His contract didn’t expire, he used a rule where two late payments of wages allowed him to terminate his contract. Think Famewo did the same.

I didn't say his contract expired, I asked why he would sign a new deal with them particularly if he had offers elsewhere and he could move for free. Why would you willingly choose to not get paid just out of some notion of loyalty to an employer who has broken laws by not paying you? Boot licking in the extreme.

Your comment read as if you thought his contract expired and he walked away.

Would agree in most industries but think football is a bit different. Above all players owe loyalty to the fans and players get paid enough really, not like they will be facing financial hardship.

I said he was able to walk away for free because his contract was broken by virtue of the fact he hadn't been paid twice. Why would he extend terms with Wednesday? If you had the opportunity to walk away with no restrictions why would you re-impose those restrictions? I presume if he had decided to stay, he couldn't have just walked away in January because of the previous missed payments prior to Summer? It would have 'reset'.

Who are you to say what players will and won't be facing? They all have financial commitments and to suggest that a player could just walk away tomorrow and have no money issues is rather naive.

He’s getting paid 5 figures a week, come off it <doh>

The problem is not the fit and proper owner test, I'm sure Chansiri had and still has loads of money, don't think he's done anything illegal either. The problem comes when he decides not to put any more money into a loss making business.
The FA and EFL should be trying to find a way to ensure football clubs can be a sustainable business.

I agree, maybe wages shouldn't exceed say for example 50% or 60% of turnover, as I would say most of the club's problem is the wage bill.
 
There will be serious interest now as the price is cheap. Someone could soo. Turn that club round. But they are best getting relegated then have no restrictions.
 
As he's probably a major creditor does Chansiri have a say on what offer the administrator will accept?
I seem to recall that when Adam Pearson took us over secured creditors had to vote to accept his pence in the pound offer. I also seem to recall it wasn't simply a majority had to accept, it was a highish percentage figure.
 
It was him that called them in wasn't it?
I think I must have misread...

but found this.... Chansiri, the owner, is refusing to fund the club, and is also asking a ridiculous price to sell as a going concern. It does look really bad ...

The administrator has said they have been inundated with interest and they are building a data base to filter the interested parties (?)

the EFL committee should all resign over this, disgraceful mismanagement. Where is the new football commissioner in all this
