It really isn’t.
There are several very valid reasons why Haddad wouldn’t want to come back to the U.K. under current Covid rules. This is not the place to speculate which of those reasons would be relevant but I’m surprised you’ve not worked it out seeing as you’ve spent so much time coming up with an alternative theory that to be honest is madness.

Maybe l should have written all clubs. It’s dependent on costs in locations, some places are more expensive too live, l feel l shouldn’t need to point these issues out.........
The quality of ECHL is reflected in the salary cap, it is minor league after all, compare Barry Town FC to Manchester United, exaggerated slightly, you get the point.......

I really don’t think that matters much nowadays. Players like Richardson and O'Connor are better than many import D men that I’ve seen play over here. Securing the futures of 6 top Brits, with the addition this year of young talent like Waller, along with the new signings of Davies and O'Connor will stand us in good stead for future seasons too (if we can keep them all and we have a good record of doing that).
Hang on a moment....
Your initial posts on this subject were suggesting that Lord was offering Haddad more money. Because that’s what the ECHL budgets allow (they don’t)
Then you suggested it was because Haddad wanted more money.
Then you suggested it was because Kelman and Todd had fallen out.
Now you’re suggesting Kelman never wanted Haddad back
So to summarise, you think that Todd and Lord fell out, Todd decided he didn’t want our top goal scorer back and so managed to get out of the contract by convincing Lord (who he had apparently fallen out with) to offer Haddad more money (which the ECHL salary cap would struggle to allow).
That’s quite the conspiracy theory.
Or, alternatively,
Haddad and his wife might not want to travel halfway across the world back to Plague Island where cases and deaths are increasing, to join a new coach and mostly new players, knowing there is a chance the league could be abandoned mid-season again and they might struggle to get back into their home country.

I think so, but I think they have to quarantine for 2 weeks first when they arrive. Flight availability is increasing again but nobody knows yet what this winter will bring.
I also don’t know how often wives /girlfriends fly back home during the season. Previously it would only be an issue of cost. Now it would be two weeks quarantine when they got back home and potentially two weeks when they come back.
I’m guessing there are a lot of imports who have been put off coming to the EIHL this season due to Covid uncertainty. And I certainly don’t blame them.
I’m a Cardiff City season ticket holder but still haven’t decided whether I’ll go to tomorrow’s game.

We don’t know what wages he would have been on here’s or what he will be on there. I doubt it would be that significant a drop though.
But the ECHL did run last season and if anything goes wrong he or his wife can get home easier from the US than if they were in the U.K.
I’d be more likely to believe your version of events if it didn’t change with every post.
