Introduce a salary cap to english football.
To introduce a salary cap preventing english football clubs paying playing staff more than £50k a week.
The current Covid-19 situation has highlighted a massive disparity within the game. Premier League players continue to receive enough each week to cover the costs of several families for a year yet football clubs are asking for the Government to provide financial support for non playing staff and in some cases are letting staff go.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government is not responsible for setting maximum salaries for particular workers.
You could start a petition calling on the Government to create a new income tax rate for people earning above a certain salary, if that is what you want to happen.
You could also start a petition calling on the Government to only allow businesses to access the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme if all of their staff are furloughed.
