PFA boss Molango warns players will be 'angry' and salary caps are not the solution

April 27 - Players will be "rightly angry" at UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin's proposal for a salary cap in European football, according to the head of the Professional Footballers' Association England.

Ceferin said in an interview with American media outlet Men In Blazers, published on Tuesday, that UEFA hoped to implement a salary cap "as soon as possible" and "everyone agrees" that this is the best path to follow, both and small clubs.

But PFA chief executive Maheta Molango (pictured) says it sent the wrong message.

"When players read that 'everyone is fine' with their salary cap, I think they will be rightly angry," Molango said.

UK news agency Press Association reports that UEFA will present their idea at a meeting of their Club Licensing Committee on Friday.

But Molango charged, "Without proper engagement or consultation, players are continually being asked to play more and more games. New competitions are created and existing tournaments expanded. All of this generates more money. in football.

"Capping the salaries of those who create the 'product' that others continue to benefit from is not a solution to ensure better financial management of leagues and clubs.

"Football managers will quickly create a real problem if they continue to treat players like this.

"They should be treated as the most important stakeholders in the game and should be at the center of those conversations."
