PFAI welcome Genesis report
Professional Footballers Association of Ireland chief Fran Gavin has welcomed the new Genesis report into the eircom League but is steadfastly against a salary cap.
The Genesis report recommends a salary cap of 65% of a club’s turnover though this has already brought consternation from several sources who believe it will lead to a culture of ‘under the counter’ payments.
Gavin , too, is against the move insisting: “There are enough restriction on players as it is without restricting their capacity to earn a living. The Irish economy is booming and more growth is predicted and we are the only industry calling for a cap on wages.”
