In theory, that would mean a player would be able to tell his club he wanted to leave and hand in his notice. Another club could then pay up the remainder of the player's contract and he would be able to join them without a transfer fee being paid. |  |

Works both ways, too. A club can also easily end a contract. Vine, Boswanker etc would have had notice IMO
No transfer fees wont help small clubs in the lower reaches, such as Crewe who rely on them for survival. Where would all the TV money go if not on transfers... massive squads? Even more astronomical players wages? Cheaper tickets? Or owners/directors?
Wonder how many would have handed in their notice during MH's reign? |  | | |

dont know if we wanted to get rid of ceaser for instance wouldnt we have to pay up his full contract
whist say remy handed in his months notice then could leave for free as long as someone paid up the rest of his contract to us
sounds a nightmare if you got a young player like say townsend of last season he could hand in notice before club has chance to give him a better deal ,leaving club with next to nothing ? | |

I think that's the way it would work, yes.
There are always ways around it. I wonder whether if this goes through, we'll see shorter contracts with "team options" and "player options", like the NBA.
In other words, QPR could have offered someone like Ephrahim a 2 year deal with a team option for the 3rd year. If a club tries to buy him, they would have to pay up 3 years of his contract. If QPR decide to release him, they pay the remainder of the 2 years. |  | | |

What's to stop a player handing in his resignation in February/March and going to a club that is pushing for promotion? It will be a mockery with players moving in March rather than January.
Lets say QPR, Leicester & Derby are looking strong in March and Burnley have dropped away, Ings and Vokes could simply jump ship.
What notice period do they have to give? A week or a month? |  | | |

If this clown wants to bring this in then no player should be on a fixed contract.
Most of us are only employed because we can do our jobs,and become unemployable when we can't.
They want it both ways don't they?
When a player first joins a club,they should give him a fixed contract and if you don't perform you get sacked.Thats what happens in the real world.Why shouldn't it happen to footballers too.
My company will only pay me when I can drive my truck,not because I'm sitting in the office drinking tea while watching someone else drive it. |  | | |

So the players want more money like they don't already have enough.
I'd love it if all the supporters got together and started their own league with a salary cap and left the old league to fade away. Would never happen of course. |  | | |

Without transfer fees, players would gravitate towards the clubs that pay the biggest wages - much like they do now.
It could sound the death knell for smaller clubs, e.g. Crewe or mean that any money invested in a Youth set up would be completely wasted, so why bother.
On the other hand, you could offer players 2/3 year contracts with no notice clauses included. That way, anybody trying to leave before the end of their contract would be in breach and could be sued. The chances of agents agreeing to such a deal for "top" players would be close to negligible. |  |

I'm not sure of the purpose or why footballers should fall outside normal employment practices....as Stowmarket says.
It should be a free open market with employers contracting players for what ever period they like within a League season, temporary arrangements/loans as we do.....the only difference is that the Players should pay their agents fee's.
Contracts and the length of contract between players and agents should be registered with Uefa.
Quite clearly if players want to bail out of Contracts and they are keeping within the terms of the contract, their value to Football Clubs reduces and therefore so does your salary.....the value of the contract....don't think you can have it both ways, freedom of contract.
So surety of income..fixed contract, "get up, go training, play on Saturdays, earn thousands "....you heard it here!
Its not the end of Football, its just a rearrangement of how the money goes round... | | | |

Or three or six months. It is what ever the two parties agree on. If it was either of those longer periods, a player could be put on "gardening leave'.
Another curious point. In the professions and for sales people, there can be clauses which forbid you to contact the companies customers/clients. It would be a bit like making a player sign a contract which would forbid them for playing for the scum (or other Prem club) | | | |

A couple of points, players wouldn't be able to walk out for free, before they can play anywhere else someone would have to buy out the remainder of their contract. Surely that would mean that is a player signed a four year contract for an £8 million transfer fee, and he wanted to walk after 2 years, another club would need to stump up £4 million minimum (more if two clubs entered a bidding war). This then surely defaults to there being a an effective buy out clause for each player that reduces over the length of the contract.
Also it doesn't necessarily mean that players can join other teams outside of the transfer window, the FA and others can still say when the players registrations can be transferred, it just means that any player is free to talk to other teams during windows.
It's difficult to see how this will pan out, and even more difficult to see how it could cock up the current system any further. |  | | |

If the courts accept Fifpro's case I would image it would blow the concept of a transfer window out of the water. | | | |

Fine, if they're like other workers then they can go on £6.50 an hour....
It's not like any normal job, so f*ck off you old t**t, they have a luxurious life style
