John Mead Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 You can't blame the players if they're offered money but one can question why clubs feel the need to offer it in what is a recreational level of football. We end up with a host of players changing clubs each season who, when they retire, have no affinity or loyalty to any of them. Gone are the days when players join the committee after their playing days have finished. Paying players is not only taking hard earned money out of football but ripping the heart and soul out of clubs - all for the benefit of someones ego and short term success.

Think you'll find that that is only for an officially appointed Assistant Referee which you're very unlikely to get other than for cup semi's or finals. The only qualified assistants are qualified referee's as there is no official FA training for AR's. The scheme run by the Combination League is an excellent idea to get those volunteers that run the line as 'Club Assistant Referee's a good idea of what they're supposed to be doing but I think you'll find that the course itself has no official FA standing.

Richard Chown Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Let's get real! I'm a chairman of a Combination League club that has just won the Combination League. Not a single penny spent. Just 100% effort by the manager and the players on the pitch. Everything going back into improving the ground and progressing. Think about that. I would be incredibly shocked if any Combo club does, fools if they do. In my opinion we are on a level playing field with every club in the Combo. I've been informed that is not the case in the league above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmooreshead Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I can understand that ambitious clubs in the Combination or ECPL with ambitions of getting into the SWPL would offer payments to players. Anyone from any club has the right to come one here and say it doesn't happen at this club or that club but I KNOW that clubs at that level have paid money to some players in the past. The circumstances in question were a SWPL player playing for a ECPL team when he didn't have a game If someones paying players to pay in the Trelawney league then they really do have more money than sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Deacon Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 But it's not the club Rich is it? It's individuals who for some reason feel that by buying players they have a better chance of winning something. No guarantee obviously. The fact is that we will never really know as because it's not the club's, it doesn't go through their accounts. I experienced the usual this week (not in the Combo, but same principle) - one manager tells me "there's no money at the club", while another manager tells me that so and so has left them for the first club I spoke to for £65! Who can you believe? ? And then of course "money" comes in all sorts of ways. Paying for a player's pair of boots could be one incentive. At the end of the day we will just never know for sure!

There's no way 'round it Dave, any money or other inducements (boots, pastys, drinks etc.) received by the players, from whatever source is assumed by the Inland Revenue to have been paid via the Club. Tax and National Insurance must therefore be paid or the fines and penalties imposed. This is not some hypothetical possibility. It has happened to a number of (mainly S.W.L./ S.W.P.L.) Clubs across the County. Pay your inducements/cash in hand at your peril. The authorities have already stated that this is an area of interest to them. Makes a nice change for the authorities to encourage us to do what's right and not pay players for enjoying themselves and indulging in their hobby!

Dave that's always the case isn't it, club's don't have the money. It's either the manager who got lot's of money or a very rich sugar daddy. One of the club's who are paying are a reserve team and another should know better because they have done it before and backfired in the end after a few successful season's.

Goes towards washing the kit. Our linesman get paid for running the line for us-£15/20 I think. In my opinion players should only be getting paid if in the SWPL Prem.

What I was questioning was Richard's pretentious stance on the matter of paying teams. I couldn't let the virtue signalling and hypocrisy of his post slide 3 hours ago, COYG said: No not really. Explain 'what did they achieve?' for me So just to spell it out for you mate. I'm not literally questioning the achievements of Carharrack, they've done very well and nobody can take that away from them. They are fully entitled to bring in players and do as they please, it doesn't bother me. But in simple terms I think his questioning of short-termism makes him a hypocrite.

St Darren Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 What is the 5 year plan or whatever you wish to call it though Richard? what happens if the team decide to leave on mass to another club, not saying it's going to happen but it could. This is an issue that many clubs have when they are relying on the manager to bring a nucleus of players to the club rather then selling the club to the players. This goes for a lot of clubs not just carharrack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winston Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 It's not worth the argument, Darren. Carharrack is a decent club & have achieved a lot, recently. But I feel their reputation has been tarnished by importing a whole team & and having a win at all costs linesman, helping their cause. I fear they may have a major rebuilding period in the not too distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
