“must earn a non EU salary”. What does this mean? Is it something lost in translation?
Non EU/EEA ie. "foreign" players. must earn a salary considerably more than EU/EEA players (To protect locals/EU/EEA & avoid an influx of "foreign" players) as per post on previous page .....if thats what you mean?
ie: A non EU salary = A salary paid to a player who is not from the EU/EEA
This is why a EU passport is so crucial for any young Kiwi player looking to start over there, as mentioned by Hudson a few times for one.
Joel Stevens starting in Swedish 3rd tier, maybe could have started inially at a higher level if had a EU passport and so was cheaper for a club bit higher up the pyramid.
