Soccer Dreams Set Sail

Chapter 10 July 12rd

It is not far from December 12th, and Mejia is not in the mood to go to the club, so I am concerned about this.

First of all, let's understand the cause of the matter and why it happened.

In the summer of 1990, the midfielder Jean-Marc Bosman (Jean-Marc Bosman), who played for RFC Liege, expired at the end of the season with the original club, and the club was going to cut his annual salary by 60%. Therefore, Bosman hopes to transfer to the Dunkirk club in France.

But at that time, Dunkirk was unable to pay the high transfer fee offered by the Liege club, which led to the failure of the transfer.

Under the old transfer system, even if a player’s contract expires, and other clubs want to recruit him, they must pay the player’s original club a transfer fee to make it happen.

After receiving legal advice, Bosman took Liege and the Belgian Football Association to court in August of that year; in November, a Belgian district court ruled that Bosman's transfer was legal and the Belgian Football Association lost the case; half a year later, the Belgian Court of Appeal The ruling dismissed the appeal; in January 8, Bosman's application for unemployment benefits to the government was rejected, and in a rage he brought the lawsuit to the European Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands, claiming $11 million on the grounds that the club's refusal to let him transfer violated the law. The European Union's "Treaty of Rome concerning the right of citizens of the European Union to freely choose their place of residence and freedom of employment".

Bosman also asked the EU to order UEFA to release restrictions on non-EU players, because such restrictions are fundamentally a form of racial discrimination.

The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled in Bosman's favor on December 1995, 12.

Law content
Contract period
The longest contract for clubs and players is five years

Under 28 players
Players under the age of 28 (not including the age of 28) have been protected for three years since the date of signing the contract, and can accept bids from other clubs at any time for the next two years. Once he agrees to join the new team, the new team will pay a salary equal to the remainder of his contract as compensation

Players over 28
The corresponding protection period for players over the age of 28 (inclusive) is two years
The last half year of all contracts is at the end of the contract. As long as any club can give the player a satisfactory contract, the player will be free to transfer to a new club after the end of the last half year of the contract, and the new club does not need to pay any fees to the original player. club
Here's what's in the contract

Also about European under-16 youth training contracts

The contract can only be signed once a year, and can be transferred to other clubs freely, while the new club has to pay the original club a sum of compensation to encourage youth training.

The "Bosman Act" law recognizes football players with European Union citizenship. After the contract with the club expires, they have the right to play in any other country in the European Union without paying any transfer fees; secondly, there are European Union citizens. The provisions on the "foreign player restrictions" are abolished when players with national status play anywhere in the European Union.With the promulgation of this bill, the flow of players within the EU began to accelerate, effectively protecting the vital interests of players.

After this thing came out, the players were very happy, but the clubs were not very happy, but they had no choice but to accept it.

After the troubled Bosman passed, life had to continue, and the time came to February.

The fans of Manchester City have given up any hope for the team. Basically, no one is going to watch it now. There are too many losses. It doesn’t matter if you lose, but don’t lose.

They were fine, as soon as they saw that they were about to lose, they started walking on the field, not thinking about turning things around at all, they seemed to be covered all over their faces, I recognized it.

It looks so exasperating, some people have reported that Manchester City does not respect the game and so on.

Messia didn't care about it. The worse their performance is now, the worse Messia will have in the next season. He will have a sufficient reason to be ruthless. I am worried about what reason to use, and this is coming.
