		Bosman's contract expired in 1990, leading RC to offer a one year extension with a salary decrease of 75 percent.
		Bosman refused to resign with RC and at the start of the 1990-1991 season he was suspended.
		Bosman then sued the Belgium Association and RC, claiming that the transfer system and the nationality clause violated Articles 48, 85, and 86 of the Treaty.

	Case Study
		Bosman took RC Liege to court on the grounds that the Transfer system had prevented him from seeking employment in another club.
		Bosman's attorneys thought that the transfer system and the nationality clauses were no compatible with the Treaty of Rome.
		Essentially, the situation in which the transfer of a minor would be permitted is when the family of the player moves to a new country.

		He was transferred from Ards in Northern Ireland to Newcastle United in 1956 and the player expressed an interest in moving on from the North East in December 1959.
		Bosman protested against this decision and he filed suit against FC Liege, the Belgian football authorities, and the European football authorities, arguing that the football regulations on payment of transfer fees stopped EU citizens from having the human right of freedom of movement in employment.
		This was useful as the transfer spending at this level increased by £20.8m, narrowing their 'balance of payments' surplus to £17.1m (from £25.8 in 1998/99).

		Bosman, notoriously, prevents clubs from demanding 'transfer fees' for out-of-contract players who move from one club to another and prevents the imposition of restrictions on the number of 'foreigners' who can play for a particular club.
		It was argued that this 'transfer fee' provided further protection for the smaller clubs because they could keep their best players until financial constraints made it prudent to sell them to larger clubs.
		A player's registration could be transferred once the fee had been paid (or a lesser one negotiated), but so long as a player was on the transfer list the club was under no obligation to pay him a wage.

	Famous Belgians - Jean-Marc Bosman
		In the case of Bosman, the headlines invariably spelled bad news for the football community at large, although of course many individuals, especially players nearing the end of their contract, were not unhappy.
		The ruling of the European Court of Justice in December 1995 upheld the case brought by Jean-Marc Bosman against the European football authorities as a result of his failed transfer from a Belgian to a French club in 1990.
		In the many months while the storm-clouds of the Bosman ruling had been gathering on the horizon, FIFA had played a deliberately low-key role, as the issue was one which essentially affected only the 18 national associations of the member states of the EU.

		The case determined the legality of the system of transfers for football players and the existence of so-called 'quota systems', whereby only a limited number of foreign players were allowed to play in a club match.
		Transfer fees for out-of-contract players were illegal where a player was moving between one E.U. nation and another.
		This problem started with Bosman but has increased because of incompetent sport managers, that were not able to stop the growth in football players’ salaries and pursued the purchase of mediocre foreign players to the national ones disadvantage.

	Bosman ruling
		Jean-Marc Bosman was a player in the 2nd division of the Belgian football league, whose contract had expired.
		In the meantime, Bosman's wages were reduced as he was no longer a first team player anymore.
		After a tough legal battle he won his case, and on December 15, 1995 the court gave him and all other EU football players the right to a free transfer at the end of their contracts, with the provision that they were transferring from one EU Federation to another.

		The Bosman case is centred round the question of the Freedom of Movement for workers and discrimination on the grounds of nationality.
		Bosman sought a declaration from the European Court of Justice that the transfer rules and nationality clauses were not applicable to him on the grounds that they were incompatible with both the Treaty of Rome rules on competition and the free movement of workers.
		The court consequently ruled that both Transfer rules and nationality quotas are contrary to the Treaty and therefore not permissible.

		On 20 August 1991, Mr Bosman issued a writ with a view to joining UEFA to the proceedings which he had brought against RC Liège and URBSFA and bringing proceedings directly against it on the basis of its responsibility in drafting the rules as a result of which he had suffered damage.
		Finally, finding that the examination of Mr Bosman's claims against UEFA and URBSFA involved considering the compatibility of the transfer rules with the Treaty, it made a reference to the Court of Justice for a preliminary ruling on the interpretation of Articles 48, 85 and 86 of the Treaty (Case C-269/92).
		The UEFA regulations were not applied when Mr Bosman's transfer to US Dunkerque fell through; if they had been applied, that transfer would not have been dependent on the payment of a transfer fee and could thus have taken place.

		No club could claim any transfer fee if their player (who is under the contract with this club) goes to another club.

		That way, it wouldn't be ALL-chaos in a matter of seconds with all transfer clauses anulled, but EC would let the now-valid TF included contracts slowly to extinct each case being looked up separately.

		It can be said with conviction that the Bosman case evidences a strong tendency in ECJ jurisprudence to protect the rights of individual community citizens oppressed in the exercise of fundamental rights by rules (created either by Member States or private undertakings) of questionable legality.
		Transfer fees remain in effect for players transferred while still under contract.In league matches, teams unable to field more than 3 players not nationals of the country in which the match is being played.
		It was claimed in litigating Bosman, however, that transfer fees for out-of-contract players served this function.Solidarity mechanisms that would redistribute a significant proportion of income to clubs involved in the training and education of a player, including amateur clubs.No system of calculated compensation for training and development of younger players.

		I know the rules could help me, but I would be 34 before it comes around and I don't think it holds out much hope for me. But getting as much money as I can is not my main ambition.

	Sunday Herald (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Given the explosive implications of the original Bosman ruling in 1995 – which almost collapsed the transfer system by allowing out-of-contract players to move without a fee – and even the consequences of Bosman 2 – which reshaped the football calendar by introducing transfer windows – the imminent alterations are humdrum.
		On Friday, Fifa’s determination to be stricter in its imposition of transfer windows sparked a vociferous response from the English Football League, which had enjoyed a two-year exemption from the bi-annual windows having claimed that the financial future of their clubs would be jeopardised if they were unable to trade all year around.
		One of Fifa’s motivations when pushing through Bosman 2 in 2001 was the desire for “contract stability”, in that players’ contracts would last for a minimum of one year and a maximum of five, with clubs entitled to varying degrees of compensation in the event of breaches of contract within that period.

	Foot.ie - Bosman ruling
		I thought he was out of contract when he left, in which case it's possible that you can put in sell-on clauses in Bosman transfers for players under 23.
		Ceefax says that any transfer between an English, Scots or Irish club (presumably Welsh too) of a player under 23 (not 23 or under) has to result in compensation.
		Which still leaves open the issue of whether that holds for transfers within a country, as opposed to from one to another, which transfers have different rules in some cases.

		At that time, players cannot transfer to other teams unless there is a transfer fees, even if the player is out of contract, the interest club must still play a transfer fee to the player's club.
		So, 'free to leave on a Bosman' means that a players contract expired and he is free to do what he wants without the former club getting a cent.

		Regarded as somewhat of a major transfer coup for Luton, manager Ricky Hill identified Petri at the beginning of the season to replace Gary Doherty who had been sold to Tottenham.
		He was out of contract on June 30 and under the Bosman ruling he was free to move, so I have stepped in before Plymouth Argyle, who also wanted to sign him.

		With that he’s off, another appointment awaits, further deals need to be done and several players wait to have their minds put at ease.
		The transfer window means that agents don’t need to wait until November for a holiday these days, but it also means that when they get that break, they really, really need it.

		The Fontainebleau Agreement gave the UK its abatement, known also as the British rebate, thereby terminating a dispute originated by Margaret Thatcher in 1979.
		The 1995 'Bosman ruling' of the Court of Justice (named after a Belgian footballer) held that professional football, as an economic activity, was subject to Treaty law on free movement of services.
		The ruling also enabled players to negotiate their own terms of transfer, breaking the ability of clubs to collect large transfer fees on players whose contracts had expired.

	SSRN-Transfer Fee Regulations in European Football by Gerd Mühlheusser, Eberhard Feess
		We analyze the impact of three different transfer fee systems on payoffs, contract lengths, training and effort incentives in European football.
		The different regimes, being used until 1995 (Pre-Bosman; or P), currently in use (Bosman; or B), and recently approved (Monti; or M) differ with respect to the transfer fee an initial club must accept in case of a transfer depending on whether a player has a valid contract or not.
		We show that the different systems differ only with respect to the contract length if the contract which maximizes the expected joint surplus of the initial club and the player is feasible under each system.
