[Football] Out of contact players

DFL JCL · Mar 23, 2020

Apologies if this features elsewhere, (I did have a quick search)

Who out of our current first team squad are due to be out of contract at the end of the season. As such, we may have to do without if the season does get extended?

And do we think there should be a short transfer window prior to football starting up again to allow teams to address this potential issue?

They should all be out of (physical) contact at the moment - self-isolating, just as a precaution, so that they are fit and ready to go whenever the season re-starts

Out of contract not contact. Sorry just seen the typo in the title. Perhaps mods can change. Got it right in the body. Auto correct fail.

Only Schelotto, Kayal ( and Balogun ).

Oh ok. Not too much of a concern then for us. I guess there is potential for other teams to be affected disproportionately though.

Pretty certain that just as the season and final league placings are all under discussion so would be changes to the transfer window. Wouldn't worry about it just yet.

I imagine it’s relatively inevitable that those who are due to be out of contract on 30th of June will have their contracts extended to the end of the season (if it goes past that). Same with loans.

The TV income isn't increased to pay the extra months, and clubs will be cutting back as relegation/ survival won't be known - and the ongoing wage bill will still be ticking along nicely.

Harsh financial decisions coming very soon.

Can’t see a ball kicked until next year tbh.

Poppycock

I have no idea sadly if this is the case or otherwise but, one things for sure in my mind, there'll be no TV money coming in until it restarts, so contract negotiations will be influenced by that.

I’d be more concerned with Bournemouth getting their injured players back on the pitch and others with long injury lists and picking up more points than they probably would’ve done in the normal current season

Don't forget loan players, as their loan contract will expire in May and will move back to their parent club. This is going to effect virtually all lower league teams who use younger players from PL and Championship teams.

Shame Leeds may have to complete their season without their player of the season.

Might do football a favour in the long run, millions paid for average players out of control wage demands etc

Albion are undoubtedly in the financial crusher right now with all income disappearing overnight.

So, if the season is extended after June 30th then Schelotto, and Kayal ( and Balogun ) are out of contract before it ends.

Even though the season may be continuing into July and beyond, an obvious saving is not to extend the contracts of these players, so it may be that they have already played their last games for the club.

Some harsh financial decisions coming unless certainty over a plan for this season and next season ( including which league the Albion will be in ) comes soon.

I think the opposite is true - the players will be let go.

The wage bill is ticking over every month. Even when football restarts the TV cash won't cover the extra months.

Until certainty is agreed over next season, then this season is now all about financial cut backs.

Bournemouth have 7-8 players out of contract on June 30th. They won't have extra money to extend their contracts, especially with relegation threatening.

I would rather not lose Ezekiel at the moment, I would extend his contract

So would I... but the need to cut costs may mean he has to be let go.

Especially while the PFA are out to "save the NHS" and bankrupt all football clubs in the process re zero wage cuts
