’t even want to attempt to get it.

This would legitimately kill the PL if they did that.

The horse has bolted

It would just strengthen other leagues

Why would they do that though?

Salary caps don’t aid parity, they just screw over labor for the sake of billionaires’ bottom line. It’s a myth owners tell fans to get them to be okay with it.

"Revenue sharing* is what creates parity. Call me when the big European leagues starting doing that American-style.
