[QUOTE="FrenchFan, post: 1003401, member: 70871"] But the rippling effect of bigger clubs going under will be worse than wage inflation. This will weaken the French union. There are no central contracts here. The FFR can neither afford to bail out those clubs nor buy back the contracts of the internationals who will lose their job. Never mind the impact on the regional and local economy around those clubs. There is a salary cap in place in Top 14. And it is enforced Montpellier was fined last season for breaking it. I agree that salaries in some of the clubs have been over board. Montpellier paying Pollard over 1 million euros is ridiculous. Dupont at Toulouse is on half that. Saying that right now I'd take wage inflation over covid any day. [/QUOTE]
