There is zero chance of that! The Bolton and Bury players were complaining that they were going to lose their house and everything as they had not been paid yet Zakuani et al have all chosen to risk everything by choosing not to receive any pay. Zakuani is still injured so cannot sign elsewhere yet so is guaranteed to not get any pay. NO WAY ON GOD'S EARTH is that the case! Plus it's surely illegal to terminate a contract without any form of compensation. Are we heading for multiple employment tribunals?
I don't get what we get out of this. If we pay off their remaining contract, this does not free up wages for new players like everyone suggests. We've simply handed them their money now instead of later and lost a member of staff that could be used. The only way that works is if we don't pay them anything (see above for details). I don't remember this happening at all before yet we have had loads this season (Zakuani, List, Parrett, Oldaker, Reilly etc). Confused.
