Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2235232, member: 1853"] Exactly what foordy said. One of the reasons the game in dying in some areas is that some clubs don't do any junior development, so the good young players end up in another sports system. And the reasons they don't do any junior development are: a) under the current salary cap, they know that after they invest a lot of time and money into developing said players and they start to make it big, they won't be able to keep them all so have to let them go and see another club reap the returns on their investment b) they know that clubs who do development will be in above situation and they can just come along and buy these players, therefore basically getting them cheaper than if in addition to their current salary they had to invest the development money as well. And as you said, it would mean more players staying at the one club for their entire career - which will help improve fan relations as the players and clubs will be seen as being more loyal. A lot of fans are disenchanted with having to see their best young players lost to their club. So yeah I think it would be good for the game. [/QUOTE]
