Yikes Probably the same level as the CPL for what it is worth. The money could be better in Slovakia and the cost of living is lower. Also less travel A Slovak person might say the opposite if a player went the other way. From the Slovak 2nd tier to the CPL, ouch! I have watched matches in both leagues. Nothing wrong with the Slovak 2nd tier for a young player. Edited January 14, 2020 by Buchta toontownman, Zem and Junkie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Marc Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) No, it’s a bias against tier two football in already small, marginal leagues for guys that are supposed be our prospects.

Small, marginal league? Clubs in the Slovak 2nd tier have training/matches 10 months a year. What about the clubs in the CPL? Which environment is better? The CPL is only a year old. Give it some time to build. For now, there is nothing wrong with giving it a go in Slovakia. Life in a different country, and a different style of footbal. These things cannot hurt a young player.

The Real Marc Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 They play ten months a year. Jeepers. That's quite the low bar but if that's good enough for you, then cool. It's not for me, at least not for the guys we thought were going to have a big role to play in the Nats setup in the future. I'm not making a comment on the CPL. I'm making a comment on his career trajectory. If you wanna see the world soccer is a great way to do it. I have nothing but jealousy if these guys have both the talent to catch on with a semi pro club and the foresight to decide that in a short career they'd rather spend a season making peanuts in Drogheda or Bratislava over a summer making peanuts in Winnipeg or Halifax. Go for it! That's adventure that most of us don't get. But let's not pretend that this is an upwards move, a high level for development, or a sign of a progressive career for a 21 year old whose previous club career has been being released by the worst team in the CPL, riding the pine in Sweden tier two and featuring in half of the games in a regional Finnish third division season. The question is, is he going over there because that club is a better opportunity than CPL, or because CPL is no longer an opportunity for him?
