Precisely Jerzy. Teams are getting stupid with their imports. I'm quick to (validly) rail on ACFC but it seems Canty and Waitakere are also doing it
From a holistic perspective, our league is going much the same way as the EPL where more and more foreigners are coming in and the Kiwis, or at least marginal ones, are getting squeezed out. I like Regs point where by 4 non NZ eligible players are allowed. Effectively, you are enforcing FIFA criteria. That sounds harsh for teams that that have a lot of imports but then only the best imports should be there anyway. This whole guest thing or have played here a year to be considered local is absolute garbage. Ask Wairarapa how those rules worked for them. Even though they broke them, had it been a strict 4 import rule, there would be zero confusion.
I think we have to accept the fact that our league will not get any better than it is because of a number of reasons (mainly NZF and the lack of drive) so then give the league some sort of purpose by developing Kiwis that can not get over seas on pro contracts or use it as a window for them. Give it some purpose and the only way you do that is to kick the majority of imports out. It's a rest home league for guys that get $70k to play 14 games
