Force the FA to impliment a salary cap on premier league footballers
Rejected
13 signatures
What the petition asks
The wage is simply astronomical and underserved. It is counterproductive in football as it eliminates incentive. Many overseas associations have salary caps and benefit from a purer, more honest game; that after all, is for the people.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
