Can't see this working in Europe especially cause of foreign exchange rates aso if every UEFA member would be an € country things would be easier.

It's hard to argue that it would be a bad thing for football. I see only good in it.

I really can't see it working here.
To start with how do you calculate the max limit ?
Just check out the differences in wages between the Rumanian League and the Premier League for examples.
A rumanian club will most likely never be able to pay rudimentarily the amount of money an english club can pay without researching I guess the wages from Arsenal are much higher as the whole wages from the Rumanian League so will the limit be set to the current Arsenal wages or something in that area or will Arsenal have to drop their wage structure by around 90% ?
Also how do you handle exchange rates we could use fixed exchange rates but how do you handle it if a currency drops (or raises) massively during a season before the winter transfer window, players would jump ship as fast as possible so the clubs with the shitty currency would be f***ked caused by external influences. In the USA all NBA clubs/franchises use the same currency to pay their players so if the US dollar drops all clubs are f***ked not just a few.
You also have different rate of taxes in every UEFA country here too aso.

Take note that european football clubs in most cases aren't anything like American sports franchises. They are not owned by billionaires.
So, for instance, if the cap is put on the level at which Real's wage bill is at now, clubs like Bastia, Lille, Palermo, Bilbao, Burnley, Leicester, Köln, Kaiserslautern won't benefit out of it.
Besides, we're talking about 54 countries here. how on earth will you persuade all of them to vote for a salary cap ?
