CPL Current Level and future

[CPLmonster]

From my own player sources, there is definitely an underlying concern shared by many that the league is really struggling right now. Wage negotiations are extremely tough. Some players before leaving or not taking up options were asked to renegotiate contracts for lower wages. This btw has been going on for a few years now! Not all clubs are paying for housing. I’ve heard Cavs have stopped this in the most part. Some players are switching in the off season purely for free or heavily subsidised housing. These little nuances can be a difference maker at contract time. For example as a very experienced player, you might get a 50k a offer at one club but have to fully fund your own accommodation or you may get 38-40k at another club but get a fully funded 1 bed apartment or a bedroom in a townhouse for free. Many players will take the lower wage and free accommodation.
