Without players, clubs wouldn't exist. Making this a code where there is no place for compassion or accounting for the individual's well-being would be counter-productive.
Sure, protect clubs from mercenaries, reward formation and loyalty, but take individual's circumstances into account.
What happens when the club is not interested in a player any more, are they also forced to keep him?
Please, let's not go making out that Milford wouldn't get a massive pay day under this type of system. Not every player would be a one club player. Guys will still leave in search of opportunities etc. The fact that Milford wouldn't be eligible for a discount will just means clubs think they can sign him, and because most marquee players will (hopefully) be one club players, that'll make his signature more valued.
I'm sure there are many flaws to my idea, but the notion that Milford would not be financially well off regardless is not one of them.
