The challenge is simple, when you recruit mercenaries its a simple comparison to previously salaries, which these types cant keep it quiet.Define blatant cheating though, Armstrong cheated in the tour de France with the use of banned substances.
What are they doing different to other EDFL clubs? Offering more money to players than another club that has probably offered them a fair bit more than $277 per game, it is a serious question mate, if you are a club after a player from another club which is completely normal, new club offers a dollar figure, current club counter offers, the players play clubs off against each other for their own financial gain. Some clubs are in a better financial position than others, you can't compare clubs against other clubs as it is apples and oranges. That goes for all divisions.
The last 2 posts referenced a portion of what I wrote and neither have answered a question, are we deflecting for a reason? Is it easier to just single out one club?
And the point of ranting about it on here? How much has it actually achieved, it is like arguing with an umpire, waste of time. Doesn't seem to be any EK people taking the bait either which is why I am wondering why it is still going, all that seemed to do was feed their egos.
Secondly when you recruit youth and pay them above market rate they cant keep it quiet
These are the two big problems EK have vs other clubs at this moment
