Who cares? May as well let teams breach the salary cap then.
Let's be honest - with the aussie marquee, the youth marquee and the marquee marquee it's a pretty flexible system. The A-League is not like Rugby League where the clubs have more money available to pay players than the cap allows. Half the clubs are probably closer to the minimum spend than the maximum cap allowance.
Of course it's dodgy that the FFA owns the club and also makes the rules - but this is a pretty good thing all round really. Would you prefer not to have him down here? Big picture the new TV deal will make or break the league and this will definitely help with that
There are loads of BS rules - like you can sign a foreign guest player when you've used your foreign quota plus you can replace players outside the cap.
