don't think think there is any problem with flagging players genuinely but you can't just flag everyone that leaves your club - you need to have some sort of adminstration and agreement of what players owe etc - one would suggest at capital prem/central league levels the players are playing for clubs under the assumption they owe nothing (ie. subs are payed and socks are provided)
Re waiting for a "capital football statement" it won't be coming, never seen a statement before... the decision has been made and those teams that complained now have the right to appeal that decision...
