IPL cap removed

[duffer]

Rajasthan's success and Deccan's failures showed money cannot buy success, so i am not really bothered about the increase in salary cap.

Nah it shows money can't guarantee success unless spending is done within the context of sound team management and planning. In the long run teams like Mumbai, Deccan etc can only benefit from having the finances to compete outbid anyone for the best free agents out there.

Now that we've done away with a salary cap how long till we see transfer fees introduced?

This has already been agreed - see other thread.

Now it gets interesting. Expect Mumbai to spend massive in the next few years. Could definitely end up a league with huge disparity between the haves and have-nots.

Ha, well they did say at the outset that the English Premier League was their model & if the IPL powers-that-be want to see the same 4 teams finishing in the top four positions year after ****ing year then this is a the first step towards it.

Money doesn't necessarily buy success, but it's a bloody good starting point; witness Chelsea pre & post Abramovic.

It depends on which teams I'd reckon. If the big big market teams like Mumbai, Chennai etc are at the top as opposed to smaller ones like Rajasthan and Punjab then it'll only be good for them from a ratings/revenue point of view.

 

[Rickripper]

Didn't they say they were going to remove it in the second year, right from the start?

Wouldn't it be ironic if because of this, it caused the IPL to go arse up a lot quicker then the ICL, the same ICL that it is the BCCI's goal in life to destory.

Agreeing with Goughy here on the cap issue.

Lol, so true.

IPL may actually become the EPL in the grand scheme of things. A 3-4 team sport with the others just making up the numbers to please their fanatic fans.
