How to give each club a $7m salary cap

[Moffo]

Simple

• 2 Tiers
• 10 teams in the elite comp
• 10 in the 'first division'
• 2 up 2 down relegation system each year
• First division managed and promoted by the ARL/NSWRL. Separate TV deal
• NRL focusses on the elite comp. TV deal renegotiated and each club is given a $7m cap from the money saved by having less teams in the elite comp and a better TV deal
• $7m allows the elite squad of 25 to be paid twice as much
• 4 new teams in the first division from Perth, 2nd Brisbane, Central Coast and NZ teams
• Challenge Cup is created to ensure that all teams potentially play against each other once a year

Don't think it would work? Go study up on the premier league.

Thanks

Cheers,
Moffo

LOL!

Promotion/Relegation won't work in Australia. The population is too small.

Secondly take teams out the TV will be less because their are less matches and there will be lower overall crowds, so the clubs grant will not be almost doubled.

The 'first division' comp teams won't be able to compete financially with the elite teams. Teams in the lower comp will not recieve decent sponsorship, and struggle with crowds due lack of interest.

The first division clubs will slowly die while the elite clubs will get stronger. Defeating the purpose in general.

Good onya moffo. You are wasted on Canterbury. You should seek out Gallop immediately and let him know.

How big is the salary cap of the 1st division. If it is different to that of the top league, than every deal signed would have to be a one year deal.

And having two organisations running very similar leagues is the problem now. ARL, NRL, NSWRL, QRL, CRL, etc.

The answer to the thread is negotiate a fair market value for the game in TV contracts, then distribute the money to the clubs.

End of story.

ive heard the population point a million times and no one has ever explained it to me adequately. england has a pop of 60m with about 80 teams who go up and down. so how cant aussie with 20m plus 5m in NZ handle 20 teams?

the games will be of higher quality and fox will be forced to pay market rates for it

Could it be the size of the economy?

1) the financial markets in the uk absolutely dwarf ours
2) soccer is atop the podium in the uk without any challenger - as such it has limitless financial backing - our rugby league is seriously challenged by 3 other codes. furthermore, even the small uk league market could financially swallow us based on the exchange rate.

We should get moffo and Kalgoorlie Red together. They would sort rugby league out in an afternoon.

australia has a gdp per capita that exceeds most countries

point is?

yeh and im proposing a 7m salary cap as opposed to 100s of millions that the elite premier league clubs pay their players

so what. RL in this country has successfully had 20 teams before and it worked.

no one is yet to show me that relegation wouldnt work.

most countries? Brazil? Uganda? PNG? Fabulous.

I don`t mind the idea at all. It would need some fine tuning, but has some merit.
Atleast it is an idea, many people seem to critisize, but have no ideas themselves !

1) Football is the number one sport throughtout the country. They've no competition.

2) Crowds are normally 25 000 + minimum.

3) Larger population and the fact the sport has international appeal, means that it's marketable outside of the UK therefore any televisions rights etc are going to bring in a lot more money. The EPL is not only big in the UK, but also the rest of Europe, and even over here. It makes a difference

oh right, so you've got no idea what you are talking about so you decide to try to be humourous

move along now kiddo

1.) Point taken but the NRL is still a dominant code in 2 of the 3 biggest states in Australia and soon to be 2 biggest

2.) avg crowd in the nrl has been as high as 17-18k. not that far behind. anyway, they make money off the tv deal not crowds

3.) point taken but its something that would grow if we managed the game properly.

now compare it to the country we're talking about with the premier league.

furthermore the EU also has soccer as it's number one code which also invests in the uk & premier league.
