US Youth football team claiming 'transfer' money from Premiership team

[CAMiller]

I never realised that youth football here in the US, through FIFA rulings can lay claim to monies when players move on in life. Here's a story where the local select team here, Crossfire, have been trying to get $100K from Spurs from the move of DeAndre Yedlin over there in 2014 from Seattle Sounders. $100K, that's more than RUFC get for most of our players This youth organization, a 'non-profit', isn't cheap, it costs about $1300 for your kid to play on a team for a 12 game season plus tournaments. Yedlin had a scholarship with them as he was from a poorer background.

Probably due to the surfeit of lawyers you have over there.

Yeah they’ve got some genuine ones over there.

True. Not sure how many lawsuits the average American is involved in. I'm probably in at least 5 at the moment.
