Maybe there could be a system where clubs seek to sign a player but the FAI handles contract negotiation, signs them, then sends the player to the club.
But it would depend on what extend this 'central contracts' premise was implemented. I can't see a way in which you could have central contracts but clubs could retain any kind of autonomy in playing budgets. Essentially the FAI would be signing the players and distributing them. Without a draft, whatever distribution they make would face accusations of bias.
Also the whole thing is clearly a total brain melt...
