109Waddle Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I read that out of contract players need to sign by 23 June to extend for this season. 23 June is Tuesday so tomorrow will be interesting. 1 July - can we sign new players as per a standard season? EFL hearing - surely, surely, a decision has to be given imminently?? We can’t go into the final few games not knowing the outcome, the EFL really are a shambles.

jonnyowl Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I would think rules are out of the window on this. Yes we should be able to sign a player who is out of contract on July 1st but very much doubt you'd be able to play them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Think the rule is they must be offered a new deal/extension by the 23rd if we intend to keep. Doesn't need to be signed by that date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get a points deduction, maybe a week or so before the end of the season with what’s going on would be more than brutal. I don’t see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s concluded before the season finishes and they don’t dock us points, it’ll cause an almighty sh*tstorm involving the clubs that go down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Monk was on about having all next week to sort things yet I keep seeing this 23rd June deadline. Do you think he even knows about this deadline? Edited June 21, 2020 by Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Hope to see quite a few of the out of contract players released then, people like Nuhiu, Hutchinson and Winnall to start with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't let it drag in to next season. I personally think we will be relegated from ot and tangled in a further dispute with the EFL. The rules have got to change regarding FFP. If teams have money they should be allowed to spend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, the season should have ended in May and the hearing was always set for July. If it wasn't for the Covid delay, points would have to be deducted retrospectively for it to impact this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Given that parachute payments were intended to save clubs getting into difficulties if they were relegated. Why don’t they just say clubs can spend a maximum fixed amount each year? For example say £50m. That way the relegated clubs are protected, by only having to find £40m. Ambitious owners can stump up the full £50m and the playing field is once again level. Very simplictic I know 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, players whose contracts are expiring and want (and have been offered) to sign a short term extension to their present contract have to sign by the 23rd. On the 1st if July we (and any other club) can sign players whose contracts have expired. Can't play them this season though, but that's not what you asked. The first two thing you asked about, I know the answers to, the EFL hearing....who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owners who want to should be able to match the parachute payments. Even if that is by proving funds in some kind of holding account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The situation with players' contracts is farcical and was entirely foreseeable. Any pretence of sporting integrity for the remainder of the season has gone out of the window when we have several first team players out of contract and unsure whether to sign for the rest of the season and Charlton are losing their best striker for the rest of the season for the same reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
