In professional soccer, there's a transfer fee when a player is traded to another team.  What is the transfer fee and what is it used for?

In effect it is a fee for an early release from one contract of employment so as to tempt the player to sign another contract of employment with his new club and compensate his old club for loss of his services.\n\nIf a player has come to the end of his contract, then no transfer fee is required for him to join a new club. It is generally called a Free Transfer when this happens.\n\nThat being so, clubs who have paid a large sum for a player to join them will not let the player come to the end of his contract but tempt him to sign another one, so they can see some money back for what they paid for him.\n\nAlan Shearer cost Newcastle United 15 million GBP when he joined them from Blackburn Rovers. He is now aged 34 and is about to retire. Newcastle will not see anything back for their 15 million. And the fans pay for it, through high ticket prices.

First question: they do that because if their opponent gets one more fall then he gets a red card then the other team is short on a player.\n\nSecond question: because if there was a score then someone would have made a goal. So there is NO score!!

Well nothing said of the pay they get but my best guess would be to start issuing team fines for those who don't come to practice. What happens if your team doesn't have 25 players? After all some players might get pissed and quit when they start getting punished for it.

Usually teams negotiate the amount of money with their association before the tournament. \nThis has in the past caused a lot of frictions between trainer and team. E.g. in 1974, the German national coach was so upset about the demand from the German players that he wanted to throw them all out of the game and walk away. As we know from history, the situation could turned around and Germany went on winning the world cup.\nThis year, there were a few other teams where the discussion about the money caused major upset between teams and coaches about the amount. It's the same game before every event...

OK if a goalkeeper is sent off then another player has to be substituted to bring in a goalie, if all 3 substitutions have been made then one of the players has to turn into a goalie imagine that ! But the team  plays 10 men. \nGoalkeepers can have red card for-\n1    Commiting  a bad foul\n2     Handling the ball outside penalty box.

no there is no limit on wages at all or on the amount you can spend on buying players from other countries, the only limit is the funds your backer has thats why chelsea have got so good so quickly they have a russian billionaire as there owner who can spend as much money as they need and there wages are huge but its all small chips for him. most clubs have to balance the books and can only spend what they earn thats why you have such a difference between the rich clubs and poor clubs and why the same clubs win every year unlike alot of american sport

When a player receives a technical foul, ejection, suspension (1/90th of his annual salary per game) or other fine, the money is split evenly between the league and Players Association.  Each then donates its share to a charity or charities of their choosing

If the goal keeper gets out of his net and blockes the player(from another team)by holding his legs with his hands and stop him from shooting the ball in the box,that would be a penalty and a booking for the goalkeeper!\nIf the goal keeper saves the goal by touching the ball from outside the box that would be a red card!!

Chelsea worked out a deal with the Company AEG who owns 4 MLS teams. The worked out a deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy to send their players over to the states to develop and they have the option to transfer players from the MLS if they want. So that could be part of it, to test the waters and see how good some of the players they want to develop are.

I think it is helping the premiership. It will step up the quality of players in the premier league which can only be a good thing! Their current form shows you can't buy the premiership as they have been slipping up alot lately. Unfortunately their endless spending will take talents from decent european teams lowering the challenge in the UEFA champions league.

the recieving team is given a list of players which they can choose from. they can name this player at a later time. this is used when a team wants a little longer to scout the different players.

They broker a deal between you and another party,usually shares in a business. They get a fee for this, sometimes from the seller as well

Well, usually there is a selection process of people who want to buy the team. Other owners around the league also have to approve of the team being sold. Then the league has to approve and if you're the person the current owner chooses to sell the team to, then you get to buy it.

We call it a "Calcutta" (don't know why):\nEveryone in the pool attends an "auction" of the players. Individuals bid on each player as they come up for auction.\n\nTop bidder gets the player and pays his bid into the pool. Brazilian strikers go for more money than Trinidadians...\n\nWhen the competition is over, the pool is divided by the total number of goals scored, by everyone (excluding penalty kicks). This becomes the value of a "share". Each person mutliplies a share by the goals scored by his player(s) and collects that amount from the pool.\nIf a player is not bid on at all (e.g. a goalie) they are all put into one bundle (the "field") and the winning bidder gets tham all.\n\nYou can include some or all of teams, forwards and midfielders only; there are several ways to design the pool to suit the betting group. You can bid on teams instead of players if you prefer.\n\nIn case of disputes, decide on one source as the official scoring list (e.g. FIFA website, local newspaper, whatever).\n\nHint: don't overbid on those star players, it could cost you!

There is too much money in the game and it is my belief that managers encourage their players to dive maybe not as spectacularly as some do, but as there is alot of pulling of shirts and other tricks players use to gain a defensive advantage so I guess some plyers may feel justified by simulating as they feel they have been cheated first. A free kick takes pressure off or can allow the use of a set piece and as I said at the top with the money involved free kicks and any part of the game that can be used to gain an advantage will be used.

OK the one basically had it correct. You put a guy on waivers and that is just before free agency. You say Hey anyone want this dude at this contract. Every team in the league has the chance to then pick them up at that contract. If they all say nah then the player goes back to the team. If someone picks him up then they have to pay the player at the contract of the team that put him on waivers. You don't have to give them anything else. It is a little like a free agency. If the player clears waivers then the team has to figure out what to do with them but have to pay the contract. They are saying they will try to buy it out.
