Still not worthy of a thread

How does this work in American sports ?

 

Draft picks and/or player swaps. Contract dumping is also a thing where you a send a player with a bad contract to another team but you'll be sending the player and draft picks without getting anything back to compensate for the bad contract. Receiving team is usually in a rebuild mode with lots of cap space.

Has there been any discussion on this imminent ruling on the Liassa Diarra case regarding transfers?

 

If they rule that he was unfairly restricted from moving his trade could mean that players will find it substantially easier to break their contracts. It will likely mean an independent body being set up to detirmine value of contracts that clubs will have to compensate when purchasing players but would essentially end the ability of clubs to keep hold of players 'against their will', if a player wants to break a contract they can and the buying club just has to accept whatever compensation is agreed by the body. 

 

This will be catastrophic for smaller clubs dependent on player sales as the compensation will almost certainly be significantly lower. It will be simply illegal to stop say man city coming in for Bruno mid contract. As such player contracts will be worth a lot less. It will presumably mean cost of players will be substantially less but it will be impossible to prevent man city (and maybe us once ffp is all evened out) from just assembling who we like based on players. I would anticipate wages spiking as a means of pricing out clubs coming in for players. 

 

A total clusterfuck in otherwords. Interesting if any other takes on it to be honest, i think it will likely be slightly less dramatic than that but looks a possibility.

He’s won his case. Eeek!
