"We have a tendency in football to think that we are above the law. The reality is that you cannot artificially cap someone's ability to make a living as this would just not withstand any legal challenge. "We've been clear with the Premier League that [anchoring] is something we will oppose, but the Premier League themselves know that, even before the PFA does this, there will be clubs within their own room who will legally challenge the measure."
"Top-flight sides are due to vote on November 21 over whether to adopt a new "top-to-bottom anchoring" (TBA) system. The proposal would limit how much any club can spend on player wages and transfers to no more than five times the amount of the lowest central broadcast and prize money payment in the division. The plan has already faced resistance, with Manchester City, Manchester United and Aston Villa among the clubs understood to have voted against pursuing the idea."
