I don't see the upside of losing transfer fees for football at all. If the argument is that they're against some EU laws, fine, I don't care about that.

I'm just a honest man who cares about football. Like Sepp.

I just think that Chelsea being able to play an eight team round robin with their squad is wrong and bad for football.

Because the loan system was never created with the intention of allowing clubs like Chelsea to collect 60+ senior players and send half of them out for the season.

The problem isn't neccessarily that the suggested rules are completely bad. Its that the entire football ecomony is based on transfer fees existing so the transition to the new rules would be an utter disaster without all the rich clubs / leagues subsidising the income of poor clubs until the changes fully propagate.

The vast majority of lower league clubs operate on such a delicate balance of finances that any change can completely gently caress them over, look at the ITV digital collapse, it led to about 20 clubs entering administration and about double that coming close, even relatively well run clubs like Norwich.

Also who's going to run a youth academy in a world without transfer fees?

I agree that it's not the point of it but what realistic harm is it causing? Other than looking awkward on a wikipedia page. The players get a significant raise and their previous teams get a transfer fee plus future fees based on sell-on clauses.

I don't like the hoarding aspect of it either but why is it bad?

So the current system is completely unstable without having special rules so workers receive less protection than they should have and human trafficking from poorer nations? Sounds like its time to burn it all to the ground.

There should be much stricter enforcement of academy catchment area rules. None of this get parents a fake job stuff.

But on the other hand the kids will get a much better footballing education and fulfil more of their potential than they would in Africa and Eastern Europe. Premier League academies are full of foreigners.

It's a complicated issue.

If i sign a fixed-term contract but decide i want to move to another employer, under Dutch law i have to pay the remaining months left on the contract in salary to my employer. If a footballer tries this he gets suspended due to Fifa rules and has to pay 'market value' to the club, which can be millions. So Fifa prohibits the right of movement for employers.

yes the contracts for top international business executives and like, really specialized senior professionals are completely the same. ibm has a stable of hundreds of senior computer engineers that they loan out to rivals just like manchester's sports man rental store. and small town businesses hire promising new business school graduates from poor countries in the hope of flipping them to top global companies for cash lmao

and despite the fact that your moronically-framed question is incredibly offensive to anyone who cares about the rights of people who work for a living, i will answer your question: non-compete clauses in general are garbage because they heavily infringe on what i think any decent person would consider the basic human right to work. the fact that they are legal to various extents in many places does not somehow prove their validity, nor does your apologism for the divine right of capital to do what thou wilt

Despite this incredibly condescending tone, aren't recruiting companies doing that exact thing? I'm not saying it's right, but it certainly happens.

Anyway, let's make sure we don't stray completely in to labor politics here and keep this about football. In fact, this probably should go in the finances thread, or maybe a new a new thread for contracts and stuff. Could be interesting if someone wants to make it.
