June's Topic

After careful consideration I have decided that I am going to make this month all about salary caps in professional sport.  There are two main reasons for doing this:

1:  Rugby League - I am, and always have been, a massive Rugby League fan.  I was sceptical when the salary cap rule was brought in (20/20 rule, no more than 20 squad members on more than £20,000 a year) but in the subsequent years it has been a huge success.  I want tosee if this is the case in other sports.

2:  Footballer's Wages - If there is one subject likely to unite the British public it is that of the Premiership Footballer's salaries.  I want to present a balanced argument on whether salary capping would be beneficial to all professional sports, including football.

I've had a look at some preliminary readings and I've selected a few texts to have a go at... I'm all ready to make me an expert on Salary Caps in Professional Sport...
