So what were Blake Powell's "personal reasons" for the cancellation of the contract?
Does "I got a contract on the table from a club closer to home, you guys don't rate me that much anyway, how bout we cut a deal" count as a "personal reason"?
Or was it "we dont need you blake, if you can find a contract elsewhere we'll happily release you"?
What other "personal reasons" could there be?
What I was getting at was that contracts in this league are essentially worthless when stuff like this goes on.
Plenty of players in big european leagues probably get homesick etc, but I doubt their clubs will just say "oh diddums, lets cancel that for you, pat on the bum, thanks for the memories."
No one seems bothered this time because no one really rates Powell when it comes down to it, but what if Finkler says tomorrow "wellington aint what I thought it would be, I'm homesick, can we please cancel this contract for personal reasons?"
What then? All good? See ya later?
It is somewhat different in a non salary capped league where they can just hang on to players so that they can't go to another club
