The League...[is] recognizing such contracts as may be made with non-league clubs after the 15th of March. But this seeming concession is in itself an insult. It merely says we will pick and choose from among your men until, having filled our quota, we will begin to respect your rights. Why not recognize non-League contracts as rigidly as League contracts? By all means afford no protection to rotten clubs; but protect each club that by any fair means is paying its players.
