1) If you have a system based on turnover then Leeds would be able to buy all the best players and pay them twice as much as any other club.
Also turnover as a raw measure is a very simple way of measuring a clubs ability to afford a higher wage structure.
2) For example club "A" could have a turnover of £4 million but have to pay their landlords £1 million to rent the stadium for a season.
club "B" has a turnover of £3.2 million but gets their stadium free from the council and pays no rent for it.
If we go under the 50% rule club A could spend more on players than club B, however in reality club B could actually better afford to spend more money on players than club A.'"
1) Then it's up to the rest of the clubs to catch them
2) You can't cover for every eventuality, and in that case you have mentioned the team paying 1 million may have to find further income from better sponsorship, increased crowds, better merchandising or negotiate a better lease on the stadium.
The game can't and shouldn't be ruled to the lowest common denominator. Whether you care to agree or not I believe the playing standards are slipping.
