The NDombele situation makes me wish we had something like they have in the NFL where you’re contract is only good if you make the squad after fore season training.If you don’t you’re out on your ear. More complicated here because of transfers but still the principle is sound. It would stop people taking the piss, taking the money for doing nothing
The principle is not sound, in any other endeavour a contract is a contract. If the principle were sound it would go the other way too and a player out-performing a deal should also have the right to void his contract to get a better one. The fact that the NFL has gotten away with non-guaranteed contracts well into the 21st century is a joke. So totally weighted in favour of the billionaires who own the teams. Injured? Out of luck son, you’re cut.
