His second point is that the amount and extent of these exceptions has been increased over the history of the league, most likely in collaboration with (and exclusively suiting) the richer clubs, which has further increased the disparity between rich and poor clubs. If you want to have a salary capped league, then do it properly and have a salary cap - or just remove the cap and do away with the facade.
