Two players have been released in the NLS due to breaches of contract and playing for baller league.

If we are comfortable with players playing in that “competition “ then two very good players are up from grabs that would improve us tenfold.

Great appointment but a bit late for this season.

Not sure what happened because when Dover resigned Mampolo they referenced him winning baller league player of the season in his biography

It appears not as we released Eddie Allsopp earlier in the season.

It’s a contract. Clubs don’t want their players risking injury in another competition for obvious reasons. At the very least players should ask permission to play but if the club says no then that’s the end of it.

I don't like players doing Baller League when they're in Step 2 or Step 1, it doesn't seem compatible. Without getting onto what a rubbish 'product' it is anyway. While it's true that a lot of players will be breaching their contracts weekly, playing Goals with their mates etc,, the difference in breaching the contract quietly, privately in that way, versus breaching it live on Sky, puts clubs in a very difficult position, especially when players are playing on the day that their club has a match (as happened with us last season), or when they were meant to be travelling to an away match with the squad (as happened with Wealdstone).

The cynic in me also thinks that for someone like Dover, who have nothing left to really play for, it's a nice convenient way to cut costs before the end of the season.
