Capping salaries will drive sport’s investors away: PFA

WIDESPREAD salary capping will curtail potential investment in the game, according to the Professional Footballers’ Association deputy chief executive Mick McGuire.

McGuire made his comments after a survey revealed the average Premiership player’s salary is £676,000 (€973,000) per year.

The figures will only increase the debate for salary capping at the top level by those alarmed at the money on offer.
