Is there a salary cap for UK soccer?

no there is no limit on wages at all or on the amount you can spend on buying players from other countries, the only limit is the funds your backer has thats why chelsea have got so good so quickly they have a russian billionaire as there owner who can spend as much money as they need and there wages are huge but its all small chips for him. most clubs have to balance the books and can only spend what they earn thats why you have such a difference between the rich clubs and poor clubs and why the same clubs win every year unlike alot of american sport

In answer to yur first question currently david beckham is the highest paid this soon could be michael ballack because chelsea have bottomless pockets there is also speculation ronahldinio may sign a new contract that would entitle him to £90,000 a week. In answer to question 2 i would imagine that this is correct as the USA capital of NBA is a much larger country than the UK capital of the FA. Although the only thing that may contradict this is the folowig of football all over the world i.e. world cup to which NBA hasnt got a version of. Hope this helps ;o)

tough one.\nThe money paid to the so called "top players" is out of all proportion.\nYou cannot  put the fire or the hunger back unless they are hungry. \nIn the UK, there are too many overseas players (bought to ensure the success of the big clubs) and not enough good young British players get the chance to come through. It's a CATCH 22, they don't get the experience & they can't get picked without proving their ability.\nYou are right about the achilles heel - it's gone too far at this stage.\nYou need really good leadership that can create a hunger for success, England didn't have it with Sven, Chelsea & United have had it in recent years. Can Steve McClaren create the desire for success with the English team - where money is secondary to cash? Perhaps.

It varies from person to person, all depending on their contract.  Most teams don't have a set bonus for each player.  Some players have a clause saying they'll get an extra month or two salary, others may get no bonus at all, at least officially.

Yeah, I would say you've pretty much missed the boat here.  You could try asking your local national football association I guess.\n\nOther than that, try going in for some competitions to win them, or get a Best Answer on Yahoo Answers!

David Beckham is the world's highest earning footballer earning around $32 million last year although this is mostly through sponsorship endorsements. His weekely salary is around £210,000 per week.\n\nJoseph S Blatter is 70 years old. Retirement beckons...we hope.

Yes, they should have a salary cap in all big european leagues.  If a straight salary cap won't work, they should at least implement some sort of revenue sharing where the biggest clubs pay a luxury tax and spread some money to the smaller clubs so they can compete.

Almost every team in the Conference National is full time professional, so their players will earn decent wages. \n\nBut below that, most teams are semi-professional and their players all have other full time jobs, so they train maybe three nights a week after work. An average wage for most players at Rymans Premier level would be around £140 per week, with additional win bonuses. The richer clubs normally can afford to pay better wages, and former professionals would usually get more as well.\n\nActually, £10 entrance in the Rymans Premier League is excessive. Clubs at this level charge between £9 and £7 to stand.

I think in salary Michael Ballack is the highest paid footballer around.\n\nIn terms of other stuff like endorsements etc it is still Beckham.

Use the following trick to start a career with any team, instead of having to buy all the career teams. At the main menu, select "Team Management", then "Edit Player". Choose any team and begin to edit their players up to a rating of 78. You can leave some players with an overall rating of 83, but try to keep most players at a rating of 78. You can edit almost all, if not all, of your team's players, Then, go to Career mode and your team should be available. Also because your overall rating is 78, your players will not ask for a higher salary and you can always keep that team, unlike just swapping the starting eleven's for the subs (even if you can choose that team, you will lose a lot of salary and eventually be fired). Do not worry about your players having an overall rating of 78. If you keep winning, your players will almost go back to their original overall stats. Also, go to "Club Transfers" and take some players you do not need or like. This will also make your players ask for less salary, because you will have less players.\n\nonly 1(in ps2 or Pc)Both

the link has a player index, and lists this years salary for each player. I know it isnt exactly what you asked for, but its a start.
