Feels like this year has been crazy for poaching. Someone suggested that the gloves have come off and old “gentleman’s agreements” have been ditched. Liverpool and Chelsea were always snidey about it, but now it seems like everyone’s at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did say post-Brexit that this was likely to happen when clubs couldn’t just poach the next generation of youngsters from overseas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 The "compensation" rules seem so out-dated. For example, if we end up getting that young lad from Sunderland (Rigg?) then any compensation is based purely on the costs incurred training and developing that player. Nothing to do with how good he is or "market value" or whatever else. I'm not sure what the alternative would be but when you look at the money being quoted for good quality 19-20 year olds (10s of millions) if you can pick up a bunch of talented 14-16 year olds for a fraction of that, is it any surprise we're seeing it become more and more commonplace?

ponsaelius Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) Yup it's Brexit that has done it. You used to be able to buy up young talent from abroad on the cheap and in bulk - now you won't get a work permit unless there's significant fees involved. Clubs therefore competing far more aggressively for English academy players. You can see also clubs targeting young Scottish players far more than they used to.

Not perfect but one option, if at all possible from a legal perspective, would be that compensation packages can include heavy sell on clauses. Even bring in a standard 20-30% for any player who moves before a certain age. Won't stop the poaching but will at least guarentee the losing club benefits down the line.

madras Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I wonder if our standing in the game has altered much at this level. Are we seen as a club that can develop youngsters with the new coaches brought in and change of ethos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
