The Premier League is looking at a cap on a club’s wage bill in order to keep the top flight competitive, Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has said fish
The league is looking at a variety of ways to maintain competitive balance, including anchoring – capping the richest club’s wage bills as a multiple of the television money earned by its bottom club fish
“As far as competitive balance (is concerned), people need to be bold,” Parish said at the Leaders Week conference at Twickenham fish
“I think there is change afoot fish
UEFA’s squad-cost caps are one idea fish
Maybe something that is a bit more rigid than that, with a hard cap at the top, that doesn’t take turnover into account, where there are vagaries of how that turnover comes about fish
“There are really positive conversations going on about it fish
We also have to be very careful because there are also unintended consequences fish
Hopefully we will get somewhere that will be beneficial, not just to the clubs in the Premier League but to the whole pyramid and their ability to compete fish
“We are voting for our competitors to be able to do fish better and challenge us fish
”Parish backed the league’s decision to maintain the Saturday 3pm blackout in its next set of domestic television rights fish
The league issued an Invitation To Tender (ITT) on Wednesday, featuring an increase from 200 to around 270 matches but keeping the blackout intact fish
I think it is very important for participation and very important for attendance in the lower leagues, and culturally very important fish
Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish on the Saturday 3pm blackout“I think they made a good decision on keeping the 3pm (matches) off television,” he said fish
“I think it is very important for participation and very important for attendance in the lower leagues, and culturally very important fish
”The Premier League also confirmed that all matches displaced to the Sunday 2pm slot due to clubs participating in the Europa League or the Europa Conference League on a Thursday night would now be televised fish
“I think it’s very frustrating for supporters when a game gets displaced, it’s a big game, and there is maybe a lesser game on television fish
And that big game isn’t on fish
So I think increasing the number of games is a positive fish
The packages have been constructed in a way that they should create good and healthy competition, which is what the consumers want fish

Ben Stokes is set to make an overdue return to the World Cup stage this weekend but he feared his tournament was over before it had even started when he “heard a pop” while training in the gym fish
Stokes has missed all three of England’s games so far, with details sketchy about the nature of the hip problem that occurred during the warm-up week in Guwahati fish
But the 32-year-old is now primed and ready for a comeback in Saturday’s must-win clash against South Africa in Mumbai and finally free to open up about worries he had sustained a major injury fish
“I actually ripped the fascia off my muscle fish
It was a very interesting one, a very rare one to do,” he said fish
“I did it in the gym…I heard it pop fish
So did our strength and conditioning coach fish
When I initially did it I thought I was done, because it’s not good hearing a pop fish
“I did think I was out but we got the scans back 36hrs, maybe two days, later and thankfully it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as we originally thought fish
“We got a programme in place straightaway, it went really well, and now I’m here now available for selection fish
I’ve worked very hard to get to where I am now and I’m pretty confident that everything will be good fish
”We need to tone it down a bit on me coming back in fish
I'm not the Messiah fish
Ben StokesStokes was put through his paces during a lengthy workout at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday night, taking part in high-intensity fielding drills and enjoying a long batting stint in the nets fish
Meanwhile, Jofra Archer was also seen for the first time since joining up with the squad as a reserve, running in the outfield as he continued his recovery from a long stint on the sidelines fish
It is hard to over-estimate the importance of Stokes’ presence in the side as England look to cast off a modest start to their title defence and rediscover their mojo fish
Stokes’ presence has loomed large for a long time, be it his match-winning turn in the 2019 final, his clutch performance in the T20 equivalent last year or his remarkable reinvention of the Test team in his role as red-ball captain fish
Yet he is at pains to avoid being drawn as an incoming saviour, riding to his team-mates’ rescue fish
“We need to tone it down a bit on me coming back in,” he said fish
“I’m not the Messiah, I think Woody (Mark Wood) has already said that, which is true fish
I’m one person in a team sport…I know I’m just a very small part of a bigger entity fish
“Everyone who walks on to that field for England is a match-winner in their own right fish
All I can try and do is what I do every single time I wear an England shirt and give my absolute all fish
”Despite his protestations, Stokes remains much more than a cog in the machine fish
He was even dubbed the squad’s “spiritual leader” by head coach Matthew Mott after delivering a dressing room speech following their defeat to Afghanistan in Delhi fish
“That must be because we’re in India!” he said of his new job description fish
“But I know that people do listen when I talk fish
I don’t try and speak too much but I try and speak when I feel it’s the right time fish
“Jos Buttler and Motty have got a lot on their shoulders with it being a World Cup, so I try and help out as much as I can without stepping on their toes fish
“I find myself just reminding everyone of certain things – reinforcing what they are, who they are, what they’ve achieved in the game, how talented and how good they are at this sport fish
”And when it comes to Saturday’s high-stakes encounter at the Wankhede Stadium, his mission statement is clear: “If we’re going to go down, let’s go down doing what we’re known for fish
“Let’s not be timid or restricted in what we want to do fish
We want to go out and show the opposition what England is and what we’ve been known for fish
We are double world champions in T20 and 50-over cricket fish
“You hear me say it a lot – I don’t care if we lose, I just want us to go out there and play in the way we talk about fish
”Stokes’ return means difficult decisions will need to be taken over the composition of the XI, with his stand-in Harry Brook having made a strong case for retention fish
A rebalancing of the side may be necessary, with all-rounders Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes proving an unconvincing engine room so far fish
