We are under the cap this year.. the only player we are paying this year that is not with us is Mbye.. under 200K
We have no salary cap problem..
Their was a big fuss made about us having 5 spots to fill for 500K, as was said by player manager last year thats normal for most clubs, most clubs fill their last 8 spots with minimum wage players..
Woods and Mbye were let go not because we were over salary cap.. it was to give Pay a just to build his own squad and spend the cash where he wanted..
Salary cap wise, Pay has got a clean slate..
the issue remains the unused salary cap, older heads that have been with our club since Bullfrog days have said we never have such a high % of cap unused, its not the type of club weve ever been ..
Any salary cap money not used by the club remains with the football club to do with as they wish..
The club recently sacked 4 footy club employees - yet to be replaced, further reducing operating costs..and at the moment CAs role is very broad..
The club has already publicly declared it wont hit the market for big names until 2020 so for the 2021 season..
So unless we go on a signing spree this year or make some mid season moves next year we will again have a considerable unused cap next year..
Under the rules governing the cap, clubs are not allowed to have unspent 5% of their cap..i.e. they must utilise 95% of the 9.4 million this year...470k is all they can hold over as unspent...basically around enough to but one good player or a couple of reasonable players.
