Rambo you may be getting confused as there was a rule that the Head Coach of Canterbury United could not be involved with a club, as Vim says plenty of Mainland staff run out for a club on a Saturday.
As you can see I am not a big poster on this page, I used to love following all the banter around the Coastal train and must say how quiet the page has been since they have lost their voice.
Saying that it was a good game against Coastal at the weekend and we came away with a hard fought point. Having reached the halfway point of the season we along with Coastal find ourselves looking good for a top 5 position.
On a different note I thought that in the past you could not be an employee of mainland football and be involved with a club in that league. Clearly that is not the case now as Lee Padmore is registered to play with Selwyn United. Is this right ?
What are other peoples thoughts on this ?
I've never heard of a rule about employees not playing in the league. It certainly does open the door for conflicts of interest in the case of judicial issues or illegal players however as long as there is a process that removes that conflict if it arises, then I'm ok with it. How he's good enough to play Premier League is another issue... Don't forget there's another Mainland employee playing as well, although he seems slightly more qualified for the on-field role.
