foreign players become more expensive and homegrown players cost the same or foreign players cost the same and homegrown players become cheaper

I still don't understand this point,and i will be happy if someone explains me better this point
And i think that it will be better the option "foreign players cost the same and homegrown players become cheaper" because it don't penalyze any player,but it helps who plays in conutries with high number of users and so high competitivity.
P.S. I think thath here we're talking only about of the economic innovation because we're expecting the other innovations from many time and we'll see it as very good :D

- who often have a much deeper interest and more in-depth insights than the great unwashed masses-


That is insulting.


Dr. King said, When you see a man in peril you either say,

"If I help, what will happen to me?"

or

"If I don't help, what will happen to him?"

Since I'm from the USA and I have a mid level team I must be unwashed, and uninterested in the game, therefore I could never think of such an insightful example, according to you.

The staff of this fine site will do their best to ensure everyone's needs are met over their own, and they do listen to everyone, no matter the size of their country.

Finally it is your turn to be insulted. Don't patronize others in an offensive way.

Calling 20,000 people from all over the globe unwashed, uninterested and selfish is insulting.

I care about our community more than my team, call me unwashed all you want, my hygiene has never been that great anyway, ask my ex-wife.

Sorry, Plotts. I didn't think that you would take it literally. I agree it does sound insulting. The phrase comes from 1830's Victorian literature and it means the commoners. I was trying to say that there is a small, vocal group that think a great deal about this game and then there is a large, silent grup that rarely use the forums. I didn't mean to call anyone uninterested, actually dirty, or selfish. I'm going to change it now. Thanks for setting me straight.

The way you phrased it there just sounds so much better. It makes a lot of sense too. I prefer to read Tad Williams or Neil Giaman. If you would have made a nice Sci-Fi reference there, oh man, I'd have been all for it!

Well we don't know what is going to happen, exactly. I agree with you that it would be better if this were the case. It would also help average teams in smaller countries who don't have a lot of foreign players, of which there are many many many teams. I checked around in Spain's second divisions, in Italy's second divisions and there are lots of teams with over 50% domestic players. In Thailand, there are only five or six teams that have even 1 foreign player, so if it is a reduction in salary for domestic players, the teams behind the division leaders will be helped out a lot.

I didn't read everything.

In regards to taxes on foreign players, how about we group by region? Japanese managers wouldn't have to pay tax for Chinese, Korean players etc. Canada grouped with US, Mexico.

I have not looked at the Spanish or Thai teams, however I would guess that the reason for having domestic players is the same as in Sweden, namely the teams are pretty inactive abd are still playing mostly with their original, i.e. domestic, players.

If you take a look at their transfer history instead I am sure that you will see that once they buy new players they are generally foreign players, simply because it is so hard to find domestic players. I am sure that complicating the transfer for those teams will only result in alienating them even more from the transfer, thus resulting in fewer avtive teams.

Your first point sounds about right for Thailand.

I do not think it is difficult to find Spanish players on the market. There are 772 players with role player or lower potential available at the moment, and 125 players with MVP or higher. I also assume that div. 2.in Spain is mostly full of competitive teams.

Also, now it is easier to find domestic players than it was even last week. It might at some point (two seasons down the road) be more difficult to buy them becasue of local competition but I just don't believe that a 10% wage decrease for having a domestic player or 10% wage increase for having a foreign player is going to change people's minds about whether or not to use the TL.
Also in your post about Hoop Hoop Hooray, what if the domestic players are discounted? Then he saves $9000/wk. which is $126000 for the season, which is enough to build 603 bleachers.
