Mariners V Poachers FC

And now these guys have signed Duke?!?!

Seriously dodgy, wtf are the rules with the salary gap again

Yeah there’s some bullshit going on there.

He only just left WTF

Some drive bye fan on Instagram tried to explain they are paying players less that is how they are doing it. I reminded him of poaching Troisi, Ibini and Gordon who I’m sure are not paid peanuts. Silence. Lederer is starting to run the league, is in the thick of it with the IAL and also bailing out the Scum. Seems they are getting away with anything. There is no way that team fits under this years cap.

WSW are as dodgy as f**k, under the salary cap my arse!!
Who monitors the cap anyway?...

Dukey is on loan so I expect his parent club will be tipping in a fair bit of his wages. Having said that, the sooner they dump the cap the better (as long as transfer fees come in at the same time)

That doesn’t matter for loans as far as the cap is concerned afaik. Hard to find anything set in stone but looks like it was tightened up around 2015. But as others have said who is going to investigate the chairman (or whatever Lederer is) of the independent league

A quick scout around the league and we'll quickly see who the beneficiaries of such a transfer rule will benefit. Would mean we get better young talent for a shorter time however may enable the signing of legitimate foreigners. OTOH it may result in the stacking of squads (who can afford it) of said young talent, without a cap, to stop fees having to be paid at all. I can see both the for and against of such a rule. I think it would need to be a heavily regulated law here in Aus

Football is pure unadulterated capitalism and when transfer fees come in, CCM will become a "feeder" club to those with money.
Sad fact is that we already are, we just don't get paid for it.
There is nothing wrong with that model, you just have to be very good at youth development and recruitment.

That young talent needs to make a decision if they want to be 3rd or 4th in line at a top club or getting regular minutes off the bench at a less successful club. There will always be someone ambitious enough to take the opportunity.

If there were transfer fees and no cap the poachers would have raided us terribly already this season and Kuol / Niz et al. would be scoring goals against us
