Could the transfer market be about to change beyond recognition again? Football's transfer rules are deemed ILLEGAL by the EU's top court https://mol.im/a/13924241
any chance you can precis the info? I dont like all the stuff that clutters up the cookie and advert trails when you click on the info! like what is wrong with it?
The statement of significance is: players - and their agents - will potentially be able to break contracts without consequences, signing on with new clubs rather than feeling the need to run down their contracts. It is likely that clubs will soon gravitate towards offering shorter contracts in the near future.
It means (if I’m interpreting correctly) that contracts are virtually meaningless and players can go and play where and for whom they want. If this actually happens then clubs will probably only be able to offer ‘pay-for-play’ deals with no commitment for either party. It would be chaos - and a nightmare for managers who won’t know who’s playing for them from one week to the next. UNLESS of course it is only valid during the transfer window. In that case 1 season’s contracts will still be worth arranging.
the agents are the bane of the worlds football... massive fee's for doing what really ... getting the odd player to maybe open the local ..? ... fete?about 0.00001% actually might end up in an advert!
