When an organization doesnt stand up for itself then these things happen because disillusioned players think they want to try and make a bigger and better team but if they dont they can always fall-back on Canada.
While I can sympathize with players that feel they have been slighted by the CSA (e.g. Hargreaves), I don't have time for the plastic footballers who decide which colours to wear based on financial factors. Consequently, I like your idea as it would target the right players since players like Hargreaves wouldn't come crawling back.
