Limit Premier League football player wages to £100,000 per week.
Change the terms of UK Premier League football player contracts such that the players club wages are capped at an absolute maximum of £100k per week.
Football is a sport and the success of any given club in the Premier Leagues should be driven by sporting ability and not by the depth of the Board's pockets or the ability of the club to borrow money in order to buy players.
Limiting players salaries via the T&Cs of the Premier League would give the best players the option to play for the club they have the most affinity with rather than the club that simply pays them most. This in turn would enable smaller clubs in the league still to win it.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.
Decisions about salaries for footballers are a matter for football clubs, not the Government or House of Commons.
As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
