If the 75% tax becomes law, that's the end of the French league. It will become a B-League. Who would want to play there? I can see players feigning injuries just so they don't have to play for discount rates. Why risk your career?
Monaco will have a run of championships as far as the eye can see, and I can see clauses being written into contracts that prohibit being traded to a tax hostile country like France, unless the club in question ups their salary to the point they make the same after tax income as in England let's say... and no club can afford that.
