I'd actually said basically the same thing earlier in the thread but about Svensson so I completely agree with your point - the only thing is that contracts normally run to the end of June so you're right that we'd want to announce it before regardless of when he was contractually able to start.Yep, but I'd imagine Reims will be ok with us announcing him with a view to start work on June 1st or whenever this contract year is up, as long as the announcement is after their season is done.
Football clubs and contract are weird, as @Southern A said he's probably on gardening leave not actually sacked
