beaverface Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Now the last game is officially over, how long is it that we still have the players under contract. Is it til the end of the month or are all the contracts different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Not sure exactly but normally clubs announce who they're retaining/releasing a few days after the season ends. Think the contracts carry on a bit longer but we should know who the club don't want to keep by the middle of the week I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuber Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Leeds have already announced 10 players who are leaving I think clubs announce players leaving after the last game of season (generally), the cut off point is the start of pre season training/friendlies, which I believe are either an of 30th May, 30th June, or 1st of July.

bemmyredjeff Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Correct - 30th June. But now the season is over, the club can decide who goes, who stays and who gets offered a new contract. It'll be an interesting week coming up, one which will give us an insight into SODs thinking for the coming season. The fact that he was/is keen to keep Skuse isn't a good start.

Timbo7 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I'll say it again Contracted players will leave only if other clubs are prepared to offer better wages than we are contracted to pay them plus in the case of three or four (maximum) prepared to pay a substantial fee. No contracted player will leave (even on a free) if another club is not prepared to at least match what we are obliged to pay them. It is worth noting that prospective suitors (like us) are coming to terms with FFP and/or the SCMP and hence may not be as willing to take players as they have been in previous windows. Similarly - out-of-contract players will only sign new contracts for Bristol City if we offer them more than they can earn elsewhere. In the circumstances, even if the projected season ticket revenue is realised (which must be a significant risk) SO'D's available wage budget for new signings (over and above the contracted players) is only 12% (100% minus 88% already committed) of the SCMP cap. I estimate this to be approximately £600K. As a consequence unless: we are able to move some of the contracted players out PDQ; and/or SO'D intends to sign only three (or less) additional players we will not be making offers to established players (whether ours or others) which they cannot refuse unless the alternative is unemployment. Sadly the days when a club could unilaterally decide who was to be retained whether under contract or not have long passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 If out of contract players don't get any offers from anyone else, they get paid until August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Fred Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hope I'm wrong, but regretably I still can't see us being that ruthless. sure do hope your wrong-a rutheless cull is desperately needed and the only viable reference point for many City faithful to have interest in the new season..
