Quote: rollin thunder "I like the idea of marque signing, but it's open for abuse. If not policed properly, a club could pay a player £500k for 1-2 seasons then 100k for the next 2 and sign another marque player. Or flip that round with a low first 2-3 years then a massive final year contract. Similar to what wigan did with fielden.
I'd prefer the homegrown (50% after 3 years) and long serving players (50% after 5 years at one club)to be reduced salary cap, this would then be fair and open and would still allow clubs to make 2-3 high end signings.'"
There should certainly be reward for bringing through your own players, with further 'discounts' if they become internationals.
