Quote from: scawsby steve on May 15, 2018, 07:38:19 pmGenuine question; I've noticed that most players who are considered available are on contract until June 30th, and yet I'm sure we've signed players before that date in previous seasons. Is there some kind of pre-contract agreement that can be made before the player actually signs?Assuming you’re talking of players that are to be released at the end of their current deals. It’s simply a case of setting the contract start date to begin immediately after the cessation of the existing contract. All terms would be agreed and signed off ahead of the effective from date, so there’s no issue with announcing it. Standard practice in and out of football I think.

Whether we have the smallest or largest budget in league one doesn't ultimately matter. It's how wisely the money is spent and who Ferguson gets in the lineup at the start of next season that counts. The largest budget does not guarantee promotion. As hard as it is patience is needed.

DF's Dad was brilliant at it.
