There’s nothing new there, Evans has been saying the same weekly in his chats to the media team. Until we get a start date we can’t move forward. Other clubs with more stable finances can though, so 2 of them have signed 2 of our players already.
Yes, exactly. However, there is room for a degree of creativity with player contracts. I mentioned in another thread that a pro club up here in the north-west has signed a player or players with a clause attached linked to official start of the season. That is, the player/s have signed a contract to play for the club but accepting that it will not kick-in (for payment of wages) until shortly before the actual season starts. That is a way forward, especially for lower league clubs and the reward for compromise is, for the player, he gets the security of knowing he will be employed when the season starts and for the club, the security of knowing that should the season start be deferred many months ahead, the club`s player contracts will not bankrupt them.
