You are the manager of a team, like ours. A team thats seen by many to be in some backwoods with little transport routes and miles from civilisation. Much like the rest of the country see ICT. Most of your players live within the locale, even though they come from all corners of the country. You desire a couple of very good players on one year deals but they will only sign if they dont have to uplift and move their family. You agree to there request that they be allowed extra time to travel to see their families during the week. No problem there. The guys are professional and you know they will commit more to training and matchplay when they are around the club. There are times, in the week, you may want players in for extra training or the club may be asking that you provide players for a bit of PR or community work. No problem. There's plenty of local guys you can ask to do a bit extra. And this is where the problems start. Some of these local guys object to the fact that you've agreed with a couple that they would be exempt from this so they can travel south to visit family as per the agreed contract. These local guys are unhappy, and begin to rock the boat a bit, because they see it as unfair that one or two are not doing the extra work. Thats the scenario so, puting your best managers hat on, how are you going to deal with this situation? I know what my thoughts are but I'm interested in the thoughts of others. And I dont want to see members slating other members for what they right. Just good honest answers to this dilemma.
