I don’t necessarily believe an American-style salary cap is the solution to European football’s financial shenanigans as Fox Sports’ Jamie Trecker does. International transfers are too big a marketplace in club soccer to keep that cap consistent with currencies differing between countries.
The real problem in Spanish football is that there’s no formalized punishment in footballing terms for poorly run clubs. If your English club goes into administration, you’re pretty much relegated because of the point docking. In Spain, that costs you no points and removes the incentive to at least behave within your means of credit. The outlandish TV deals for RM and Barça are another problem, but the lack of point docking for administration sticks out like a sore thumb.
