I'm not sure I follow your logic "SCO" the ruling is about affording footballlers the same working rights as everyone else.

So "intention of what they wanted"? Who? EU employment law is universal and it's quite right that football shouldn't be exempt from it. The abuse of the old system by clubs was awful. It wasn't about wants it was about rights. Sometimes it pisses me off but players are human too.

One classic example is Alex McLeish - he wanted to play for Rangers but Aberdeen wouldn't sell him. Even when his contract was expired they told him they would hold onto his registration, meaning he wouldn't be able to play, but they wouldn't have to pay him. He did a very good interview with the BBC in which he describes his situation there. And it's just one of thousands no doubt.
