The Tizer has a piece which might (or might not) explain some of the slow going. Apparently we still pay some or all the wages of the players we let go up until 1st August. It's some EFL regulation which is news to me.
It is a practice common throughout the Football League.
THE end of July is a significant date for Rotherham United as they will finally shed their departed players from their wage bill.

Same rules for every other club, feeble excuse for us. I'm expecting somebody at RUFC to be repeating the old "We will still have a viable club, even if we get relegated" quote before long. Would the cost of one month's wages be enough to bankrupt the club?
"We are shopping at Harrods", but not until after 1st August? Given that the deadline is soon, it might have been better to keep quiet, to save embarrassment. This looks bad, even by L2 standards.

Probably because it only has any significance when a club is absolutely skint. Thanks a lot, Mr. Doingawonderfuljob! I suspect that the goalkeeping coach contract also doesn't start until August, so can't be "officially" announced yet.
