Professional Footballers Australia - soccer's top players' union - has lashed radical proposals to change the A-League Men salary cap as "half-baked cost-cutting solutions" that would limit clubs' ability to recruit top-line players.
In a withering statement released late on Wednesday, the players' union unloaded on the Australian Professional Leagues (APL), describing the body which administers the ALM as being part "of a flawed governance model".
