yeah. I was under the impression that the football authorities had no choice

about the basic gist of the Bosman rule. And not surprisingly - when you describe the pre-Bosman world for a player out of contract, it does sound it bit like (sometimes very paid) slavery.

Not in Holloway world though. All down to the people who run football.

(agree more broadly with you, too, that the clubs who've been really f*cked by this over the years have hardly been the Manchester Utds.)
