Sol Campbell move was therefore motivated by a desire to move to a bigger club who were competitive for trophies, not because of financial greed.

Its interesting to return to this subject. While smaller clubs lost their power to retain players against their will at the end of a contract, they gained the incentive to develop talent in order to maximise transfer fees when selling. This has coincided with - and driven - a wider spread of 'talent factories' and the growth of the professional game in new markets from Japan, Korea, and China to India, Australia and America. Consequently the overall quality of play at all levels has increased exponentially and the depth of the talent pool is much wider and deeper. In theory, the clubs that are best able to develop talent through good coaching are able to rise up the league pyramid with less likelihood of going bankrupt. Many teams have traditionally placed an emphasis on youth and local players, however the rise in transfer fees for elite talent moving to big clubs provides significant additional resources for smaller clubs where one big transfer (or 10% sell-on fee from a sebsequent transfer) can have a transformative effect. Along with FFP, this has resulted in a change in strategy for smaller clubs from 'sell to survive' to 'sell to invest'.

@user-xu3bg7zh9c 8 ай бұрын

it is exactly as you said, developing good players would raise the level of the league IN THEORY. Argentina forx example has produced lots of the best players in the world, and still is. But with such a great inflation in the country, the league cant grow at all, in fact it gets worse every year.

Lol.. refusing to let someone leave while he wants to go, but at the same time cutting his wages... quite strange we needed an ECJ judgment to find that that was not compliant with (EU) law. Seriously, every normal labour law will state that, if a worker is out of contract, the employer either has to let that person go or has to continue paying that person the salary that was agreed when signing the contract. So it's completely logic that this was the outcome of this case. However, I do wonder how the situation that even players who were out of contract couldn't just leave their clubs came into existence in the first place. Why was such a bizarre rule ever introduced and who did this? Maybe you could make a video on that... (if you haven't already of course ;) )

@ComradeOgilvy1984 5 жыл бұрын

The question is not whether he can leave precisely, as it was never literal slavery, but whether any other team in country (or within Europe) would be allowed by the officials to put him on the pitch. Lots of professional sports were run by league officials who catered to the team owners preferences to treat players as chattel. When players made enough money to hire good lawyers, these systems collapsed.

Because the league officials and most team owners supported the concept that the clubs "own" the players, regardless of contract status. It does not make any sense in terms of contract law. But it makes perfect sense from the point of view of owners who preferred to keep players under their thumb, and had the power to get league rules written as they pleased. Most sports went through this. It was not until the circa 1980 that players in the big American sports had clear unfettered rights to find a new employer, after their contract expired. Same story.

But if you look at the bigger picture, its other effect made football predictable, elitist and boring. When importing foreign players were limited to a max of 3, clubs and leagues were on a much more equal footing. In the decade before ruling, you had Ajax, Marseille, Crvena Zvezda, Porto, PSV and Steaua Bucharest winning the European Cup. Videoton, Göteborg, Dundee United and Austria Salzburg reaching the final of the UEFA Cup. And Dynamo Kyiv, Mechelen, Lokomotive Leipzig, Royal Antwerp, Anderlecht and Austria Wien playing for the CWC. But when the Bosman ruling also made that limitation obsolete and clubs were able to become World XIs, you have all the best players in the world only ending up at the same 4 leagues and 10 clubs who dominate national, European and international football. It's been a decade since only English, Spanish clubs or Bayern München won the CL. Not even Italian or French teams could, the financial domination is so complete. And if you're not a fan of those 10 clubs but the other 1000s, your club has a minuscule chance of ever tasting success and no chance of ever making it last. Not because your coaches or players suck, but because the minute they get any good they are snatched away.

Sure, these business tips are whispered into the ear of the board as they are bent over taking the Devil's willy in the bum, but good advice often comes from bad people. Arsenal are successful not because of the saintly qualities of the club and supporters, but because of the way they build and run their business. Newcastle should be a top, top club, but they run their business like hell. My point here is that it's disingenuous to ignore the effect quality of business planning and management on club success.

Man United really is an example of it really doesn't matter how you run your business at the top after you get there. The "rich getting richer" effect of the Bosman ruling, the Premier League, the Champions League and the globalisation of the broadcasting of football will always keep them among the richest clubs. Currently the are the most valuable, ahead of Real Madrid and Barca even though they haven't won their own league in five years and failed to triumph in the CL for a decade. Them having the best manager of the world, being their most successful when those gamechangers were implemented (and the decade after that) set them up with so much following that for as long as this system lasts, they'll always have audience -> sponsors-> talent -> money. The Glazers can only do what they do because of Sir Alex's success. If they took over Newcastle for example, they wouldn't have corporations like General Motors, Vodafone, AIG and Budweiser fighting for place on their shirts, so they would have no chance of taking Ł750 million out of the club either.

Taeerom So you think that a ruling that allows filling a nation's championships with foreigners is a rightwing thing to do? Nondemocratic (i.e. communist) left parties oppose a free market economy, but this doesn’t hold true for the democratic left, which will favor such an economy, as long as it serves its liberal internationalistic principles. From a leftist perspective, the Bosman case is that of a wage earner treated unfairly by capitalists, and so the demands, farfetched or not, of the wage earner (the weakest link) had to be fulfilled for his sake and that of internationalism. From a rightwing perspective, the ruling enables businessmen to freely invest in football, despite the huge inevitable alteration of a league's national character. At the time it was adopted, it harmed the right's principle of preserving that character, but was not contrary to principles of the democratic left. Now however, that many football wage earners earn extravagant salaries, it harms leftist ideas too.

@@NeutralDice Lol "liberal internationalistic principles". As if the right wanted to close the border for international footballers in 95. You are not only ignorant when it comes to politics, but also of history. Or you might just be arguing in bad faith, blaming everything on the left or the liberals, or the jews or whatever.
