This was quoted on the Cakes' forum, assume it was announced today given it was part of this article...

Quote: Football Federation Australia chief executive Ben Buckley also announced club salary caps will be increased to $1.9 million and there will be a cap exemption for an under-23 marquee player.
What's the current cap and is this increase large enough to suggest stronger players may be persuaded to come down under?

I reckon it's better than nothing. On the other hand it's not that much.
however, I really admire teams (or leagues) with salary caps. Many teams with lots of money don't have limits in how much they spend - but it is crucial for the development of AUS and NZ footaball that no team goes bankrupt.
