You're very welcome for the praise - it's well deserved. Getting rid of the restrictions seems like an understandable move, as I say, the money seems to be crazier, but I know there's players at NCEL level who rejected Northern Prem clubs, because the were offered better contracts in the NCEL than they were offered higher up the leagues. I appreciate squads aren't often full of real players at steps 9/10 but if you need any info on the NCEL prem sides, and the Yorkshire clubs in the North West Counties League too, I'll try and help in anyway possible. I do however get that, that might lead to a lot of headaches if certain step 9 leagues had squads that were more complete than others.

Cannot believe the effort and time you put into this, really is absolutely incredible, and is obviously well appreciated by non league fans all over! Quick question - on last years, managing in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division, it was only possible to offer players part time contracts up to £50pw which seemed to be in as a league rule. Can/will that be different on this one? I know a few clubs in the league that are putting significant money in this year (for the level) - Silsden AFC perhaps most notably who've a number of players on £200+ a week. Thanks!
