Multiple Season Contracts

Discussion in 'CricSim Cricket' started by Boobidy, Jun 1, 2009.

    The only thing I would look at is 2 season contracts.
     
  2. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Yeah, fully AWTA.
     
  3. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Are multiple season contracts a possibility?
     
  4. Colesy BL Hornby

    Why not bring them in then?
     
  5. Speirz DG Speirs

    Would love to see that. Only problem I can see is inactive players staying with clubs for too long, but we've got that now with 1 season deals anyway.
     
  6. Alec AD Funkotron

    Would there be any bonuses for people signing for two seasons over one? Because otherwise, I don't see the point.

    But what if a play wants to leave, but can't so instead they go inactive, then what?
     
  8. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    A bonus of not being hammered with PM's, and just showing loyalty.
    Maybe only let board members sign for 3 or more seasons. And you need a certain amount of posts/games to sign a 2 season contract.
     
  9. Speirz DG Speirs

    Rewards good recruitment if you can convince them to sign for two seasons.

    Clubs should be somewhat sympathetic. I know we've released players in the past and probably would in the future if it was a reasonable situation.
     
  10. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    There can always be a mutual release. If you're just leaving for the sake of it, it can be denied. But if your stuck in ALC and are chasing firsts, I think some blokes might allow a release.
     
  11. Speirz DG Speirs

    In that case though you'd end up with the ridiculous situation of me making Flash our HoR with Magic as his deputy, because I know Flash might not be around to sign on at the end of next season, and Magic will be loyal anyway.

    It's not currently legal/possible but it's something I'm looking into. There are far too many changes between seasons IMO - I'd like to see some more continuity and solidarity within the squads.

    The big negatives are:
    * Impact on new clubs if they come in with targets off the market
    * Inactive players clogging up the system

    The second can be easily solved by making multiple-season contract holders "declare their activity" every season anyway, though.
     
  13. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Yeah true, but if there are shady deals like that, it would be obvious. And 3year deals should be bonuses for helping on the board. People in board possies get no reward for extra work. Now I don't mind the recruitment season because I'm an attention whore, but for some other people like Muesli, he might get pissed off with 1000 PM's when he would never leave the Pumas.
     
  14. Speirz DG Speirs

    Could solve the first by allowing players to leave for new clubs.
     
  15. Ged GEC King

    Oh. Gee. I wonder why Boobidy would want us to bring in multi-season contracts now. :p
     
  16. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Legal?
    Well if we keep the same 8 sides for the next few seasons, multiple season contracts could be an option, now lets face it. Only club die-hards will sign a 2-season contract. And clubs should only offer them to certain people. The Gamblers would only offer a multiple season contract to Vago, Tyson, Hayes, Armstrong and Surko, ATM.
     
  17. CCG C Golding

    Also multiple season contracts would allow the competition to be regular I think, and stop things happening like all the good Rays players leaving after a season.
     
  18. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    I mentioned it last time this kinda thread was made, TBH.
     
  19. CCG C Golding

    Isn't Vago staying at the Rays unless we find someone to replace him?
     
  20. Colesy BL Hornby

    He isnt leaving the rays.
