Bosman Ruling

[RT]

Just typing up the results section on my dissertation, and finding out from my examples of Leeds and Brentford, how both clubs have been effected by the ruling. Looking back on it, do you think it has been beneficial to football?

No, It's only beneficial to the money grabbing bastard players or agents

Bosman has a lot to answer for the ****,it wasnt even as if he was a good player.

We've moved from one extreme to another. Pre-Bosman many clubs were taking huge liberties with players and their registrations. Instead of negotiating fair deals for players, some ended up being held to ransom by the registration holding club.
We've gone 180 degrees now, where players are, more or less, in the driving seat and can make excessive demands. Obviously this depends on the player being decent in the first place, a cack player isn't going to be able to hold anyone to ransom, and in such a case it's probably in the interest of the club to be able to let him go for a free and not be burdened with holding his registration!

The ruling protecting the cash-free movement of players under 24 is a good one, but for clubs such as Brentford it may be necessary to extend this to most, if not all, players to help them survive. The amount of players - and pretty good ones! - we've let go in the last 3 years for poor, or no money is not conducive to good business.

Exactly.Mahon,Powell Owusu,Evans Ingamarsson etc etc etc etc etc went for absolutley **** all(small fees for one or two,that would have been worth at least a mill a couple of years ago).

However,Brentford are notorious for giving players away for next to nothing and the only good bits of buisness i can recall us doing is Hermann(bought for £750,000-sold for £2.5m)and Smudger(free transfer- 500,000).

Yeah i'm agreeing with you all. Typing up the part on Leeds, and they lost out big time with Kewell and Bowyer, as we did with Owusu, Ingimarsson, Rowlands (C.U.N.T) and Evans who we would have got over £1 million in total, and got jack sh1t for!

The Bosman ruling has ruined football, before it we sold Cadette and Jones who were in contract dispute, and Blissett could have gone too
