Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2576222, member: 1764"] In no other employment do you sign a multi-year deal without option to terminate the agreement and move jobs as agreed. I think it's ludicrous we have multi-year contracts in an age where moving cities or even countries is not nearly as big a deal as it was even 20 years ago. I understand clubs need the ability to plan their roster long term, and players like the security of knowing they've got a spot for 3/4/5 years. But reality is relationships can and do sour between club and player, and so contracts get chopped early. What's my point? Well really that the message that it sends kids they don't need to honour contracts is garbage. The contract was signed with both parties knowing that by round 13 it could be walked out on. All contracts are signed knowing that if a player is unhappy, or club feels they're underperforming or misbehaving, they can be terminated. Frankly I think there's too much butt hurt at the suggestion of players or clubs cancelling an agreement early. It's life. [/QUOTE]
