whether the Member is right or not aint the point.
its the fact that 'if' the club has better players, then the coach will have no prob sitting Nabbouts ass down.
So why should he give 2 shits if he's got the option of a better situation?
Players don't play or the fans. Never have, never will, nor should they ever.
Bullshit
Bert picks his best team.
Case in point Moss
Was going well in Goals
Duncan comes back
Moss is riding the pine
Jack was shit for a week or two but Bert stayed strong to who he believed was his best option
Regardless of how well Nabbout has done this season there is no way in hell he playing ahead if Dimi Vargs Pato and Roy when those 4 are fit
Pigs will fly before that happens
this is also something i dont get.
The manager is there to get the best deal for the client yeah?
The player hires the manager so he has a shield for which to hide behind as he looks for the best deal.
The manager charges a fee to be that shield.
not sure what you expect of them.
this is always on the player. blame them.
Players can make nice earners just along the signing on kick backs they may get from clubs
Ie you stay at your club all your career like Kanta you get **** all
You change clubs 16 times in 12 years like some mercenaries do and you get plenty of pay outs to come payouts to **** off etc
Other thing to be said changing clubs allows the opportunities for networking
You may not get the pay off today out of it but goinbg to different club exposes players and agents to be viewed by more people etc
Which can lead to opportunities in the future
Take Nabbout.
****s off to Japan and straight away he is being viwed by everyone in the Jaspanese league set up
All these blokes might go in many different ways in the future but some bloke gets a gig coaching in say China and thinks wouldnt mind that Nabbout bloke and before too long Nabbout is in the Chinese League all because he moved in the first place
Is it possible someone mistook Jason Geria for Nabbout?
No. The manager is there to get the best deal for himself. The same self interest you speak of for the player is also embodied in the actions of the manager. The countervailing power between them generally determines the outcome. There are exceptions of course but generally everyone is in it for their own benefit.
The Managers you would expect seek short term gain rather than long term - which is pretty much backed by so many Aussie players going overseas to essentially sit on the pine.
There are more players than managers and as such the managers know if a player is not profitable to them they can move on to the next one who is or at least shows more potential. Players on the other hand have a much more limited choice so finding a new manager is not as easy.

In a salary capped comp, how can a club use the transfer fees? I.e. can the jets use these 500k for salaries?
