Haha, not trying to be sexist, its just the way i talk :p Thanks for the replies so far, i wanted to keep the intro short and sweet, but if you want to know.....Basically, i'm trying to analyse what effect the various reforms have had on the labour market, in particular the abolition of the maximum wage, bosman ruling, and the recent implementation of the transfer window. Basically, i was told i couldnt just use secondary data, hence the questionnaire here, and i don't want to cheat by making up my answers Keep the responses coming!
